A Ukrainian passenger plane carrying 180 passengers and crew has crashed near Tehran just three minutes after takeoff. The plane had taken off from Imam Khomeini International Airport when it suffered 'technical problems', Iranian State TV reported. Unverified video footage tweeted by the BBC's Iran correspondent appeared to show the plane burning in the sky before crashing in a huge explosion. Flight information shows Ukrainian flight PS752—a Boeing 737-800—taking off at 2.44am UTC (6.14am local time) and reaching a height of 7,925ft before the data abruptly ends. An investigation team was at the site of the crash in southwestern outskirts of Tehran,

Do you think the Iranians will wonder if Trump did it?

I wouldn't trust an airport named Imam Khomeini International.

Just curious. Iranian Air Traffic Controller allowed the commercial plane to take off while the missiles were being fired at U.S. bases? Isn't that KIND of dangerous? I'm just an amateur thinking out loud.

I suspect some trigger happy Iranian shot down the plane.

A suspicious person might be considering the possibility that this was a bomb on the plane. Note the timing, just hours after Iran's sudden and very direct missile attack on US bases.
What might the mullahs have figured Trump would do? What would the Left SAY he would do? Right. Instant strike back.
Now think about this plane full of innocents blowing up, but right in the middle of a US military strike on Iran. It would be used to paint Trump and the US as monsters.
If this is indeed what happened to that plane, it means the mullahs didn't (or couldn't) stop the bombing, when Trump's strike didn't come promptly.
I know this sounds like a stretch, but look at the timing again. Just hours after Iran fires dozens of missiles at US bases, an airliner leaving from Iran, stuffed with people, apparently blows up in mid-air. That doesn't happen very often even in Iran, so it's suspicious.

I would bet that the Iranian national morons had their air defense system wired so tight that it went haywire and the IRANIANS shot down this aircraft.

The “technical problem” was enlisting goat herders as SAM operators.

Oh yeh the fake media says technical problems before there is an investigation??? Does anyone really trust Iran to do a legit investigation. They’re more corrupt than the media.

#6- According to an AP news account, the majority of passengers were Iranian nationals according to Iranian authorities via a Russian state-operated domestic news agency. According to the staff at the Boryspil airport in Kyiv where the flight was headed, “passengers on this flight are usually Iranian students coming back to Ukraine after winter holidays.”

From available video it looked like the aircraft was on fire immediately after taking off, was there a bomb on board or was it shot down?
The timing, right in the middle of an Iranian attack on Iraqi airbases is very suspicious.

Dubal says it was shoot down, I guess someone was using flight tracker and said the air dropped to zero before crash.

Iran owns this one. No technical problems, it was hit by one of Iran's missiles.

Although I feel sorry for the innocent people on the plane, I have to wonder why anyone would find the need to visit such places as Iran, Yemen, or North Korea.
