RansomthePasserby Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 That’s a heck of a technical issue. If that’s real, there are no survivors. It’s a 737-800, looks like it reached 7,350 ft according to the track log on FlightAware.com https://flightaware.com/live/flight/AUI752/history/20200108/0145Z/OIIE/UKBB/tracklog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see some flaming debris and another explosion before it hits the ground. This looks pretty suspicious. Edit: Actually it looks like its on fire, initially I thought those were just wing lights, but definitely look like its on fire as it goes down. This is of course possible, but again, looks a bit suspicious Edited January 8, 2020 by DCSaints_fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is of course possible, but again, looks a bit suspicious If it was shot down pretty sure the Iranians won't allow a proper investigation. It is not common for planes to be on fire as they go down (happens occasionally - ie Concorde). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 There was a large flare up of fire just before impact. Do pilots have the capability to dump fuel? I wonder if that was a last-ditch effort by the pilots to rid the plane of fuel before the crash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that was a last-ditch effort by the pilots to rid the plane of fuel before the crash. Yes but my understanding is you can't dump it in mass, so I doubt they tried that. During the the Sioux City UA crash incident they made a series of turns in order to dump excess fuel (it took a while).

China Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Iran says it will not give black box from crashed airliner to Boeing Iran’s aviation authority has said it will not hand over flight recorders from the Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737-800 plane that crashed moments after takeoff from Tehran, killing all 176 passengers and crew onboard, either to the aircraft’s manufacturer or US aviation authorities. The statement was issued on Wednesday as the leaders of Ukraine and Canada, from which dozens of citizens died, vowed to identify the cause of the crash amid contradictory statements and swirling speculation. The Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, said: “Our government will continue to work closely with its international partners to ensure that … [the crash] is thoroughly investigated, and that Canadians’ questions are answered.” The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said: “Our priority is to establish the truth and those responsible for this terrible catastrophe.” Ukraine’s foreign minister, Vadym Prystaiko, said there were 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians and 11 Ukrainians on board. The Ukrainian nationals included two passengers and the nine crew. There were also 10 Swedish passengers, four Afghans, three Germans and three British nationals, he said. The developments have fuelled uncertainty over the circumstances of the crash, which occurred hours after Iran had fired a volley of missiles at bases used by US forces in neighbouring Iraq, in retaliation for the assassination of the Iranian general Qassem Suleimani in Baghdad by the US. Speaking after the black box flight recorders were found at the crash site, Abedzadeh said: “We will not give the black boxes to the manufacturer and the Americans. It’s not yet clear which country the black box will go to for the investigation. “This accident will be investigated by Iran’s aviation organisation, but the Ukrainians can also be present during the incident’s investigation.” Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I have no trouble believing it was shot down. But Ukraine pointing fingers at Russia, despite being completely believable, isn't exactly conclusive. (Not sure there's anybody involved in the whole thing that has any credibility at all.)
