It appears that the Iranian boys panicked. Itchy trigger finger.

So, in doing their “symbolic retaliation”, they shot themself in the foot.

This just gets better and better. I wonder how Canada feels about this.

Could have been a deliberate attempt to strike at the American economy by hurting Boeing, which has had its problems lately.

Let’s see if they stonewall and play “hide the salami” with the investigators.

“Accident”?

No, the missile operators deliberately targeted the plane and fired in attack.

“Accident” would be somebody tripped and fell on the launch button.

Negligent in target identification (Rule 4: Know your target), yes.
Accident, no.

It would appear the prudent thing to do would have been to divert all air traffic to/from Iran for a while when they launched their attack.

But what to I know?

Seems like a recurring theme when tensions with Iran heats up there is a massive mistake that shoots down an airliner.

The Iranian Mullahs have some explaining to do. The corrupt Islamic dictatorship would screw up a wet dream as the old saying goes.

Liblogic 101. Had Trump not killed the kindly grand dad general, there would have been no reason to launch rockets. Ergo, Trump killed the passengers on the jet. Plus, since it was from Ukraine there must have been someone on board who had the goods on Trump.😵

I believe it was an accident.

When there’s shooting afoot, people get hurt.

There is no rational motive for shooting down a civilian airliner upon take off from your own airport.

No one fell for the old ‘center fuel tank explosion’ ruse?

The crash wreckage show signs of impact by fragments from the warhead of a missile launched by the Iranian Ra'd missile system, which is closely derived from the Russian 9K37 Buk low to medium altitude SAM system.
