A Ukrainian Boeing-737 crashes killing all onboard

[WTFH]

Can't see how that would change the notoriously unreliable Boeing 737NG or prevent an uncontained engine failure?

Haven't you been keeping up? It would have prevented the 737MAX software errors. Every aviation expert knows that.

Yes it's true, 40,000 Americans were killed last year from gunshot wounds. Awful conflict. And they din't even leave the US!

You've conceded this one then.

Ok, would you care to choose the next topic that you know absolutely **** all about so that you can get your arse handed to you - again.

Calm, deep breath.

Haha, you don't need to be anything but calm when the fruit is this low hanging. I'd stick to statistical analysis or whatever it is they actually let you near.

Tehran's nearest land border is several hundred kilometres away. An enemy aircraft crosses the border undetected to shoot down a civilian aircraft way inland? Come on...

I would be very surprised if there's any major airport in the world that doesn't have a defence system nearby to protect it from incoming missiles/ attacks

Iran is obviously a special case, but where do you get that idea? You think Manchester Airport has anti-air capability?

Right. That's it. I'm taking the train next time.

Airport drone disruption: All major UK airports to have 'military-grade' protection - BBC News

[JohntheBike]

Untrue. (as usual)

The plane crash was in Iran, it is up to the Iranian Aviation Authority to investigate. They do not release the black box to someone else.

Normally they would include the aircraft manufacturer in the investigation, but they certainly wouldn't release it to some random bloke you know down the pub.

time will tell!

Yes, because that's *remotely* the same. Christ. That's electronics warfare (essentially) equipment and relies on jamming or some systems claim to be able to use nets and stuff - it's not a bloody missile defence system.

Don't be fooled by the "military-grade" stuff - they aren't blowing drones up with anti-air battery! Though that would be cool.

[WTFH]

What?
Time will tell what?

Do you accept that the Iranians are not supposed to "release the black box", or are you still clinging to that lie?
