re: The plane was NOT shot down!!!

The report I just read said fire and they were heading back to ariport.

Every track of the plane's trajectory shows a u-turn back to the airport before the final crash.

That leads me to believe it was not a missile strike. Seems unlikely that a non-military aircraft carrier would have any controlled maneuverability after an AA missile strike. Would have to be a very luck circumstance, imho.

Now - I would like it to be a missile strike - for any number of reasons = some contradictory with each other but all good.

- Iran command and control very sloppy - and made a big mistake. < most likely reason


- Iran eliminating trouble makers < could be good or bad.

Sure sounds like a missile strike - but I still don't undersand the controllability after the strike.
