They’re gonna send it to Yemen for a fair assessment :)
Who do they think they are?
Nancy “We will not hand over the articles of impeachment” Pelosi?
THE Quds force is settling scores with Ukrainians in Iran doing the work of the Lord. An arranged crash.
Was the plane a 737 Max is my big question
Iran has all of these Quds Force irregulars running around heavily armed. I am sure many of them have MANPADS.
That’s the problem when you put Surface-to-Air missiles in the hands of civilians. No coordinated control.
My best guess is that some militiaman was not aware that regular flights were in the area, and fired at what he thought was a US aircraft. Just another consequence of Iran’s At-War-But-Not-Really-At-War posture.
Why should they? The manufacturer often has representatives on site as a crash to assist, but neither Boeing or Airbus or any other aircraft manufacturer has the power to demand the black boxes. They don't belong to the manufacturer. They go to the local authorities.
The article says Ukrainian Airlines has suspended flights to Tehran now. Dang it how am i gonna get to my winter vacation hotspot now?! I know there are so many disappointed tourists like me. Maybe Air North Korea is still flying in.
Iran thought it was a warplane coming after them and shot it down?
What?
Another 737 crashed in a Third World Muslim country?
Guilty!
Boeing is guilty!
The trigger-happy, panicked Iranians shot it down thinking it was an American warplane.
That’s not suspicious......
IOW, Iran shot them down. By accident or not.
Once the Uke airline releases the passenger manifest it might turn up a wanted somebody Iran didn’t like.
Bump.
