LINK


Wonder why it was on fire? Possibly a missile caused the technical failure?

Extremely horrible for those aboard and their families.


Edit: LINK

Al Hadath making the claim that #Ukraine International Airline #UIA flight number #PS752 B737 that went down in #Tehran #Iran was accidentally shot down by Anti-Aircraft units in the city. Take with a major grain of salt for the time being.

Edit 2: Flight path



Plane was 3 years old



Edit 3: Photos of crash

First photos emerge from site of plane crash near Tehran; there are no indications of survivors





Edit 4: Video from the site

Edit 5: LINK

Speed and altitude graph shows #PS752 transponder stopped six minutes into flight. No erratic flight pattern and no recorded drop in speed or altitude.

If not a transponder failure, whatever happened was sudden and catastrophic.



Edit 6: Video of the crash site that night

That’s not how missiles work. They cause an explosion failure

To my untrained, amateur, eye... it looks like the pilot had some kind of control. At least to the point it wasn't in free fall.

If a it was hit by a missile, I wouldn't expect it to be able to attempt anything close to a gradual descent.

Heat seeker fired by a fighter hitting an engine might do that

That thing was completely on fire. Probably not fully intact on impact.

From the looks of it, I bet they couldn't wait to hit the ground and be dead.

Probably every Ukrainian that had dirt on the Obama Administration was on board.

Not necessarily true my friend. A lot of missiles that are heat seeking will detonate right near the exhaust of an engine, causing catastrophic failure of the engine. Maybe the other engine wasn’t hit, and not too much damage was so instantly done that the pilot had time to at least fight it. It is not all Hollywood massive fireball explosions when it comes to anti aircraft missiles.
