What? A commercial flight does not deserve to get shot down. These are innocent civilians.

“The US media will find a reason to blame Trump.”

That’s easy...

If Trump hadn’t killed Salami, the Iranians wouldn’t have launched the rockets at the US base today, which caused them to worry about what Trump would unleash next. So they became a bit frazzled and trigger happy and started shooting at anything that moved in their air space.

Obvious Trump’s fault.

If true, Boeing stock should nose dive tomorrow.

"Perhaps the people on board were trying to get out of Iran as quickly as possible."

Who in their right mind boards a plane, and then takes off knowing that Iran is shooting missiles? Give them all the Darwin Award.

And Persian people are also flat out gorgeous in general, especially the women.

Iran is actually a tourist destination for some people and should be for all of us when the smoke clears. Lots of cool sites especially ancient ones.

Post of the Day. I was thinking Putin before Iran due to the plane being Ukrainian.

The video you cite is clearly marked in the upper right hand corner as being shot in “2014”. Other commenters point out that it appears to be video of a Russian SAM downing a Ukranian airliner from 6 years ago.

Al Hadath is apparently not a reliable (a Saudi funded anti-Iranian) source. So until we know more, we should withhold judgment.

Must have been a Ukranian on the plane with evidence against Biden. Lol. Oh wait. That is actually not a joke anymore.

Copy and thanks. I try to be careful, but this one clearly got me. I still strongly suspect it was a SAM, but you are right and we all (me too) should wait for more info.

"It was a Boeing 737 Max 8. The type many nations have grounded."

Looks like the Iranians grounded it.

I wonder if it was a charter flight from Burisma with Soros and Brennan on board.

Soleimeni, the gift that keeps on giving.

The missile was shot down by a Ukrainian passenger plane. The plane was captained by Worf who deliberately rammed the missile.

leaving Iran

an old boss said he was flying thru Tehran after he had been on a trip to the Himalayas when the Shah was leaving, said Iranians in the airport were covered in fur coats,carrying all they could and eating buckets of caviar.

It was a regular 737 and only 3 years old. Only the MAX 8 ones have been having these problems.

I also believe the Iranians shot it down. They are nervous, badly trained and have shit equipment.
