Ukrainian plane down in Iran

Post by rookiepilot »

Crashed on takeoff. B 737. "Technical problems" is the story.

Hmmmmm.........rather a coincidence with tonight's events.

...Seems they are going to remove the axe and the control column from the cockpits for security reasons.

Distant video of crash. It is not related to recent events apparently.

While I shouldn't be speculating, it would not be difficult to believe that it was shot down.

Likely? Probably not. Just odd timing.

Very sad....chances are this is going to be another MH370 situation where the US and Iran will accuse each other of shooting down the airliner (if it was shot down).
