ForsbergTheGreat Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 “Keith Mackey, president of Mackey International, an aviation consulting firm specializing in safety and risk management, suggested that, given the plane's recorded speed and altitude during takeoff, which were normal, and the fact that it landed very close to its last recorded location, the cause was probably not an engine failure. Mackey, a former pilot and aircraft accident investigator, said an engine problem would have made the plane unable to climb that quickly. He added that in the case of an engine fire or similar problem, the pilots would likely have been able to steer the plane and land it safely.“ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but nothing that has been released so far tells me it was an accident as well. Especially since Iran said right away it was an accident. If it happened in Canada sure but around Teheran there are hundreds of AA canons, SAM's, PAD's etc. Right after their top general was killed and they are expecting attack. We will see i guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing couldn’t have been worse, for sure. I certainly hope it wasn’t a calculated hit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 “According to the plane's radar data, the plane took off and climbed normally during the first two minutes of the flight. Then it stopped transmitting data. Cox says that indicates something probably interrupted the power to the transmitters. Typically, he says, when that happens, a second generator will supply power. That does not appear to have happened in this case. He called it "very unusual." Larry Vance, a former pilot and Transportation Safety Board accident investigator, told CBC News Network that losing the signal like that indicates that something "catastrophic" had to have happened. He noted that the plane has "lots of sources and lots of backups" for power.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a plane just catch on fire and crash? A missile would blown up that plane mid air, not just make the plane catch fire. Whatever it was, I doubt it was a missile that brought that thing down. Plane catching on fire looks more like mechanical issues to me, whether its an engine problem or something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 It's all just speculation at this point. I'm sure we'll find out eventually....(at least, we'll find out what they want us to find out ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesnt make sense for Iran to target a civilian jetliner. I mean what would the Iranian regime gain from killing those passengers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldoescobar Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 34 minutes ago, DefCon1 said: You guys are over thinking. This is just a crash due to mechanical issues, its really a coincident. Why would there be missile attacks on a civilian passenger plane? And some people are saying that it was on fire before crashing, so there goes the theory of accidental SAM hit. I sure hope that we are and I do usually subscribe to Occam's razor. I seems a bit fishy and very coincidental, but youre right it is simply speculation at this point and really cant comment until all the information is out there.

However, at this point, all things are possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran has the blackbox and hasnt released any info. Me thinks you are making up that part. Show me the report where it says there was no distress call. I don't appreciate being called a liar but considering the source i will let it slide. Also where did you get the info that Ukrainians do not perform maintenance diligently? Hassan Razaeifar, the head of air crash investigation committee said it appeared the pilot couldn't communicate with air-traffic controllers in Tehran in the last moments https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/01/08/iran-plane-crash-170-passengers-feared-dead-ukraine-boeing-737/#update-20200108-1710 Edited January 8, 2020 by CBH1926 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodes well for WWIII WW3 is the silliest thing to ever be said. There's no WW3 don't worry. It's just two governments trying to get more power in their region. WW3 lol... They shot 15 missiles at the US airbase and killed 3 cockroaches. There wasn't even a kitty or a squirell in sight to be harmed. They're claiming to Iranians that the strikes killed 80 Americans when they didn't hurt a cockroach This is not world War 3. This is propaganda to unite Trumps supporters and unite the guys that support the iranians As for what happened to the plane, we might never know. But jumping to that conclusion makes no sense if u know everything that's been going on. Edited January 8, 2020 by StealthNuck Watch the language.
