That was equipment failure rather than people cutting corners and doing something dumb. Plus it wasn't a full meltdown and they didn't try to cover it up, while knowingly sending workers to their deaths, like the USSR did with Chernobyl.
Anyone have more news on this ?Boris Johnson has said 'a body of information' suggests the Tehran airliner tragedy was caused by an Iranian surface to air missile and 'may well have been unintentional'. More follows ...
indeed its been wall to wall reminder on social medias nemesis.Blimey a lot of people need to educate themselves on flight 655
The timing of the plane going down does seem highly suspicious, but then again many of the people on the plane were Iranians or other nationalities, but of Iranian descent. In which case why do it?
Either way this whole episode seems like a success for Trump: reestablished deterrence against Iran and others; moved EU countries away from JCPOA; shifted news agenda off impeachment; given the Pres a big foreign policy victory; no US casualties. Can’t hurt re-election.
Cant really see what they would get out of shooting that plane down, yeah one filled with yanks fine... but this one?
Dodgy plan shooting it down to promote regime change as well, so many things could go wrong with that and if they do then they are really up a creak without a paddle.
Perhaps they didn't have time to go through the passenger manifest?Cant really see what they would get out of shooting that plane down, yeah one filled with yanks fine... but this one?

they are encouraged to do anything to make the regime look incompetent or in conflict with other countries, etc. etc. (though mostly they seem to just rant on twitter probably from the safety of their homes in New Jersey, etc.).
Big win for trump in the end.
Why on earth did Iran think it was anything other than a civilian jet? Their military is completely inept.
