No doubt President Trump will get blamed. By the DemocRATS and the Iranians.

Hmmm. I wonder if there were any Burisma executives on that plane. Or is Iran a popular holiday destination for your average Ukrainian?

Probably accidentally shot down by trigger-happy, panicked Iranian Anti-aircraft artillery expecting American air power.

Oh yeah.....it was shot from an erratic US ballistic missile fired from one of the Iraqi military bases.

That’s coming....

Iran was on high alert for incoming, and they shot it down.

Rather obvious

That vid reminds me of footage of TWA800.

It flared up then plummeted just like that.

Some still believe it was shot down by a missile fired from a US Navy ship during a training exercise.

Somebody probably forgot to disconnect the spark plug in the empty center fuel tank.

Scared people make mistakes, big mistakes.

If the communication was that Commercial flights were off (as in prohibited), they react to anything.

Maybe. But they know such an action would be suicidal.

Gosh, why wouldn’t Iran shut down air flights? So dangerous for flights to continue whilst they are shooting off missiles at US bases. Where is their intelligence & common sense? It’s like the 35 people who died at the funeral of Soleimani. They were trampled to death by the crowd. They need to change their faith.
