Tragic event, but I hope it leads to a real deescalation.Comment

PR wise, their best move now would be to engage with the international community - whether that's opening up the investigation, or admitting fault and working towards a resolution. Unlikely, though - I see they're already outright denying the accusation.

After the Iranians launched the missile strike on the US bases, they were probably on high alert in case of a US counter-attack. Someone may have had an itchy trigger finger.
It seemed a bit too much of a coincidence that the plane went down 2 hours after the missile strike.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

Ummm, that's an interesting point. The flight was delayed by almost 2 hours.
If it was a pre-planned move by someone to hit that particular flight, then it would have happened around the same time as the other missiles were going up.
Thus giving the perpetrators the options of:
If by Iran, they could claim:
1. Iranian missile mistake, but only fired in retaliation for the US assassination.
or
2. US missile attack launched because the Iranians launched missiles (if the US had launched missiles)
or
3. Aviation "expert" knows it's a dodgy engine, not a missile and provides an image to back up his theory
If by US, they could claim:
1. Iranian missile - can't be trusted out of control
or
2. US missile mistake, but only fired in retaliation for the Iranians launching their "unprovoked" missile attack
or
3. Aviation "expert" knows it's a dodgy engine, not a missile and provides AMD share price to back up his theory
So, was the attack pre-planned for that particular flight?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I wonder how they'll reassemble the bits.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

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