This guy is full of crap. The plane was following the customary climb out pattern from the airport!
Hmmm. Maybe the airport should have their take-off flight paths re-figured.
I don’’t believe it and I’m sure the man responsible is already dead.
That's logical. Cruise missiles frequently take off from International Airports.
In other words this is where they are storing their plutonium.
Yeah that’s the ticket, flew to close, yeah.
NO! The Iranians assumed that the Americans were going to send aircraft into Iran to retaliate, and then when the Iranians shot the airliner down, they could blame it on Tha Americans. The plane was shot down INTENTIONALLY in an Iranian chess match gone wrong. Now the American media is helping them out. Makes you wonder how many are paid off by the Iranians. All supposition of course, but probably more accurate than the major media projectile that is being vomited.
We were going to see the synagogues, the museums... The whole shmear.
Alas there goes our plans for vacationing in Iran this summer.
Damn the IFF and ATC radar data, full speed ahead and fire at will (or muhammed, whatever)
Umm, nope. They had explicit flight plans and knew which way to leave after takeoff.
Auto/Manual toggle switch.
Achmed wanted a cigarette.
Poof!
Doesn’t everyone build a “sensitive military site” right under the nose of an international airport!
"This is your pilot. Thank you for flying Ukraine Airlines tonight. It should be an interesting flight. I have been told that the Iranian military will be shooting rockets off that are intended to hit American bases. So, we are going to try to get the plane on a flight path to let you see this historic event. Sit back and relax. Look our your windows."
Stoopid pilot.
never should have gotten to that point. the airport should have been closed. you dont create an active war zone, and then fly commercial airliners through it. staggering incompetence on the part of the iraqi govt.
Don’t think Iran is any less culpable in this case, but I repeat:
THE PILOT, THE AIRLINE, THE CONTROL TOWER ARE NOT BLAMELESS.
They were all goofy to try to fly through DEADLY FIREWORKS.
“Our air defense systems sent a signal to the plane and after ten seconds in which no response was received, it was decided to shoot it down.”
Signal, what? Voice? Interrogate the transponder/IFF, or what?
Yet despite this admission by the Iranians, the lying media and Democratic candidates will still somehow try to blame Trump for the plane being shot down.
