Jet crash/us base hit
Jump to: Newest in thread
The Ukrainian jet crashed due to engine failure, I don't know where the possibly being shot down information came from.
I think the two missile attacks on US bases were minimal and designed to leave as few casualties as possible. Iran doesn't want this conflict and despite the media whipping up the frenzy of war, Iran will want to draw a line under this, it doesn't want conflict. This was as fragile as retaliation gets. Iran will keep it personal with Trump but will avoid conflict with the US. |

Iran seems like a right fun place at the moment. Fuck the funeral right up and then a plane comes crashing out the sky the night they launch missiles. The poor old Ayatollahs blood pressure must be sky high. |

"Looking at the crash site photos, that doesn't look like engine failure... "
The engine failure theory has now been withdrawn, pending an official investigation.
No emergency was declared, and the plane vanished off radar screens whilst climbing through 8000ft. This rather indicates a catastrophic failure like a bomb or a missle. |

If it was engine failure after passing its mechanical safety check two days previous, then that is the fastest air crash incident investigation in living memory.
Aircraft and missiles flying around at approximately the same time does raise questions and concerns. It's too close for comfort and a very big coincidence that an aircraft is in multiple bits on the ground and everyone dead that was onboard.

The assassination of The President of United States, even if it is Trump, by a foreign power would definitely lead to a Declaration Of war by the US on which ever foreign power was responsible; and rightly so.
However I do agree with you that currently Trump is a far bigger threat to world peace than Iran.

Going by your theory then surely shouldn't Iran take Trump's action as a declaration of war and in return declare war on the United States? |

Ukraine (MH17) and Iran (IR655) in air disaster on night Iran launches calculated missile strike against US . . . the coincidences are, well, bizarre really.
Fertile ground for conspiracy theorists.
And Boeing's role in the aftermath is bound to be hamstrung by US sanctions on Iran. |

If Iran thought it stood any chance of winning a conversational war against the US it probably would. However the Iranian leadership maybe mad but they are not stupid, unlikely the Donald who increasingly seems like he's not only mad but stupid too.

A 3.5 year old modern jet , serviced days before has a catastrophic , sudden incident minutes after take off at 8,000 feet. Engine failure?. One engine ?. No distress call. Just a normal ascent then nothing. No steady descent of controlled descent. Sounds like a mid air explosion to me . Jet engines fail, not explode . |

The US accounts for 5% of global population and 52% of global defence spending.
A military-industrial complex of such a vast scale continually needs fed. |

.
A bloody nose, what you mean like Vietnam? Or the bay of pigs?.
There not going to re evaluate anything, there top dogs for now and there going to brutally beat down any bullshit state like Iran to reinforce that point, hell even Iran knows it, that's why it fired a shit load of missiles at fuck all, looks good to their own and nothing the US can use to return the favour.
The world war comes when the USA finally losses top dog status |

The irony, too, of an air disaster involving the two countries on the top of Trump's in-tray - Ukraine (impeachment) and Iran.
Iran has been the top of the in-tray since Trump signed an anti-Iran pact with Israel in Dec 2017. |

Does Iran have the necessary equipment to retrieve the information from the black boxes?
I would think an international crash investigation team would need urgent access to these boxes. That would surely include the aircraft manufacturer, the UK, France, the US and the Ukrainians.
I am not convinced on the official engine failure statement,
There is very little information on this tragedy and that is a huge concern.

45 Ukrainian technical experts arrived in Tehran this morning.
How much access they get will be telling.
Some sketchy mobile phone footage appears to show the plane on fire in a steep descent before crashing. |

Under global aviation rules Iran has the right to lead the investigation, but manufacturers are typically involved.

And
Normally, the US National Transportation Safety Board would have a role to play in any international investigations involving US-made Boeings. But the board must act with permission and in accordance with legislation of the foreign country concerned. |

The flight recorder boxes should go to Boeing, the manufacturers, especially if they are damaged with possible memory loss. Boeing would have the means of data recovery. I would have thought that was the logical step in establishing the possible cause.
Or is it convenient that Iran will not involve the manufacturer and can just say what they like about memory loss. I wonder how much access the Ukrainian team is getting as well. Most of the wreckage would have been tampered with by now. Let's be honest here, we do not know what the hell is going on. We are only drip fed snippets, snippets of information from Iran. |

This is what the Americans are floating, but I have not seen any evidence to support it.
I can understand Iran missile defences being primed. But this was an aircraft on the established take-off flight-path from Tehran International Airport.
It still strikes me as a truly bizarre coincidence that this disaster involves Ukraine and Iran - the two countries giving Trump the most trouble. |

Im sure with all the satellite images they have these days that the truth will come out eventually.It does seem feasible though that someone might have thought it was an American attack so soon after shooting rockets at them,we will see. |

I wonder if this is why everybody’s favourite Middle Eastern good guys went from promising to fuck up the USA. To saying that the damp squib of a missile attack doing cosmetic damage to a desert was retaliation enough.
Could be they realised they fucked up big time and needed to concentrate on other things like covering this faux pas up.
Just floating that seeing as now this is the conspiracy forum.

