  1. Trump has been such a massive failure nobody needs to be a professor to predict the outcome of this election.

  2. The poor suds were awake the plane had just taken off.

  3. No he was right, it’s just that the GOP stole the election.

  4. Mate, the US accidentally dropped four 1 megaton nukes on Spain during the Cold War from a B-52. One of them lost all but one of its safety lockouts on impact, 2 had their HE payloads detonate. Google palomares incident.

  5.  @MathiasHaase  How long have you got? I will give you 1 of dozens of failures. You know the others. Covid - a total failure. How do I know, well 235,000 deaths is how I know.

  6. Charlie B the flight control computers mostly did that.

  7. User Droid the first missile didn’t hit the cockpit that’s why they were able to turn it around. The second missile likely did hit the cockpit, Ukraine investigators were able to get to the crash site where they found fragmentation holes on the underside of the cockpit. It is possible the flight crew tried to get their stricken aircraft to land safely, only to take a second missile into the cockpit just before it crashed, a terrible way to die for all involved.

  8. Well they still have the death penalty in Kansas lets hope justice is served.

  9. Nih Joo switching a transponder off doesn’t break radar lock mate, it just makes you look more suspicious.

  10. Toob247 Toob247 well, they were at less than 6000 ft but I can believe many were lost to cardiac arrest or physical trauma / shock from the expanding missile frag.

  11.  @kme321  I’d agree if there was ever a re-election of a POTUS in history after 4 years of failure.

  12.  @rivvy2138  Not very bright, are you.

  13.  @MathiasHaase  tell that to South Korea and Taiwan.

  14.  @ultramaxpro8537  Too late.

  15.  @rivvy2138  What do you mean "and"? Is that supposed to be satire or do you have cognitive issues?

  16. The fate which awaits Purinton awaits people like you if you want to go the same route ey David. Remember that.

  17. The only language they seem to understand.

  18. IamtheBudz you have to remember there were two missile impacts.

  19. Meadow Apple the TOR doesn’t use heat seeking missiles they are radar command guided.

  20. Someone wants us to go to war.

  21.  @judddavis3548  You were not there, you were in your mother`s basement. Check mate.

  22. roflmatol I believe based on what I’ve seen the Ukraine investigators may have possibly seen the damage caused by the second missile which was impacted in the cockpit area. The first missile did not impact the cockpit which is plausible. The black boxes will reveal what happened because the pilots would be recorded making flight control inputs after the first missile hit. We shall know eventually.

  23. None Applicable ADSB Data was lost at the same time as first missile impact, the chronology matches.

  24. What will they use to pay for them? Pitta Breads?

  25. Pretty sure you can see and hear a missile launch, perhaps there was a local air raid siren? It’s possible.
    1
  26. Echelon111999 no, they are command guided to hit the centre of the radar return not the engine specifically nor are they IR guided. I can’t remember whether or not the M1 has an optical guidance feature.

  27.  @wiseman5039  Such as? First off it was dark, that guy did not react because he did not know what he was seeing most likely. He saw two explosions and a crash, how could he know it was a civilian airliner? For all he knew it could have been a USAF F-15, or an Iranian Air charter flight "do I cheer or do I say nothing"?

  28. Sam Jelveh one of the videos was from CCTV footage, there was no man filming it. The other video, well who is the man? Was he a civilian? Did he hear a launch warning siren? If you watch Israeli Iron Dome launches on YT you hear a siren just before missiles are launched. We really don’t know. Maybe he had some other indication “something was up”.

  29. Harry Jang they have not analysed either the FDR or CVR (black boxes) yet so we don’t know what is on them.
    1
  30. So what about the CCTV footage, do you think that was suspicious too?
    1
  31.  @judddavis3548  Quit lying, ive seen the pictures of the engines, they are very dense and were the only large objects that survived. That aircraft hit the building at over 300 knots with a mass of over 100 tons most of it was vapourised you arent very good at science, like all conspiracy theorists.
    1
  32.  @judddavis3548  Hahahahahahahaha yeah sure. So the pictures of RR engine compressor parts and the other debris field pictures were fake right? Next you are going to tell me how a Cruise Missile can take out street light posts and trees on its way in.
    1
  33. There were, you just haven’t seen the pictures.

  34.  @james-baa1249  most of the time yes, but luck plays its part.

  35.  @DameonJessey  Who are you referencing?
    1
  36. They did, a TOR missile guidance section was found on the ground intact at the crash site, likely from the second missile.
    1
  37. Iran made this announcement, the problem with that particular lie is a cruise missile’s radar signature is about 100 times smaller than that of a civilian airliner depending on target aspect to emitter.
    1
  38. They probs didn’t see actual flames just a shitload of alarms going off it must have been a desperate struggle, then they get hit by another missile.
    1
  39. That video has been around for days and was released at the same time. One appears to be CCTV footage.

  40. BS.
    1
  41. That’s not possible with TOR, somebody has to turn arming keys. It cannot launch on “auto”.
    1
  42. That is correct, radar guided missiles of this type will usually hit centre of mass.

  43. kape yes they have stop lying.

  44. This is a matter for Iran and Canada plus Ukraine and of course the countries which lost nationals.

  45. They were either ordered to engage a track or they were totally inept. I think it was the latter. They were on heightened alert so very nervous since they are a SAM position they would know they are a primary target.
    1
  46. There is no launch code it’s an ancient SAM system not a nuke.

  47. The airlines are just as culpable. They didn’t want to lose any money cancelling flights until they were told to quit flying.

  48. Serge Stodolnik the Vincennes CMS was showing it was not an F-14 but the captain chose to ignore what his ship was telling him.

  49. Ten bucks says the Doc didn’t need to use his model to predict the outcome of this election. Trump is toast because his performance as POTUS has been consistently horrific.

  50.  @shane658  The universe doesn`t always give you what you want, but it gave Matty what he deserved.

  51.  @loymeetsworld  He got it right, what his model did not predict was the Republicans stealing the election via a recount.

  52.  @chaosXP3RT  No, stop making threats you cant carry out.

  53. The shoot down was intentional but the target ID was not.
    1
  54. elvin l. They engaged a target mistakenly, there is no way they would have if they knew it was an airliner. A 737 is a relatively small aircraft, say compared to a 767. For all we know they could have been ordered to engage a track by somebody else up the chain of command.

  55. They weren’t heat seekers. TOR missiles use radar command guidance. When you look at a TOR M1 unit you will see two radars, the smaller one providing the guidance channels, the big one doing volume search.
    1
  56. Maybe because they are two different aircraft that hit the ground at different angles and velocities, had different mass and the ground isn’t the same. Also add flight 93 was intact on impact, this aircraft was not.

  57. Not likely, the safeguards over who controls nuclear weapons release are usually immense.
    1
  58. ADSB was showing a transponder signal right up to the first missile impact. That’s why the signal was lost.

  59. artemis lwof that was another incident you can’t conflate events like that it’s too simplistic. By the way you are wrong about the timing.
    1
  60.  @artemislwof9264  I was paid to be an expert for 22 years. The transponder timing are open source it just takes a bit of research mate.

  61. Yes, but humans can ignore them.
