The trigger happy fools probably mistook it for a US fighter and shot it down before they realised their mistake.

Yet another example of their extreme incompetence.

It is literally impossible for anyone to mistake a fighter jet for a commercial airline, let alone shoot it down


Do some research


F35 fighter jets or ìta series can't be shot down from regular missile, so why bother?

ensamy:
I wish it was Nigerian Airlines carrying all our politicians.
Nigeria could have been celebrating ........

LOL it will end in tears


Literally every mumu that has money will try to take over the country

Then army will try to grab the opportunity

Then there'll be finger pointing


It'll probably cause a civil war (which would compel army to take over 2x)


But again its literally impossible to have all our politicians / rulers in one plane

kenostika:
NY TIMES have released the video of the plane being hit by Iran missile https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/09/video/iran-plane-missile.html

So who was filming the video of the missile streaking towards the plane and gave it to the NY TIMES, that looks suspicious to me. This could be a case of giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it.

OAUTemitayo:
Fake news

pls tell us the truth news

Mouthgag:
E no go better for USA


Just because they refused to hand over the blackbox to Boeing (A USA COMPANY)

We would Iran do that in the first place


How will any sensible Humanbeing hand over evidence that could be used against you to your sworn enemy.

Meaning? Abeg US correct

Olodo, the black box will first be handed over to Ukraine since they own the Plane. After which Boeing and International bodies carry out their investigations. ( Boeing alone don't conduct investigation on black boxes.....lol

The video looks dodgy. Shows an object that looks like a plane or rocket climbing fast into the sky, then a sudden bright light. The fast flying object immediately began flying back slowly in the opposite direction after the bright light.

1. Was the plane not suppose to disintegrate on impact?
2. A fast moving object just suddenly exploded in the darkness like a firework. If we assume the fast flying object is the rocket, we are also meant to see a flashing tail light of a passenger plane which was absent in the video.
3. Video was also recorded by someone with shaky hands. Was the person shooting the video of a flying plane at night amd expecting something to go wrong.

The media is going to cash in on this incident as much as they can.
Even Nairaland is cashing in on it.

International aviation law makes iran the chief judge in this case.
I do not believe that it was a shoot down by iran..
This is cheap american blackmail. One if the things iran avoided by not giving the black box to America.

The sad thing is that many of you think Suleman is a terrorist.. go and read what the iRaqi pm (am american stooge) has to say about why sulemani was in Iraq.

Racoon:
I could be a possibility otherwise, why is Iranian authorities quick to say they will not give the plane's black box to Boeing? Why not allow the Ukrainian government to make the statement since the ill-fated airliner belongs to it?

Sunofgod:
Mad Mullahs.....that's why they're hiding the black boxes.

They are guilty.......all because one of your senior terrorist was killed?

How many americans were on that plane?

Fools....

Well, the USA mistakenly shot down an Iranian airliner in 1988 killing everyone. So no fingerpointing.

leye4u:
how would canadians be Americans....lol

is somebody from Austria not an Australian

They saw the plane and taught is was a missile fired by America in retaliation to their earlier missile attack. Thus they brought down the plane.

It is possible if you have incompetent nervous nincompoops manning the air defence systems, and F35s are not the only fighters used by the US. It could also have been mistaken for a military transport plane etc. Even Canada has joined the others in accepting this.

its possible war situations are fluid and tense, the operator is not looking at the sky for what he or she is shooting at. its a computer screen miles away from the airport. in the screen the aircraft is just a heat signature.
and surface to air missile are program to seek heat.

It wasn't a mistake, they knew the identity of the people that boarded that plane from he airport authorities, they just decided to sacrifice their people because of a few perceived enemies inside the plane. Foolish people.

Even though there were 63 Canadians on that plane, this is how much we Canadians believe our brothers south of the border

I love this. Look how people with sense are stating the fact, while we rush to believe the US simply because they're the US

You guys should talk with sense. So you really believe Iran will mistake a passenger aircraft for a military jet? A country that hacked a US drone in the air and commandeered it to land where they wanted it to, you believe they don't have equipment to identify an aircraft? Is that what you believe?
You accepted the nonsense the US is saying simply it's because it's the US that said it. Use ya head

Fact. I suspect the US has a hand in the downing of that aircraft. It's not the first time they'll do something like this just to gain public sympathy. It's appalling how most people on this forum believed that it was downed by Iran simply because the US said so. Foolishness of the highest order

PerfectlyPerfect:

Either that or they shot it down deliberately. It is not only the US that is saying it.

Canada is an American stooge. You don't expect them to say something different, do you? Seriously, this is just common sense. Even Nigeria has all it takes to identify aircraft. There's NO WAY Iran will make that mistake. Also, it's against the UN charter to deliberately attack civilians (though the US severally violates this). I believe the US has a hand in this

Simple civilian radar systems (though illegal in most countries) can identify civilian from military aircraft. More advanced systems can identify a flick of flying birds from a drone. Don't believe this cheap blackmail.

ABCthings:
Must you drag Trump to this?

The truth is U.S started the bloodshed. The general should be arrested and made the world know what was his offence before the American military action against him.

Rank speculation not common sense. Iran is very capable of making that mistake. Ukrainian rebels made the same mistake with MH17 using the same type of Russian detection tech. The US made the same mistake with an Iranian airliner in the 1980s.

And Canada is not a stooge of the US. Your grasp of foreign affairs is very childish and simplistic.

In any case, Iran has shown by its own actions that it is guilty. Its officials stated that they will not submit the black boxes to Boeing (which would be normal procedure). They 'discovered' the cause of the crash within 24 hours (a process that sometimes takes months). Videos show that the plane was on fire. The US (and now Canada's) suspicion is very valid.

Empiree:
why then you favorably quoted them?. Nigerians, you are dumb people. Believe their trash at your expense

Ur a cow that needs sense.
What has quoting them got to do with it?
If u know CNN well u will know that news that don't favour them well are usually the truth.
And this news doesn't favour them cos they were desperately trying to put the blame on trump.

Austrian, not Australian.
The context under discussion is USA, not America in terms of Continent.
