Ukrainian Boeing 737 crashes in Iran, all 170 aboard killed: Iranian state TV

737-800 apparently. Initial reports suggest an in flight engine fire followed by loss of control, shortly after takeoff.
Cause is pure speculation, but although only hours after the Iran missile strikes against US bases in Iraq, it is difficult to see how it could be related to Iran-US tension. I have no knowledge of the airline, but the first thought would be maintenance!
I really, really need to get out more... [tonguewink]
My CDO ( OCD for those who don't have it....) finally beat me.

Nice work if you can get it.
BREAKING NEWS Dennis Muilenberg, who ran Boeing during two deadly crashes, will leave the company with $62.2 million in stock and pension awards. Friday, January 10, 2020 5:33 PM EST Dennis A. Muilenburg will not receive any additional severance or separationpayments in connection with his departure, and Boeing said he had forfeitedstock units worth some $14.6 million.
But the value of the other stock andpension awards he is contractually entitled to receive is worth $62.2 million,the company said.
Incompetence and/or arrogance are always rewarded... [bigwhistle]
IMHO, Boeing management went off-course when they amalgamated...
Glad to see he will have sufficient for his Golf Club fees.[bigsad]
Now, Boeing dreamliner under attack from a former manager.
Boeing Dreamliner production problems threaten the aircraft's safety
Quality Manager no less.
Good story about him on ABC's 7.30 Report.
The old saying was If it's not Boeing I'm not going is no longer being trotted out.by frequent fliers I know.
It's a shame the A380.has ceased production.
Cheers
I rather like the A380, but the simple fact is that eliminating restrictions on over water flights by twin engined aircraft, together with the relatively few routes that demand aircraft of this size means that there are very few routes where the large four engined plane makes sense - the fuel and maintenance costs per passenger are inevitably higher for the four engined plane, and in most cases outweigh the other savings gained from the larger size.Quote:
