Plus ALL of the wreckage was hauled away. Hmmm
And, even Trudeau is saying the Iranians did it. And we know how much he LOVES him some Trump! Or not.
Plus, I figured that's probably what happened (no, I'm not a genius, I just play one on the internet). It's really the only thing that made sense:
1. Right after the missile barrage
2. Iran would be expecting a counterattack
3. Relatively new aircraft (4 years old), mechanical trouble possible, but not
likely
4. Reasonably well run airline (supposedly)
5. Iran immediately said "mechanical trouble"
6. Black boxes recovered right away, but determined to be "damaged" within
hours
7. Iran refuses to let any other nation/agency to perform a meaningful inspection
8. Reports of missile parts in the debris
9. No distress call from the cockpit, even though the plane was 8k feet high
and the crew would have had enough time, unless incapacitated. IF a
mechanical problem, wouldn't they call and say "engine failure" or whatever?
