That's just what the Mothra apologists want you to think.

Thats what I originally thought, based largely on the plane coming down in one piece.

 

But then the guardian has this

Quote

Iran says it will not hand over the black box of the Ukrainian plane to Boeing. The black box containing vital records of how the plane crashed has been located in a field among the debris of the plane outside Tehran.

 

It is not clear whether Iranian authorities are disputing the legality of handing over the black box to Boeing, or whether they are seeking to inspect the box themselves.

 

The Ukrainian government has deleted a tweet saying the plane’s crash was the result of an accident.

 

The news has fuelled speculation that there is something suspicious about the downing of the plane, with one theory doing the rounds on social media that Iran could have mistaken the plane for an incoming US military aircraft.

[Bjornebye]

Or of course Libyan airlines flight 114 shot out of the sky by Israel

Or that Malaysian airlines flight grabbed out of the air by Godzilla just so he could spite Mook by ramming it up his arse

Because it happened in 1988?

Just like Lockerbie then. I am sure SD was referring to it earlier.

Wouldn’t the Iranian aviation authority have jurisdiction for the investigation and so retain the black box anyway?

I think that they do but need to include Ukraine as they were operating the airline and the US as that was the country of manufacturing.

Cheers.

Strange if Iran did mistaken it for a hostile aircraft because commercial flights around the middle east were all as normal last night even after the missile attack. I wouldn't rule out US or other involvement at all. I don't believe in good guys v bad guys anymore. They are all cunts. Its about oil, money and also a certain nations lust for power in that region. Thats it in my opinion. 

[Jairzinho]

Iran are pretty fucked if they can't even manufacture their own boxes.

[Bjornebye]

 

 

 

No country should hold nuclear weapons but why are some allowed and not others? Israel hold them why can't Iran?

In Iran We Trust

We all hope that was it, because further escalation would be horrible, but also, you cannot help but think, what, Trump is actually going to get away with it, with some rockets fired in the desert around the army bases?

It's almost like there was an it is what it is message about Soleimani from the US and then somebody in Tehran switched off their mobile and looked pensively at the mountain peaks visible from the city.

Iran have shouted loads about war and violence etc in the past without substance so maybe this attack on Soleimani has made them think "Fuck, we actually don't want a war" and they have had an agreement with the US to fire a shitload of missiles at a base. The US can make sure their troops are safe and Iran can report a load of deaths within Iran to appease the masses. 

 

Who knows. Lets hope thats it.