If you were an Iranian right now, having had your top general assassinated by the USA only two days prior to this event would you really want to hand over the flight recorders to Boeing, especially as your representatives would not be allowed to enter America and no Americans in their right mind would want to go to Iran right now? Its not rocket science....or is it? Perhaps its the EU and Airbus trying to win the battle of the skies by downing as many Boeings as they can? 737- max (tick), 767 (tick)! Or maybe its the Russians or Chinese trying to get into the race? Honestly people - get some perspective  |

SA-15s in auto mode will fire two missiles at a target within 5-10 seconds of picking up a contact.
It's very likely that there was no human involvement at all in the decision making process. |

I doubt anyone will be brought to trial over this.
In the case of flight MH17 the Russians charged over the downing of the airline haven’t been brought to trial .Russia will never hand them over .

Iran is a sovereign state. It is not required to comply with the CAA of the UK. Where do you get this idea from?
The Iranian equivalent of the air accident investigation branch leads the investigation, because the flight originated in Iran. |

I agree. It seems to show what many of us thought - missile going through the sky, and point of impact. Explains the sudden loss of communication. Such a shame. |

Oh, you mean the international protocols governing air accident investigation . . . the same protocols that require Iran to conduct the investigation.
I saw a CT expert being interviewed this morning, suggesting this is indicative of a flaw in the software of the Soviet-designed missile batteries.
This was not the only flight taking off from Tehran. There was a succession of flights.
If the assertion of the 5-eyes group is correct, why did the software blip happen to a flight to Ukraine and none of the other flights preceding this one on exactly the same flight path? |

I saw a CT expert being interviewed this morning, suggesting this is indicative of a flaw in the software of the Soviet-designed missile batteries.
This was not the only flight taking off from Tehran. There was a succession of flights.
If the assertion of the 5-eyes group is correct, why did the software blip happen to a flight to Ukraine and none of the other flights preceding this one on exactly the same flight path?"

"If iran don't comply with the caa over this then flights in and out of iran should be stopped. You can't let a country's political position get in the way of air safety.
Iran is a sovereign state. It is not required to comply with the CAA of the UK. Where do you get this idea from?
The Iranian equivalent of the air accident investigation branch leads the investigation, because the flight originated in Iran.

So it was a missile?
A Russian missile system operated by a bunch of murdering trigger happy maniacs . And some people find it hard to believe Iran we’re responsible ?. Jeez"
the plane has small holes all over defintly wasnt caused by a fault |

Im just saying if there's a white wash Iran should suffer. What if there actually is a component on the 737 800 that is defective and likely to produce more accidents, and Iran doesn't let the international community get eyes on this data... more people die. |

This is why it's important for the aircraft manufacturer to analyse the flight recorders. The Iranians could involve other nations such as France but they are allied with the US or even New Zealand, they are pretty neutral these days. If it was an engine fault the manufacturer needs the data to prevent further malfunction of engines.
We will never know the truth, we are just drip fed shite on a daily basis as long as it fits in with the agendas. |

if they had done nothing wrong and it was indeed defective they would just hand it over problem with that is it was checked over before hand iran knows someone messed up this why they wont hand it over

The only certainty in this is that US will want the blame attached to Iran and Iran will want the blame attached to US (Boeing).
The casualties are victims in more ways than one - victims of the escalation in conflict and victims of the information war.
I think anyone searching for the truth needs to process all claims and counter-claims with a healthy dose of cynicism.
Take a step back, look at the sequence of events, the responses and the coincidences and keep asking yourself why. |

In Western eyes, this puts Iran on the back foot.
"All is well," Trump tweeted after both events - the strike on US bases and the destruction of a Ukraine commercial flight.
Watch his subsequent press conference and his narrative has changed - he wants the focus to move away from the tit for tat to the JCPOA governing the Iranian nuclear programme.
Trump seemed very satisfied with whatever he accomplished in the context of the assassination of the General.
Keep in mind,too, this is not unilateral action by the US - the pact between the US and Israel signed in Dec 17 commits both to working together to counter Iran in 4 key strategic areas.
Neither should the cyber capabilities of all three parties be overlooked. |

Douglas Murray gave a great quote in his new book when he referencing a big tech boss who was gay but had not said the right woke statement, the crazy leftist declared him to be "just having sex with men doesn't make him gay".
What they mean by that is if you disagree with them your clearly not in there group even if your in there group |

Iran has invited Boeing to send a representative to take part in examination of the data and voice recorder.
That may require a waiver from Trump because of the sanctions.

You seemed pretty bitter last week when telling me about the US who shot an Iranian plane down by mistake also many years ago.
Do you think the Iranians will be giving the guy who fired the rocket a ticker tape parade or a prison sentence?.

