Everyone seems far too eager to declare this wasn’t terrorism. Both the Iranians and Ukrainians issued statements saying it wasn’t terrorism, which itself is odd so early on.
How many planes are fireballs in the sky, with clearly visible explosions recorded on video from the ground, without there being a bomb involved? If, and it remains a big if, the Iranian government was somehow responsible for the killing of 176 innocent people (63 of whom were Canadians visiting family), they will not have made any friends here today. I will be cautious, though. It certainly doesn’t appear there was anything in it for the Iranians to kill these people. I hope the truth comes out.
awful happening and yes it could easily have been an accidental missile but its probably better if that would never be discovered and very likely it wont
Our FAA had previously issues a Notice to Airmen not to fly over Iran. Since this plane took off from Iran you would think missile crews would have been aware of it. However it was a night of excitement. I’m sure the Iranians were tense.
I was feeling a lot of empathy towards Iran. Then this. I realize it was probably a mistake but their lying about it isn’t helping me feel positive toward them.
True but so do we (i.e. - lying about our justification for Donald’s distraction attack). Which by the way is not being seen sympathetically by the house.
Yes, but when the US shot down an Iranian jet liner some years ago, they promptly admitted it after initially lying. It is better. Obviously not perfect but better.
Then again, that was pre-Donald and lying is now the US way under that idiot.
ok lol
interesting turn of events and yes it looks like the iranians might have to make an official statement since a lot of things are pointing towards an iranian missile hitting that plane
