U.S. must be responsible.

The North Koreans did it with their super awesome cyber missiles.

Wanna bet all of the passengers were recently arrested during election protests? Just by coincidence, of course.

Amazing how these otherwise "reliable" planes are "falling apart at the seams" all at once!?

There are a number of Russians embedded in Israel and we know that Israeli have perfected remote control tools for passenger jets.

.. "Soviet-built Tupolev and Antonov planes have long been the mainstays of the civil air fleets in Russia and former Soviet republics. Once considered reliable aircraft, the most widely used models like the Tu-154 have in recent years gone largely unmodified or updated by aircraft designers.

The Soviet collapse resulted in the sharp decline in government funding for aircraft spare parts manufacturers and for the aircraft manufactures themselves, and many airlines fell behind in maintenance programs for the planes.

Iran has about a dozen Soviet-built Tu-154 airliners. In 2006, Russia negotiated the sale of five Tu-204s to Iran.

In February 2006, a Russian-made Tu-154 operated by Iran Airtour, which is affiliated with Iran's national carrier, crashed during landing in Tehran, killing 29 of the 148 people on board. Another Airtour Tupolev crashed in 2002 in the mountains of western Iran, killing all 199 on board.

The crashes have also affected Iran's military. In December 2005, 115 people were killed when a pre-1979 U.S.-made C-130 plane, crashed into a 10-story building near Tehran's Mehrabad airport. In Nov. 2007, a Russian-made Iranian military plane crashed shortly after takeoff killing 36 Revolutionary Guards members."

It could just be a fresh coat of paint on used parts being installed on these planes.

And another one goes down. What's the source for worldwide plane crash statistics? Is this an up year?

BFD. It's allah's will.

Move on

mysterytoy you must be retarded.

Tu154s are great planes but parts are getting hard to come by for these planes. Bad maintance is the cause. You cant make a cable controll flight surface remote controll no matter how good hackers you have.
the nasa 707 test which was remote controlled should be noted it was a slightly updated 720 model not 707 had several thousands pounds of equipment to make it controlled.

Tons of iranian planes are made in america, its impossible for them to get parts for these planes which is why so many crash.

The plane that crashed was 22 years old and seen tons of abuse in its life.
The majority of all serious plane crashes are on old POS planes.

"they bought their tickets, they knew what they were doing, i say... let 'em crash!"

no, no... really: it's a tragedy

I should have suspected as much, but you have some great firsthand data, and obviously know flight mechanics fairly widely. For myself, this is one of those moments when I wonder why engineering hasn't evolved, particularly in nations such as Iran and China where they are have been educating their women equal with men. Perhaps this is a Darwinian telltale, since this particular nigga-filthy-rich oil nation consisting of millions of inventive minds and able bodies can't cobble together enough balls to keep the trains running on time and their planes from dropping ontop of them. It's suspicious.

Off topic, are you familiar with NASA specs regarding the various lunar modules? I'm a conspiracy nutjob who is attempting to figure out how the NASA loop from last night shown the re-docking Apollo 11 LEM Eagle just left from the lunar surface approach the orbiting CSM Columbia module. The Columbia was moving as if articulated by a hidden arm. It's movements appeared mechanically precise. It's not at all what I've seen loads of times from the current shuttle missions in low Earth orbit using micro thrusts and continual adjustments, and I'm not envisioning much difference in either orbits gravity.. So, how could a NASA space vessel designed prior to 1969 appear to stop and whirl on a dime? I'm baffled.

170 dead Iranians is short of what I'd like to see.

If the victims in this crash were all as myopic and deranged as yourself, it might not be a bad thing. Humanity always stands to gain by the loss of people like that, no matter where on the planet they are found.

I hate with passion the Iranian regime but these people killed is still a tragedy.

Crisis

Wouldnt it be ironic if it was a charter flight of people who wanted to get into the guiness book of worlds records as biggest suicide bomb, (the 9/11 passengers dont count because they were not willing participants)and they just missed their target?

Some Southwest Airlines 737 just evolved a sunroof. Bad inspection process, it seems.

Just wonder when amandapajamas gets around to claiming this was all part of newtser's state sponsored terrorism plan.
How do you say jeffndenmark or buffalo Bob in farsi?

"170 dead Iranians is short of what I'd like to see."

Strange how death excites primitive scumbags.

Well its a start.

3 jets come down in a month or so. Coincidence?