Ha ha ha ..... logic isn’t a strong point is it .?. It looks like a missile strike. Aviation experts say it’s the most likely explanation; 3 governments have intelligence confirming it, eye witness accounts support it . Iran deny it. US et al produce the intelligence . And Iran will then admit it????. Duh.
Salisbury anyone? We didn’t do it. It wasn’t our poison. These kgb guys were just tourists flying in and out for a couple of days. Let’s see the intelligence so we will just continue to deny it? Duh |

You clearly are more interested in political point scoring than providing the relatives with an explanation why their loved ones are dead.
If the US possesses information about the cause of an air disaster, the right thing to do is to make that information available to the investigation.
Otherwise it just becomes an exercise in propaganda. |

The right thing to do is to preserve the accident area for investigators to examine instead of bulldozing it. The right thing to do is to involve governments of the deceased. The right thing to do is to have the data recorders examined by those who know what they are doing . The right thing to do is to conduct an investigation that is impartial and inclusive . If these internationally accepted norms were adopted then it might be helpful to share sensitive intelligence . But if the data recorders show a missile strike and debris shows a missile strike , there is no need for intelligence to be shared which could compromise US intelligence gathering capabilities . Unfortunately , anyone with a brain knows the data boxes will never have their contents revealed and the debris field will never be independently examined . The Iranians have the capability to explain to the victims relatives what happened but they will choose not to give any explanation |

"Just like flight MH17 nobody will be culpable, nobody will be tried in court.
It’s very sad and shameful.
"
Well, the state commission set up by Ukraine says it will be drawing on evidence from the MH17 investigation (which I think was led by the Netherlands as the origin of the flight).
Officials from the state Commission have visited the crash site and are part of the investigation.
Canada's national transport safety body has accepted an invitation to take part in the investigation. |

The outbound flight landed in Tehran 0105hrs.
The Iran missile launches against US bases were 0130hrs.
Nine departures from Tehran International Airport were scheduled 0400-0500, three between 0500-0600 and four between 0600-0700.
PS752 was scheduled to depart 0515 but delayed by a technical fault until 0600.
I think the airline and the airport have questions to answer about the wisdom of operating flights when Iran has just launched missiles and there is a possibility of US counter-strike. |

The Iranians shot it down probably by accident, somebody wasn't randomly just filming the sky in the early morning and just happened to catch a rocket launch and connect with the aircraft.
The Iranians were aware of the aircraft they didn't realise it was commercial for one reason or another, they were ordered to shoot it down, they filmed it being shot down, they filmed it crashing to the ground.
The Ukrainian shoot down happened the same way, mistaken identity.
The US shot down the Iranian plane in the same way, mistaken identity, shit happens. |

I wondered, too, why anyone would be filming the sky with a mobile phone in the dark at 6am.
Flights were taking off as normal and this one was proceeding as normal.
In any militarized environment, the flight paths of scheduled traffic will be known to those in military control centres.
The transponders will also be "squawking" the civil codes.
So the defence forces must be able to distinguish between scheduled and unidentified projectiles in the air.
This flight, albeit a bit late in taking off, was the 13th or so to depart that morning.
It was ascending on a straight trajectory taking it away from Tehran. |

There is a key difference between this, MH17 and IR655.
In Ukraine and the Gulf, these were rebels and foreign powers operating out with the control of that country's airspace.
The military sky-watchers in this case will be integrated with civilian control of the airspace. |

Russian missile defence systems in both recent cases seem unreliable in distinguishing commercial jets from military jets.
Not a great selling point for future customers. |

Ukraine says it is one of four possibilities being considered by its team in Iran.
Neither is the US making any sort of definitive statement, as if it has proof of what happened.
It's all "could have", "may have" etc.
These things usually take months, sometimes years, to unfold properly. |

Iranian military now conceding it did shoot down the airliner.
I saw Sky News this morning drawing a parallel with IR655 in 1988.
For me, there is a different potential parallel here.
For several days, the country's leadership has been categorically rejecting this.
Presumably, because the military said it was untrue.
Echoes of the Chernobyl disaster.
Gorbachev tells the story how it precipitated the end of communism.
When the leadership realised the system they presided over had been pulling the wool over their eyes about what actually happened.
Someone here has been pulling the wool over the eyes, too.
It will be interesting to see what effect this has in the longer term.
A calamitous mistake that has left dozens of its own citizens dead.
Time for introspection on both sides. |

whilst western countries were claiming that Iran shot it down... they could deny and claim western bias...
the game changer was Bellingcat.....
because they were able to geotag all the footage, they could put out a very clear narrative that could not be disputed...
they put out info the western powers didn't |

I hate to say I told you so but yea I told you so.
Iran has some highly trained troops but in general there not that well trained and when you put sophisticated shit into the hands of not well trained Muppets aiming at stuff 12,000 feet away you get right cock ups, especially in highly charged atmospheres where you've just fired a shit load of missiles into an American airbase hitting God knows what at that point in time.
Generally speaking soldiers of any side don't blow civilians out of the sky for laughs but shit often hits the fan by accident. |

"Yes, it's been a bad week all round for Iran. Their competence on a global stage isn't good."
.
It's not really Iran, it's some fuckwits in charge (not the democratic ones) although to be honest there not great either but it's the spiritual leaders that need booting out, when a country is given governance by "a spiritual leader" you know it's going to end badly, history has proved that which is why the West is best because they learnt that lesson long ago |
