Re: 2016 Presidential Election
Nothing confirmed or reputable, but lots of smoke/rumors swirling that Iran shot down the passenger plane accidentally.
What a shitshow.

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
I don't believe that. At least from what I understand of the plane crashing. It happened on takeoff, don't see them screwing this up that muchshel311 wrote:Nothing confirmed or reputable, but lots of smoke/rumors swirling that Iran shot down the passenger plane accidentally.

Putting a propeller on my tinfoil hat... brand new plane, Ukraine Air says it was in excellent shape, Iran refuses to turnover the box. Oh, and these images.GeorgesGoons wrote:I don't believe that.

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
I was actually being serious. I just don't see why anyone would go there. I believe they said 9 or 11 Canadians were killed in the crashnick wrote:lol
And now the Pentagon is saying Iran took down the aircraft by a Russian made SAM.

Yep, when I posted it, I thought folks would come to that conclusion quickly, but it seemed we mostly ignored it.GeorgesGoons wrote:And now the Pentagon is saying Iran took down the aircraft by a Russian made SAM.
The plane coming down in the same timeframe that Iran "retaliated" was just quite the coincidence.

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
Why though?
it’s an Iranian flight heading to the Ukraine.
Just because to create more chaos? What’s the motivations?

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
Soldiers are inheritingly dumb, not allowed to be free thinkers. And probably even more so in these types of countries. Poor young soldier was probably told to fire on the plane because it was thought to be a US military plane. Just my guess. I don't think Iran did this on purpose to throw some shade at the missle strikeCnasty wrote:Why though?

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
Interesting.
Was curiously wondering the why and motive and how it involves the US but that makes sense.

There was just no way a plane went down the same night that Iran is sending out missiles, and the 2 weren't linked.

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
But it wasn't a missle that was intended for Americans. The missles they launched had 1000lb warheads. It's being reported that it was brought down by a SA-15 portable SAM system.shel311 wrote:Being reported as an "errant missle"Cnasty wrote:Why though?

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
When this first happened there was a amateur video that was released that showed the plane begin ascent and then explode... Why would someone just randomly film departures from any airport?

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
we have these people known as Iran-Canadians who immigrated to Canada from Iran and they wanna go back home to see family.. thats why I lol'd.. you asked 2 options and the most obvious "theyre from there so they wanted to go back during the holidays" wasnt there.GeorgesGoons wrote:I was actually being serious.

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
Many of the passengers were believed to be international students attending universities in Canada; they were making their way back to Toronto by way of Kyiv after visiting with family during the winter break.
