    The plane went down 2 minutes after takeoff. It had a serious fire, cause unknown, but given the timing I wouldn't put it past the islamo-nazis firing a missile at it. Some video out there.

    I don't wonder, I know. That plane was 3.5 years old and I may have actually flown on it before. I've flown on several UIA flights.

    Bomb or missile, one or the other:

    I'd be giving them a wide berth. These people will/would do anything to try to point a finger at Trump.

    What Iran needs is a Nuclear Enema. It will be interesting to see if there were any Americans on that flight.

    My condolences to the families of those killed in this horrible tragedy. May they rest in peace.

    Information released by Iran indicates that 82 of the passengers were Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians, 4 Afghans, 3 Germans, and 3 Brits.

    The black box has been found,
    Iran is not releasing it
    and Ukraine has deleted a tweet that said that the plane crashing was an accident.

    One has to wonder at the actions of the Iranians here. Why shoot an international flight out of the sky? Do they really believe they can approximate the anger from 1988 all over again? For those that might not remember, there was a US Navy destroyer that shot down what they believed was an Iranian war plane. Iran used the event to show the world the wreckage of an Iranian airliner and lots of bodies. it wasn't ever established that what the US navy shot down was, in fact, that wreckage. Given that the Iranian media were just reliving this event in their news cycle, it seems like a strange bit of coincidence....

    His being dead is a good thing, of course. That's all you'll hear from CNN and progressives, too.

    Partly, but they all chimed in on how reckless, dangerous, and without precedent it is. That it needlessly brought the world to the brink of WW III. Not even close. All it did was make a worm squirm, and eagle happy.

    Anyone with an ounce of reason knew Iran couldn't do anything -- Iran is nothing but a bunch of mindless religious thugs getting their sexual jollies watching others bow to Allah.

    Some minds knew the truth:

    Yes, and it was reckless, dangerous, and without precedent. I didn't hear anyone on CNN talking about WWIII, though. They know better than that. Progressives, well, they can be just as clueless and silly as the average trumper.

    I doubt it, most of the passengers were Iranian. Talking about that though, a Ukrainian whistleblower has made a documentary with all the proof showing that the M17 was downed by Poroshenko and the British MI6.

    Frankly, I still think Kolomoisky was involved since he's familiar with the airports, but I always sensed Poroshenko was pure evil. (Just look at his eyes). Anyone who wouldn't allow his men to surrender like he did at Debaltshevo, and then fooled them into leaving in tanks knowing they'd be killed, has to be.

    As for the MI6, they're capable of anything - even the death of Diana. The false flag attacks in Syria were done with their help. They also knew the White Helmets they supported were selling body parts of those who they were supposedly saving - and they could care less.

    The circumstances sure make this seem like the Iranians shot the plane down, but if they did, it was probably an accident. I imagine Tehran air defense has been super trigger happy and nervous the past couple of days.

    The plane came down near Tehran not long after take off and there are videos showing its takeoff and crash. Unless Iran has some mysterious invisible or laser type air defenses, the crash was due to mechanical problems as stated by initial reports from Iran and Ukraine. Everything else that follows is simply the typical way "news" about Iran is handled, which is to say propaganda, spin, and wild imagination taking the place of anything based on reality.

    Coming from the guy who reported up to 70 US casualties at from the missile attacks. Anyway, I don't know that it was shot down by air defense, but the decision by Iran to refuse to release the black box makes that suspicious. That and the circumstances of the crash that destroyed the plane so quickly there were no Mayday or SOS calls from the plane.
