Looking at the distribution of the holes in the fuselage and tailfin I’d add that it was still within range of a 57 or even 23mm anti-aircraft canon when it came down.

Here's video on PMBreakingNews Twitter.

Mechanical failure my ass. The 800 is shedding fireballs from a right engine strike all the way to the ground.

And I had just posted this to PMBreakingNews just 3 hours earlier before the crash:

"Just took a peek at #AirAware and dozens of intl commercial flights in the air over central and southern Iran, clearly given no warning yet clearance by Iran flight control. Criminal!"

” . . . shows a SAM launch from the ground followed by an orange flash in the sky and then the fireball of impact on the ground.”

So they’re trying to say it wasn’t a spark setting off residual fuel vapors in an empty center fuel tank?

No no no, it was engine failure. What a load of crap.

One video clearly shows the tail section many yards from the crash where is had separated from the main fuselage.

ehhhhh, do not forget the commercial airline we shot down. I believe it was in 88 or 89. Killed 290 people on board.

Not saying it was not a righteous shoot since they entered far within the 20 mile range of our war ships and were haled many times to turn around and did not.

On top of that, you can never know who is really flying the plane and what their intent is.

Really makes one wonder if the IFF settings on the Russkie SAM controllers are set up that way...

That’s all the info we are going to get. By now the Iranians have destroyed all the evidence. Case closed.

They've done it before. That's all I needed.

So a Ukranian jet, in Iran, and it's a Boeing 737.

They really hit the Trifecta, didn't they?

Yeah... If I happened to be in Tehran this week, I might have rolled the dice and gotten on a nice Ukrainian airliner, jut to get out of Dodge.

Did not work out for those poor people. Surely they did not deserve this fate.

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

That is entirely plausible. They will say the actions we took placed the poor Iranians on trigger finger status. I would not put it past those weasels.

This whole fiasco for the last 3 weeks is our pretext for taking out Iran’s nuclear program in its entirety.
