crash was due to technical difficultiesComment -
A Ukrainian Boeing-737 with more than 170 people on board has crashed in Iran, officials say.
Iran's Red Crescent said there was no chance of finding survivors.
The Ukraine International Airlines plane crashed just after take-off from Iran's Imam Khomeini airport in Tehran, said the Fars state news agency.
The plane was flying to the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. Ukraine's government said a crisis group was being set up to investigate the crash.
President Volodymyr Zelensky was cutting short a trip to Oman and returning to Kyiv, a statement said. "My sincere condolences to the relatives and friends of all passengers and crew," he said in a statement.

Rumors it was an Iran missile from who?Originally posted by slayer14
Stasi propaganda office?.Comment -
Not sure why Iran would want to kill a bunch of its own citizens and piss off a handful of other countries as well.
Hopefully just weird timingComment -
A bit suspicious to know plane crashed because of technical difficulties within the hour, plane only 3.5 years oldComment -
Shot downComment -

We will see if Iran will allow access to black box and flight recording transmissions to Ukraine and other foreign countries ' investigators.
Due to timing and location questions will abound about possible cover up of a false trigger of some anti aircraft type missile that was online only because of the earlier attacks, or a drone or even manned irianian aircraft flying in wrong air zone. But something like a drone returning from surveiling the attacked us military bases is conceivable.
Seeing as how the iranian military actions may have netted just damage to facilities and no us soldier casulities . It would be incredibly embarrassing and enraging for Iran officials to have the net outcome of their military actions to end up being their own civilians and a lot of Canadians with Iranian heritage
They would be a laughing stock of so many and I would think international consequences would be coming.Comment -
If due to Boeing do they have to pay compensation? These guys need to pay if their fault so many dumb greedy decisions like using Indian programmers paid 10 bucks an hourOriginally posted by OptionalComment -
I guess if it was a Boeing error. But I was just being facetious. I think this model plane is proven fine.
One interesting aside is that USA ordered all us operated carriers to not use airspace over Iran or the Gulf just yesterday..Comment -

Australia followed the lead too.Originally posted by Chi_archie
But it was USA led.
Interesting how swiftly other countries acted possibly..Comment -
Propaganda is people who believe solemani was in Iraq for peace keeping or that he fought ISIS.Originally posted by Optional
If you look at images from wreckage it doesn't look like any mechanical issue. Unless they mean mechanical issue from a missile sending shrapnel into the plane.
Also plane was just inspected two days ago and the fact they had sudden lost of data communications is very unusual.

Doubts have been cast over Iranian assertions that a deadly Ukrainian plane crash near Tehran was the result of technical failures, with independent aviation operations experts saying a “shootdown” was the most likely explanation.Iranian officials said technical issues were behind the Ukrainian International Airlines (UIA) crash, which happened shortly after take-off from Imam Khomeini International Airport on Wednesday morning, killing all 176 people on board.The Ukrainian embassy in Tehran initially echoed this stance, but later retracted its statement, and instead said it was for an official commission to determine the cause of the accident.Related: Three Britons among 176 killed in crash namedWhile some aviation experts said it was too early to speculate, the OPS group, an aviation risk monitoring group, said: “We would recommend the starting assumption to be that this was a shootdown event, similar to MH17 – until there is clear evidence to the contrary," highlighting photos of the crash site which they said "show obvious projectile holes in the fuselage and a wing section."

Get the black box and begin an investigation. Until then all just speculation..Comment -
The Iranians quickly claimed aircraft failure. When it takes weeks or months to analyze the black box. Lots more to this situation.Comment -
Wonder if any Ukrainians on plane had ties to impeachment shit. This Iranian posturing could all have been a distraction so Trump could take out someone on flight who had real evidence on him. Waiting for Alex Jones to confirm.
Sounds as stupid as the Clinton theories.Comment -
Iranians will not give up the airplanes black boxes.. This is on the news now.. That admits guilt of some kind to me...
I'm convinced now a surface to air missile probably took out this plane. Whether it was an accidental miss fire by some Iranian idiot manning the missiles launch pads or not is yet to be determined? I don't see what benefit it would be to the Country of Iran to take out this Commercial airliner on their own turf?
A lot of Canadians died, no Americans..Comment -
They wont give the boxes to Boeing or any USA company.Originally posted by JIBBBY
They are going to a proper analysis body in some other country to do it they said..Comment -
Which means they will have Russia do it.Originally posted by Optional
It is obvious this plane was shot down just like Russia shot down MH17.Comment -
We'll see about that Opti? The Canadians have a good investigation division that can take the Black Boxes and read them.Originally posted by Optional
Seems to me the Canadians suffered the biggest loss of people in this crash.. 63 and counting..
Comment -
Well not obvious, but I agree you were right and rumors were justified.Originally posted by aussiebuckeye
And I'd bet they go to Europe or Canada to investigate boxes. If its Russia then yeah, it's sus..Comment -
Iran and coincidence is an oxymoron.
There is no coincidence here.Comment -
Buy some Boeing shares, they are on sale.Comment -
Iranians shot it down accidentally w/a missile? if it really was shot down...makes you have to wonder if it was indeed an accident. what a fkn shame if true.Comment -
sounds like could of been shot down my mistake , there was alot of iran citizens on board so i can't imagine they would do it on purposeOriginally posted by deadphish
Comment -
It was definitely a mistake. These idiots did more harm to their own country then they did to us during their retaliation. Hilarious. Imagine if these morons actually did get a nuclear weapon? They would probably press the wrong button and nuke themselves. Fuk them.Comment -
And again I am right.Originally posted by thechaoz
Also, don't take Vikings ML. You will lose your assComment -
no mile high club for those dusty nuts on board.....
ka boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
russian sam performed well, apparentlyComment -
ps... it was shot down by an automated anti-missille defense system, mounted on a vehicle..... some guy set it an "auto" as opposed to manual, probably so he could get his jerk on..... system detected the jet, locked on it, and fired itself automatically.....
(lthat's from my college buddy now high up at Langley)Comment -
This has happened before, only the roles were reversed...
I can only laugh at you clowns who think either of these crashes were accidents...
And what exactly is the Canadian government gonna do if after some investigation it is made public that there was no accident? Jack shit.
This was additional payback for blowing up Soleimani, and they chose to do it in the same way that it was done to them in 1988.Comment
