Just seen that Iran is quoted as saying they wont be handing the black box over! Why wouldn't they do this unless they have something to hide and surely this will provide more flames to the fire so to speak.
Getting out of the country, as advised?
It's not like they knew when Iran was going to be flinging missiles about
Yup, that's what I'm thinking too. Iran fires a load of missiles at US bases. They then expect a possible retaliation and when a large blip appears on their radar they assume it's a US military aircraft such as an AWACS and decide to take it down.
And according to The Guardian's live blog; The Ukrainian government has deleted a tweet saying the plane’s crash was the result of an accident.Just seen that Iran is quoted as saying they wont be handing the black box over!

Wonder if Trump/America will use this as a reason to hit Iran's Nuclear facilities. Hope not as it will probably start a full on war.
Trumps threat to hit 52 targets for any retaliatory attacks is worrying.
This all has the potential to make Iran look very silly indeed, essentially it launched a bunch of missiles at US airbases, caused literally no damage and zero casualties, whilst in the process somehow shooting down a Ukrainian passenger jet full of innocent people, most of whom were Iranians...
Doesn't exactly sound like a great day at the office for Iran..

Didnt it go down a few hours after the missiles had been launched ?

6:36 pm EST missile attack from Iran
8:33 pm EST FAA bans all civilian flights over Iran, Iraq, the Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman "due to heightened military activities" and the "potential for miscalculation or mis-identification"
10:44 pm EST A Ukrainian passenger plane carrying 180 people crashes near a Tehran airport shortly after takeoff
4 hours after the attack, i certainly wouldnt have boarded the plane

Did the Yanks even need to warm up their Patriot systems or did all the Iranian missiles not get near any US targets?
I'd assume that the Iranian missiles almost certainly failed to do anything other than be asymbolicShambolic response.
