Do you think it's a coincidence?

"AN EARTHQUAKE has struck near the Bushehr nuclear power plant on a crucial day for Iran which has seen tensions in the Middle East erupt.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said the earthquake struck 10km southeast of Borazjan in Iran with a magnitude of 4.9. The quake also struck at a depth of 10km."

A passenger plane carrying 176 people bound for the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, has crashed a few minutes after taking off from Tehran’s main international airport.

Iran’s Red Crescent has said there was no chance of finding survivors, and Pir Hossein Kulivand, an Iranian emergency official, later told state TV all those on board were killed in the crash.

Ukraine’s foreign minister, Vadym Prystaiko, said in a statement that those on board the plane included 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Germans and three Britons. “We express our condolences. The Ukrainian authorities continue to investigate,” Prystaiko said.

“The plane crashed five minutes after taking off,” said civil aviation spokesman Reza Jafarzadeh. “The pilot had no contact with the tower and didn’t announce an emergency situation before the crash.”

Iran will not hand over the black box from the plane. Considering how “friendly” our president has been with Ukraine lately..

There are no coincidences.

And again you miss the big picture.. this indicates they shot it down. Which indicates they aren’t “done” as they and trump are claiming but will be continuing to retaliate through unofficial channels which are harder to defend against and will still lead to the same thing. More deaths and more waste of money.

Or maybe they have bad aim? Who flies a plane over an unstable country anyway?

Bad aim? They warned Iraq prior to hitting the trigger.

It was leaving Iran’s airport. You are such a troll and I must be ridiculously bored or a masochist for even bothering to engage with you.

Not a troll, just didn’t remember it was leaving their airport...probably should have cancelled the flight out.

Because the United States has some issue the rest of the world should cease engaging in their business?

It doesn’t seem like the best time to get on a plane, that’s for sure...

And whose fault is that Lisa?
I think I would have passed on getting on..but then again maybe they thought they’d leave that country and get away from the tensions. Seems kind of iffy.

Well, if they were in Iran, and going to Kiev, it's likely they had no idea anyone would be targeting them. The hostilities are between US and Iran, not Ukraine or any of the nations which the passengers were from. Accoring to the reports, there wasn't a single American on it. So why shoot it down if your trying to make a point in a beef with the US? Was it a mistake? I guarantee that it's going to strain relations between Iran and the countries whose citizens died. They sure as sh*t didn't do themselves any favors.
