CBS is reporting that the Ukraine passenger flight carrying 170+ people was shot down by Iran.
Iran claimed that t was “technical difficulties” but then refused to turn over the black box.
Home video of the flight showed the aircraft catching on fire mid-air, as it careened to the earth below. Officials now say that it was not “technical difficulties” and that Iran shot the plane down.

President Trump commented on the crash.
“President Trump on Ukrainian plane crash: “I have my suspicions… It’s a tragic thing when I see that, it’s a tragic thing. But somebody could have made a mistake on the other side.”

The fake news media must be sad. They’ve been rooting for Iran since the whole thing started.
