Did we shoot our own passenger plane?

[Cthulhu]

For God's sake, Now every retard online is an aviation expert, If people are dumb enough to think that those fragments mean that the plane was hit by a missile, They might as well believe that Trans World Airlines Flight 800 (TWA 800) was hit by US navy RIM-66 Standard Missile above the Atlantic ocean.

One of my Iranian Friend passed away from this crash along with his wife and Son. Please send prayers...

Is this the Max again?

Is this the Max again?

No, it was the deadlier 737-800 series.

I am outraged. Why did we not declare NOTAM? This is a major failure on multitude of levels regardless of of this plane was shut down or not. The first priority should always be safety of civilians and they failed.

Unfortunately, YES IRAN DID shoot its own Civilian Airliner and killed 176 innocent people. Where was the coordination between the Military and Civilian establishment to avoid such blunders? Where was the escalation ladder? I am deeply sadden by the loss of 176 people.

Indians also shot down their own helicopter the moment it was up. Very likely case in the fog of war when things were happening very quickly.

Airspace shud have immediately closed after attack

No, it was the deadlier 737-800 series.

And this is most widely used in aviation world. This particular aircraft was only 3 years old.

How is no one mentioning that the plane was climbing?

"But five security sources - three Americans, one European and one Canadian - who asked not to be named, told Reuters the initial assessment of Western intelligence agencies was that the plane had suffered a technical malfunction and had not been brought down by a missile. There was evidence one of the jet’s engines had overheated, the Canadian source said."

The TWA Flight 800 was a great find and I am glad that the early investigations are pointing away from accidental shutdown.

Why did we not declare NOTAM?

A NOTAM would have been an obvious give away that ‘something’ was about to happen.

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

All this clutter can be discarded, if Iran releases the mayday message from the doomed pilots.

Im sure they would have contacted the ATC in any case.

A NOTAM would have been an obvious give away that ‘something’ was about to happen.

Well after the fact, they could have sent out warnings to incoming and outgoing planes to either divert, halt or follow specific pattern.

Could be closely related to the same issue that the MAX series is having...
