tragedy sure....but one that could have 10000000% been avoided.

I mean...I would think he wants to use a bit of caution and let all the facts come out before slinging around words like "terrorism" and "act of war", right?

I must've missed the moment in the history of the English language when tragedy and accident became synonyms

I'm outside and heard a jet. Looked up and it's clear to see its a commercial airliner 30,000 ft. in the air with my own eyes.

How do we know this. We don't even know our own technology and communication, let alone what the unknown shooter has!!

I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist but with today's technology, I'm just not buying that a commercial airline was mistaken for a military plane.


And this is based on what exactly?

Seriously. What fundamentally has changed?



Preventable, sure.


But your statement is asinine when you consider that not only do some military planes resemble airliners, some military planes literally are airliner frames with internal modifications.

So what *waves hand mysteriously* technology makes it impossible to buy that an airliner can never be mistaken for a military craft period?

Hell, how sophisticated are the field radars of a mobile SAM anyway? On a RUSSIAN field unit no less

The US passenger plane shot down by Russia in the 80's was followed by a Russian fighter plane for 30 minutes and word came from Moscow to shoot it down. It was no accident!

To be fair the passenger plane pilot was off course and had strayed into Russian airspace, but there was no need to shoot it down.

This too.

If you don't know anything about the military and, especially other military equipment you shouldn't be so condemning yet.

My post wasnt talking about the 80s.

It was talking about today.


It it wasn't about someone slipping and accidentally pressing a button, but about misidentification

Why should we be the world law enforcers? We are past broke and have our own interests to deal with.

Flew over this general area last August and over Pakistan and Afghanistan and knew none had the weapon capabilities to do anything, but thought about it. Scary if those types of groups get more of this type of weapon system.
