RUPERTKBD Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Canada is asking to be part of the crash investigation: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/canada-pushing-tehran-for-direct-access-on-iran-plane-crash-trudeau-says/ar-BBYKsdu?li=AAggNb9 Quote Canada is pushing to be part of the Iranian-led investigation of the plane crash near Tehran that killed everyone on board, including 138 people bound for Canada, says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Gaining access could prove challenging because Canada broke diplomatic relations with Iran in 2012, shuttering its Tehran embassy and expelling its diplomats. Trudeau said Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne was to speak with his Iranian counterpart, Javad Zarif, to stress the need for a thorough investigation into the crash — one that included Canada. The Transportation Safety Board has also assigned an expert to monitor the progress of the Iranian investigation, but it is unclear whether that investigator will benefit from first-hand Iranian information or be forced to rely on other countries. In addition to Champagne's direct appeal to Tehran, Canada is also relying on allies such as Italy, Britain, France and Ukraine to ensure a thorough investigation of the crash, the prime minister said. "I am confident that we are going to be able to be part of the investigation. That is certainly something that we take very seriously," Trudeau told a Parliament Hill news conference. "We are going to make sure that we are a substantive contributor to this investigation." The Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737-800, bound for Kyiv, crashed shortly after taking off from the Iranian capital early Wednesday local time, killing all 176 people on board, including at least 63 Canadians. Hopefully, these efforts are successful. As a country, we owe it to the relatives of the victims to know how/why they died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, for all the garbage news bravado about how Iran isn't giving up the box to Boeing...that's not what usually happens after a crash. The investigation is done by a third-party agency. Canada 100% should be involved in that third-party given the death toll of Canadians on board. Along with it not being usual protocol, there's no way Iran is going to give it to a US company, since they don't trust them at all (why would they). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has happened in the past. In 1988, a US missile shot down a Iran passenger plane. 290 people died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how it is jumping to conclusions. I just find it a bit suspicious that they wont release the findings of what data is held inside the black boxes. If it was truly a mechanical failure they would want to broadcast that to the world. EDIT: Did not see the above new before my post.. timely.

PhillipBlunt Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 'The US increasingly believes that Iran mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian airliner on Wednesday, according to multiple US officials. The working theory is based on continuing analysis of data from satellites, radar and electronic data collected routinely by US military and intelligence." The working theory.... I wouldn't put it past the US military and their officials to falsify reports to deflect blame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of this, there is a good chance that we will indeed find out that the plane was shot down given the circumstances. Just gonna wait for the black box report that'll hopefully come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Still no evidence to back up this claim. the earlier story on CNN was based on the fact that Ukraine was investigating a missile strike as one of the possible causes for the crash.....now BBC reports that "US media" believes it was a missile strike and all of a sudden, it's "fact". It's not. It may turn out that Iran shot down it's own plane, mistakenly believing it was under attack, but as it sits right now, we know exactly as much as we did yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
