The US shot down an Iranian plane carrying 290 passengers...what can I say? Sometimes, the intelligence the US receives is flawed.

Considering how the matter was settled, It is possible the US received intelligence that the plane may be hijacked and used to cause harm. Hijacking of planes is a popular modus operandi of radical islamic terrorists

I'm sure if the US had shot down the planes that were hijacked and flown into the world trade center, the outcome of 2001 till date with Iraq and the middle East may be a bit different....mind you, there is proof that the US know those planes would be hijacked...

.your hypocrisy stinks. don't be hypocritical! according to the op, the US like other nations committed grave error which led to death of human lives. don't stylishly try to cover for them with that senseless narrative of yours as history is there to put Americans with their overrated tech amongst the countries that committed these grave errors in the past.

Lol. The way imbeciles throw that word 'hypocritical' around these days....

...."the US like other nations committed grave error which led to the death of human lives"...

Hmmm! Long suffering sigh! I think I will ignore you. There is nothing to be gained in further dignifying your stupidity with a response.

Ukraine: 298 killed
July 17, 2014: Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 is shot down over rebel-held eastern Ukraine en route to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam.

All 298 people on board the Boeing 777 are killed, including 193 Dutch nationals.

The Kyiv authorities and separatist pro-Russian rebels, who are battling for control of eastern Ukraine, accuse each other of firing the missile that hit the flight.

In 2019, Dutch prosecutors named four suspects in the attack, including three members of the Russian armed forces.

Somalia: 11 killed
March 23, 2007: An Ilyushin II-76 cargo aircraft belonging to a Belarusian airline is shot down by a rocket shortly after takeoff from the Somalian capital, Mogadishu, killing 11 people.

The plane was transporting Belarusian engineers and technicians who had travelled to the country to repair another plane hit by a missile two weeks earlier.

Black Sea: 78 killed
October 4, 2001: 78 people, mostly Israelis, were killed when their Russian Sibir Tupolev-154, flying from Tel Aviv to Novosibirsk, exploded in mid-flight over the Black Sea.

The crash happened less than 300 kilometres (186 miles) from the Crimean coast.

A week later Kyiv admitted that the disaster was due to the accidental firing of a Ukrainian missile.

Iran: 290 killed
July 3, 1988: An Airbus A-300 belonging to Iran Air, flying from Bandar Abbas in Iran to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, was shot down in Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf shortly after takeoff by two missiles fired from a frigate, USS Vincennes, patrolling the Strait of Hormuz, apparently mistaking it for a fighter aircraft.

The 290 passengers on board were killed, including 66 children.

The United States paid Iran $101.8m in compensation for the victims following a settlement at the International Court of Justice.

As part of the agreement, the US did not admit legal liability or formally apologise to Iran for the tragedy.

The US later awarded the captain of USS Vincennes, Will C Rogers, the Legion of Merit for his service as a commander.

Sakhalin, Russia: 269 killed
September 1, 1983: A South Korean Boeing 747 of Korean Air was shot down by Soviet fighter jets over the island of Sakhalin, after veering off course.

Some 269 passengers and crew members were killed.

Soviet officials acknowledged five days later that they had shot down the South Korean plane.

Sinai Dessert: 108 killed
February 21, 1973: A Libyan Arab Airline Boeing 727 flying from Tripoli to Cairo was shot down by Israeli fighter jets over the Sinai desert.

All but four of the 112 people on board were killed.

The Israeli air force intervened after the Boeing flew over military facilities in the Sinai, then occupied by Israel.

The Israeli authorities said fighters opened fire when the plane refused to land

People like 'Russia' care less, to them it's collateral damage and sometimes terrorists operate under the guise of civilian planes

IME1:

Can't we just admit already that humans are flawed,

No perfect nation
No perfect government
No perfect system
No perfect leader
No perfect followers

But there's a perfect God, Who when He saw His creation wax in wickedness, was sorry for creating them but still gave the ultimate solution in sending not angels, prophets, priests or servants, but His very Son Jesus Christ to die, and His blood be shed to cleanse mankind of all imperfection.

Let Jesus in your heart, to turn it from pride, doubt, scorn, hardness to soft heart of flesh that it is capable of love, forgiveness, mercy, laughter, support, wisdom

No amount of compensation in money, medals or apologies can bring back one single life from all these planes gunned down by missiles mistaken as enemies, fighter jets or spies.

May perpetual light shine on them and may the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace, may we be spared and shown mercy from all mistaken shots, stray bullets and projectiles, in Jesus name, ameen

Malcolm123:


Thank God you have eye to see
Then go and read about Soviet invasion of Afghanistan....and how USA invited the Taliban to Whitehouse uunder president Reagan on strategy to defeat USSR ....

The problem created for them by the non middle East invaders

if only you took time to read, they mistaken an Air bus large plane for a fighter jet that was their reason and not any hijacked plane roaster

Befii:
Thanks for bringing this thread. To you who think that Iran bombed down d plane intentionally or due to lack of technical know, now u can see dat US had once bombed down an Iranian passenger plane with even more civilians on board, as many as 200+. They said it was a mistake, so do i say they lacked the technical know that they couldn't identify a passenger plane from a military jet fighter, i simply understand human error is a reality. And Israel also shot down an Egyptian war plane for the same reason Iran shot down the plane, and as usual, it's a mistake. If u want to blame someone, blame Trump cause his poor decision got us here. Most countries and people who thought Trump did well by authorizing the killing of Iranian general should hv their regret now as their citizens, relatives and loved ones are victims of this drama. Lesson is: War neither favours the mighty nor the weak, it destroys all, guilty or innocent. Trump should make peace with Iran cause miscalculation like this pose grave harm to unintended civilian target.
