A Ukrainian International Airlines 737 with at least 170 people on board crashed on Wednesday due to technical problems soon after taking off from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini airport, Iran’s official news agency IRNA reported.

Problem is I don’t 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”.

Did this have Putin’s blessing?

See: Flight MH17 Crash

And SoS Pompeo was supposed to be in Ukraine this week. But trip was cancelled.

Try calling Hillary Clinton.

Hmmm...They’ve already called it “mechanical failure”...that was quick...https://www.foxnews.com/world/ukrainian-plane-crash-tehran-iran-180-passengers

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 ain’t going.

This was a 737 Max 8. Many nations grounded them. Apparently not Ukraine.

The flight was mistakenly shot down by Iran.
