What do you bet that we have spy satellite intel of some sort showing the plane being hit. Something more than an engine failure ruptured the fuel tank(s) to cause it to become a flying fireball. There was just too much fuel being dumped/sucked out to attribute the fireball to a broken fuel line or lines. When it hit the ground, it exploded like an aerosol bomb.

I believe it was shot down. Could just as easily have been on purpose as an accident. I'd check the passenger list for any reason for it to have been shot down (or blown up) before I entertained any theories that it might have been caused by a mechanical failure.

(We need a Sherlock Holmes with Magnifying Glass emoji.)

What’s to say we didn’t shoot it down accidentally...just sayin’

Not like we haven’t done that before.

Sir, we do not speculate wildly here. We only speculate about certain things and groups, and then only when it fits our needs and viewpoints. But never wildly.

A declaration that we do not speculate is customary. Or, at a minimum, a statement about withholding judgment is needed.

Any indication or suspicion that this happened? If this was even a REMOTE possibility, don't you think Iran would be screaming this from the rooftops? Again... just as easy to prove with electronic records, satellites, etc. The ONLY reason we are NOT showing the proof we (i.e., our .gov) most assuredly have (in my mind) is that this is something we can use against Iran at a more opportune moment.

Do I believe for a billionth of a second that the US shot this plane down and yet NO ONE in the international community OR IRAN is saying so?

Not a chance.

Oh for sure. I’m not saying we shot it down.

I’m just saying that only assuming the Iranians shot it down is leaving a whole lot of speculation on the table.

Weren't they the only ones launching/firing weaponry around that time? From what I understand, we didn't return fire.

If it walks like a duck... :drunk2:
