The aircraft apparently went in for maintenance on Monday.
I don't think it's crazy to think this was a result of a maintenance issue.
Maybe. But I think it's far more likely it was shot down.

Maybe maybe someone malicious tried to make this one look like a boeing accident hoping to piss off Ukraine in conjuction with the impeachment proceedings.

Here is the passenger list:

Surname, Name, Year of Birth


Exactly, likely all the Canadians were dual citizens.

Ukrainian investigators have indicated that a Boeing 737-800 which crashed shortly after departing Tehran had suffered an in-flight fire.

The Ukrainian investigation authority NBAAI says the preliminary information has been obtained from “media sources”.

It has not identified these sources, although an undated segment of video footage – which has not been officially authenticated – has been circulating on social media purporting to show the aircraft apparently ablaze and shedding parts while flying in darkness.

I still don't understand why Iran would shoot down a Ukrainian plane with close to 100 Iranians...

I would suspect that if shot down it might've been a mistake.

Who said it wasn't a mistake? That's why they said within the hour it was "mechanical"

I'm responding to all that don't think it was in mechanical issue.

Probably mistook it for something else.

More likely they mistook it for another plane.


My best guess.

My best guess.
Gotta be extremely incompetent for that. It was practically in the airport, could probably see the airplanes logo with binoculars. A casual check on the flight tracking websites would work as well.

Not to mention all the advanced equipment a  military should have.

I know about that. (One of the things I like to  go through in my spare time is this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_involving_commercial_aircraft?wprov=sfla1)

I'm not saying impossible, just saying extremely incompetent. Also, there are some clear differences between these two cases, even as far as the limited info available now.

At this point some kind of mistake seems to be the most logical explanation.

Is there anyone that gains from this? (Probably Putin?)

As for the revenge angle, (IR655 or not) I don't see how shooting down a Ukrainian plane full of Iranians does the job.
