Investigations on the cause of the Ukrainian plane crash have launched based on Int. standards & ICAO regulations; Ukraine and Boeing have been invited- as the owner & the manufacturer- to take part in it. We appreciate any country who can provide info to the Committee in charge.

They’ll be invited but they’re probably be treated like UN weapon inspectors

Those who adhere to Koran followed what they claim are Our Creator’s orders were legitimately executing unbelievers fleeing the area.

The above reality sends chills up and down my back.

Riddle me this,other planes were taking off from that airport right before this plane. Why weren’t they hit?

Remember at this level of screw up, seldom is it coincidence.

Great question?

Babak Taghvaee: I explained for BBCPersian that IRGC commanders who didn’t notify Iran Civil Aviation Org (ICAO) to cancel commercial flights in the night of Operation Soleimani as well as also ICAO authorities are responsible for shot-down of Flight PS752 by IRGCASF’s Tor-M1 SAM battery

Al Jazeera host mocks Iranian vow to ‘liberate’ Jerusalem
In an interview that aired earlier this week, firebrand Al Jazeera presenter Faisal al-Qassem attacked his guest, an Iranian diplomat and journalist, and questioned the Islamic Republic’s fixation on supposedly liberating Jerusalem from Israel, while appearing to criticize the competence of Iran in its proxy activities throughout the Middle East.

“If you want to liberate Jerusalem for me, then I don’t want you to liberate it,” Qassem said. Referencing a Twitter poll he conducted among his followers, he added: “Yesterday I held a poll. No one wants you to free Jerusalem of Palestine for them.”

“Canada is home to a large Iranian diaspora, with some 210,000 citizens of Iranian descent, according to the latest federal census.
The country is also a popular destination for Iranian graduate and postdoctoral students to study and conduct research abroad, which is why many students were on the flight, returning to university following the winter break.
There is also no direct flight between Canada and Iran, and the Ukraine International Airlines flight from Tehran to Kiev and then to Toronto is popular because it is one of the most affordable options for the journey.”

In most middle east countries the male population is always quick to show up at crash sites and more than disturb the areas. Not to mention th gov. officials send in their people to search and remove whatever might implicate them.

It’s not surprising in Iran, given the circumstances at the time, ‘many hands’ would be carrying off parts and evidence...and not the least concerned of disturbing the crash as a possible crime scene.
