Video sent to CNN appears to show a missile fired into the Tehran sky early Wednesday morning and striking an object in the sky. Around that time, a Ukranian airliner crashed shortly after takeoff. CNN cannot verify the authenticity of the video, but the buildings seen in it appears similar to ones that are in the Iranian capitol suburb of Parand. The Ukrainian plane crashed just north of the suburb.
The US increasingly believes that Iran mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian airliner on Tuesday, according to multiple US officials. The working theory is based on continuing analysis of data from satellites, radar and electronic data collected routinely by US military and intelligence.
Damn! My heart ๐ hearing pilot’s mum ๐ ๐ ๐
It’s really tragic. I hope she can live a great life in memory of her son. And I wonder if there’s any way for us to help. But these types of things can’t be undone. I hate the fact that passenger planes carrying large amounts of people are targets. All those lives lost so quickly; so vulnerable.
R.I.P. to all those lost and much love and prayers to the families.
@Prove Me Wrong that’s a high five emoji bruh
Very sad. ๐
Ian Luna lmao
@Ian Luna lol no it’s not
@Neha Kakkar Don’t think their Guardian Survival Gear would have saved them.
What do they mean by โIran shot the plane down by mistake?โ Did they think it was a US flight? Or did they mistake the plane to be a missile?
@Jack Reese Its called closing airspace.
If Iran was going to attack us, they were suppose to close down their own airspace, preventing planes in dangerous air.
Wanna know their motive, buddy?
To look strong in front of their brainwashed foolish blinded citizens to fight us.
The people from 9/11 also were mostly iranians(leader was iranian as well), ordered to kamikaze the towers so no one would could trace it back to them.
Government and high ranking military personal know this, but cannot accuse iran due to lack of evidence.
The real leaders of iran arent foolish. They knew back then that they couldnt compete.
Obama gave em legitimacy to rebuild nukes and are now an actual threat to destroy a decent size city.
Smh.
Just send a fucking H bomb to Tehran. Ive had enough of this.
@Devin Poli we don’t send in the Buffs until we’ve cleared out all air defenses. Then we hit them with the big dogs.
That flight was delayed an hour at the gate, so it took off an hour late. Supposedly the Iranian military had a list of all scheduled commercial flights to identify them, but because it was an hour off schedule they thought it was an American fighter plane/bomber attacking in retaliation for their missile strike.
That doesn’t at all excuse them, but it IS a plausible circumstance for it happening. They were all keyed up and got trigger happy, and 176 people were killed because one of their officers got nervous.
Ayan D A itโs automatic and these dumb fucks didnโt operate correctly.
9Th Days Into 2020 , God Bless ๐ World
The Russian made missiles specialized on killing a passenger planes.
Darn right. They sure have a black history
@weilian wang The plane had nothing but civilians America admitted as much and payed millions in damages.
@Olly Olly .. ..most people don’t remember that…people have short attention spans
Aljae what???
@weilian wang Great job making yourself look like a complete idiot. It was a passenger plane filled with innocent people and U.S. admitted that they fckd up. Try doing some research before posting another dumb comment. Clearly you are a right winger and a Trump supporter. .
THEY SAID MAKE SURE YOU DONT HIT ANY AMERICANS–DIDNT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT PLANES
This alway happend in election year I wonder why
To get reelected, obviously. Putin is known for this. They make Americans believe it’s against their best interest to vote in a new President because the old one is more familiar with current matters.
Ivan Castro it happens every year, but nobody pays attention otherwise
@JGirDesu People who don’t support trump now will never support him. People who support trump now will never stop supporting him. I don’t see your point, if Americans don’t like trump they aren’t going to vote for him just because he’s already been president once
Same reason we got heroin problems twice as bad in swing states
I mean iran did provoke us 4 times before Trump blew up their general. Hey dont poke the bear what can I say
Trump: it was flying through a pretty rough neighborhood
All of Iran:๐๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
176 people shot down, god damn every plane is going to be going around Iran lmao
Tommy Sawyer they were leaving tho it shouldnโt be a problem
@Byush m Fair point. feel bad for the canadians. sad situation. worst part, the canadian government wont have the cuts to take some retalitory action.
NaturalGangster , lmao? Seriously?? Have you no shame? Dumb f__k!
@Luke Laugh agreed…what a kook
Iran: “trying to prove to countries they have what it takes”
Also Iran: *Shoots down an Ukranian civilian aircraft in their jurisdiction*
@John Doe It was still their own citizens. It’s disgusting that politics can play such a role in private lives like of that woman whose only son was killed. That’s unbelievable. I can’t even come close to imagining how she feels, but I feel a lot of sympathy for her.
@Chris Ibrahim No, I guess not an Iranian aircraft but the craft was in Iranian jurisdiction.. meaning their responsibility.. the joke still stands.
P.s. Evaluate your own comment before call someone a dummy.
@BDFFRNT oh god you’re hopeless in life
BigLBA1 When was this? TWA?
It is so hard to hear the voice of victimsโ relatives. The voice just broke my heart. …
So I would ask, โwho was on the plane?โ
Iran has 50 people dead and 217 injured in a funeral stampede. Then it shoots down a passenger airplane
killing 85 Iranians and 63 Canadians. Iran is not doing so well.
@Sanuk Jang Lery Yeah, no kidding and I’m actually starting to kind of feel sorry for them.
If America keeps messing with them maybe they will blow themselves up.
@Josh D look up you might see it
@800lb Gorilla what am I looking up? The students from the university of western Ontario, university of Guelph, McMaster university, university of Ottawa the list goes on…
Send Lemon, Cooper and their boyfriends to Iran to see what happened.
Iran: We just possibly started a war with the world’s most powerful countries. What do we do now?
Also Iran: *pisses off France, Canada, the UK, and Ukraine*
Yoshi Dinono no iran killed an american thats what started this why are u ignoring an american contractor was murdered
@Jack Mathis Canada and France actually have some of the strongest militaries in the world. According to Power Index, Canada has the 21st most power military in the world, while France has the 5th most powerful military in the world.
Aljae russia and china together with iran could beat us but also would turn into a nuclear battle so they will most likely sit back
โIranians are not at the level of Americaโ. Yeh, ya think? In every way possible.
They are dipshits and just proved it once again. Dang. How stupid can you be to wack your own jetliner? I can see the solider at the screen going “my Xbox has this button gray-out … let’s give it a try and see what happens.” Sad excuse for humans over there. Must have been playing with his sheep.
I keep hearing the โbenny hillโ theme song as I watch this lol.
This is a global disaster but this comment made me laugh nonetheless
YOU, TOO?!?! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THAT! CNN say it was iran. The gov’t says it was iran. So it was canaduh!
I M Great job showing how bad your mommy and daddy fckd up raising your stupid a$$.
Iran: We are powerful. We can win a war. We will prove it if needed.
Also Iran: *shoots down their own plane*
Not their plane a Ukrainian plane that iranians were on and many others
SirStephen Also 50 die in a funeral stampede and they fire a bunch of rockets at US troops killing zero. Has not been a good week for them.
Iran: help me start a war…
Stand by: with who?
Iran: everyone
Yallah Habbibi
*IFF failed to respond*
Iran: That’s clearly a technical issue.
“It’s was only a mistake guys nothing to see here”
Imagine how would you feel if someone of those who died were family members. WTF
