Thread: Sadly, 176 people have died in air crash in Iran

Yes, not confirmed as yet, and seeing the news footage of the "remains", it's hard to comprehend how any definite conclusion could be made from them, but conclusions do get made don't they, and interesting to note, the footage spent some time looking at suspicious "holes" in the remains of the plane's fuselage, similar to those seen in the Ukranian disaster.
Pickles.

Justin Trudeau said intelligence confirmed a shoot down was one possible explanation. Iranians say a mechanical fault most likely as the plane was turning back towards the airport. Puzzling no comms recorded to the air traffic control. Video seems to show a fireball before it crashed.
It's good the Iranians are letting the Ukranians send in experienced investigators. I'm not surprised they don't want the Americans involved. Why would they? They would assume Trump would distort the evidence to blame them.
Very sad.

There you go with your biased "Political Nonsense" again.
It's nothing to do with "my mate Donald", no Americans on the plane, so why would He be involved....if anything I think the Canadians would be entitled to be involved in any subsequent investigation.

Lets face facts,
Accident or no accident, the Aircraft would not have been shot down if Trump had not assassinated General Soleimani .

Certainly true the assassination and Iran's moderated response caused the Iranians to be very jumpy and maybe someone over-reacted to Trump's provocative behaviour.

waiting for conspiracy theorists,

Quack quack quack.
Photos of warheads, video of misslle launch.
Hmmm

Sometimes it is wise to wait a while before commenting.

What I don't understand from photos I've seen of the alleged remnants of the nose of the missile is why it just seems to have been placed where it is. There's no disturbed earth that I'd expect to see from something hitting the ground at speed.

Eliot Higgins on Twitter: "Second image (right) of Tor anti-aircraft missile debris, supposedly from near the #PS752 crash site. Still unverified, and still going to be very hard to geolocate it based on what's visible in the image. h/t @Liberalist_30… https://t.co/1EKijopLbU"

Nothing gets past my mate Justy does it?

I informed the world this was the case yesterday & Blind Freddy could see that as well.

You lot also knew they were lying sods & it wouldn't look too good for them if they had stuffed up after all the hellfire & damnation talk they had spouted.

Will they ever admit it? Who knows?

Now onto far more important stuff. Who wants to discuss Meghan & Dopey easily led?

No-one? There is a surprise. I think most of us all saw that coming.
