Yikes! https://www.mail.com/int/news/us/964...-stage-hero1-5

Scary times, I hope you have a safe journey, I've never been on a plane in my life and I cant ever see that changing.

Accidentally??? Accidentally attributed it with an engine problem??? Accidentally rubbished claims of an IRANIAN missile strike ... etc., etc., etc.. ???

Apparently 2 passengers did not board, possibly why the flight was delayed. Who are they and why no boardy?

Yhe plane would not have been shot down accidentally or not if Trump hadnt killed that Iranian general.

How far back do you go tho? Based on his history Soleimani was guilty of many atrocities against other nations as well as his own people.

And like many - I sit and watch Trump “perform” on TV and find myself either laughing out loud or watching open mouthed in a kind of bemused horror that this is the supposed head of the Western World.

But as I say - how far back do we go in the blame game?

Should we lay some of the blame with Tony Blair for going to war in Iraq on highly dubious grounds of non-existent weapons of mass destruction?

Or maybe we should blame the French for giving back a neurotic tyrant and by default allowing a pro-western Shah of Persia to be removed.

I certainly have little time for Trump - but his attacking a regime that is vicious with a known history of incredible human rights violations and then that regime then retaliates - by accident or design - by destroying an “innocent” airliner?

The Middle East is a basket case whose only real export is violence.

Kudos to the good people in Iran for eventually confirming the cause. Maybe the finger on the trigger or control of it was not Iranian? The initial nonsense which followed the event was very akin to the stench which pervaded the MH17 investigation.
