Update: There were no survivors in the Ukraine International 737-800 which crashed shortly after takeoff from Iran, according to the head of the Iranian Red Crescent’s Relief and Rescue Organization in an appearance on state television. The New York Times, meanwhile, reports that the plane was carrying “at least 170 people,” while Bloomberg puts the number between 167 and 180. The cause of the crash has thus far been reported as a ‘technical problem.’
Four helicopters and 22 ambulances were sent to the crash site, according to Bloomberg.

Raising chilling memories of the downing of MH-17 (false-flag) in Ukraine, the devastating news that a Ukrainian Airlines Boeing 737 passenger jet has crashed following takeoff from Iran is fascinatingly coincidental with tonight’s massive escalation (and rapid de-escalation) in Iraq.
Iranian state TV has confirmed the Ukrainian airplane, carrying 180 passengers and crew, has crashed near Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport in Iran, after suffering technical problems minutes after take-off.
An investigation team was at the site of the crash in southwestern outskirts of Tehran, civil aviation spokesman Reza Jafarzadeh said.
The following clip is circulating social media claiming to be the last few seconds of the flight. Judging by the fireball, “technical” problems would be an understatement…

There is something odd about this though, as FlightRadar24 shows, the plane was gaining altitude at around 8,000 feet when it suddenly disappears…

I doubt very much it was an accident. This was pure out Murder. Not a coincidence in timing
Well sure it was a terrorrists attack or work from someone working or loading the Plane pure and simple because at 8,000 feet it could turn around a go back and land too safely
Not a coincidence. This was murder.
Agree with you 100% Carol. No accident as the black box would give evidence of the murder. That’s why Iran is not going to turn it over.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD HELP THE USA!
The big question is who was aboard that someone wanted assassinated no matter how much collateral damage?
bbbbbbb
I’m sure the media has readied the “It’s Trump’s Fault” battle cry. It’s so typical of their modus operandi.
