Problem is I dont trust Boeing much these days either.
Shot down by an Iranian AAA unit by mistake?
I figured they shot it down thinking it was one of ours, but the Boeing factor changes things considerably.
From Boeing: Our design requirements did not include surface to air missile impacts. We believe this would constitute a mechanical failure.
KAL007 Redux.
Did this have Putins blessing?
See: Flight MH17 Crash
And SoS Pompeo was supposed to be in Ukraine this week. But trip was cancelled.
Possible.
Those Iranian maniacs are trigger-happy these days.
I wonder how many Americans were on board?
Try calling Hillary Clinton.
I doubt many Americans but certainly a bunch of Russians in addition to the Ukrainians. This will be a major incident.
Hmmm...They’ve already called it “mechanical failure”...that was quick...https://www.foxnews.com/world/ukrainian-plane-crash-tehran-iran-180-passengers
What about MH17?
Many people, including Lookner on Agenda-Free TV, have been very skeptical about the idea of the Iranians accidentally shooting down a passenger plane. But it does happen, especially during times of heightened tensions. Remember that the US Navy accidentally shot down an Iranian airliner (an Airbus A300) flying out of Tehran in 1988.
If it is Boeing, I aint going.
This was a 737 Max 8. Many nations grounded them. Apparently not Ukraine.
I read a really good article about Boeing and McDonnell Douglas and the bean counter culture of McDonnell Douglas ruining Boeing.
Was it a max? Jaysus
Flying Max over a known warzone sounds like seriously suicidal.
