USA have done it.
Russia have done it.
Now Iran has done it.
If it wasn’t a realistic danger then the airspace over Crimea would still be open and no airlines would be giving Iran a miss a miss at the moment (though many are).
Absolutely an utter tragedy and I was talking to my wife about this today and telling her that she must remember the amount of fucking idiots that exist on this planet in every walk of life.Agree but had Iran thought they where about to be attacked by airstrikes, bombers they would have shut their airspace down.
They didn't, they let a commercial flight take off and then some twat with an itchy trigger finger has shot it down.
An utter tragedy.
Or even if they have!And the US shouldn't be briefing Fox News that they have sent 6 B52 bombers over to Iran if they haven't.

One of them has killed 180 people but unlike some, I don’t think makes a war more likely. I think the exact opposite. They’ve fucked UK. Know they’ve fucked up and they’ll want to move on as fast as possible.
Ok, fine. It doesn't matter in the context of this thread and I'm not even going to comment further as it's really scummy to try and twist this. Iran has control over their own air port, own airspace and own missile systems - it's a pretty catastrophic failure on their part that they have shot down a civillian plane - if blaming Trump for Iran shooting down a plane taking off from their airport, flying in their own airspace with their own missile makes you sleep better tonight then fair play.Bullshit. That’s not the excuse Trump is giving to assassinate him (as it’s not a legal one).
Or even if they have!
I can think of nothing worse than being alive as the plane breaks up around you.Agree.
All sides have backed down and are looking for the exit door as quickly as possible.
RIP those poor fuckers on that flight though.
If creating straw men to argue against is your thing, you may as well continue. It’s pretty pointless though as you’ll not be able to find a post of mine saying that.Ok, fine.

on the Lockerbie anniversary I read a ‘long read’ in the papers about it and from witnesses on the ground. One poor fucker was found having clutched grass in his hand after hitting the floor in his seat before dying. Slept badly thinking about it that night and will probably do so again. Awful stuff.
