and now we know the long game on MCAS.

[Telegraph_it 3357]

This looks like the flight. It was a three year old 738.
 

[Bill Brasky 1443]

does this mean that Ann Magret is not coming?

“Technical difficulties” 

 

we’ll see how this plays 

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Same thing would happen to their F14s if they tried engaging. 

[ClubWhatever 12131]

That one is going to be tough to investigate

[StruggleBus 3922]

Iran’s a fucking dramas queen, man. 

[KaiserSoze 998]

Ukranian Airlines according to CNN

[Judge Roybeanbag 11819]

Damn Russians.

[Lat22 4010]

There’s a purported video on twitter. It’s dark and you can’t even tell it’s a plane, but something in the air is on fire as it falls towards the ground. It explodes on impact. 
 

and there it is.

Suspicious intel from the intel crab

[Celery Man 20934]

of all the days where getting the fuck out of Iran was the thing that killed you

[Guest Lobo]

So then Iran says, "Oh yeah...we'll recall the 737-Max 8" 

[Bevo Num1 1011]

The plane just crashed, but they knew it was due to technical problems? Seems legit.

I guess it being on fire in the air is a technical problem, though.

[Anastasis 23469]

737’s be Ukrainian from the skies these days.

I mean it could be legit. Or not. If that video was of the plane crashing then it definitely seemed to be on fire. 

[Anastasis 23469]

Plane was on fire. Guy had his camera out. Something went down to cause that guy to start filming.

such as seeing a fireball moving across the sky?

 

uncontrolled fan blade failure?  think there are problems for that with the 800s

[B00M 6415]

They really want all their military installations leveled? China and Russia must be promising a lot

That could probably do it. How audible would something like that be from distance?

[cabowabo 4484]

Dems will blame Trump for this.

I know this is beside the point but I really hate that news outlets distribute stuff that's unconfirmed. Especially in situations like this. And I understand why they feel they have to (sometimes) but it just muddies everything up. Anyway. I'm going to go read the dog thread now and try not to think about all this.

you can't take credit for no aviation accidents and then expect not to take blame.

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

People blamed bush for Katrina. Not the response, but the actual storm.  People act stupidly. 

[Captainant 27655]

Those damn undertrained pilots again. If only they had basic airmanship /s

 

Early reporting looks like Iranian air defense has an itchy trigger finger

No. Don't start that nonsense.

[elfenix 34231]

NTSB didn't think it was nonsense and neither did boeing when it committed to redesigning the cowling. 

or do you mean speculation as to the cause of this particular incident?  this is the internet, sir.  it's what we do here.

Uncontained engine failures on 737s usually don't render the aircraft completely uncontrollable.

Freaked out newb AAA soldier: One fired, Sir!
