That's crazy money, but also understandable, seeing as it's so close to London. 

Good luck  on your retirement and your house hunt, just another  new chapter in your life

Western governments are now claiming that Iran likely shot down the airliner.

I find that much more plausible than the other explanations offered so far.

It was too much of a coincidence imo

The Iranian's are shitting bricks over US air strikes now, either drone style assassinations or similar to what Syria has had a taste of under the Trump administration and Tehran is their heart. I imaging everyone there have been on a knife edge recently. Not to mention they flung a load of ballistic missiles about within hours of it.

Any speculation that it was a US false flag has little credibility in my mind.

A. what does it achieve? It's hardly grounds for invasion or regime change.

B. Tactically, how do they achieve that without the Iranians knowing? To my knowledge the US do not operate in the Caspian, so the nearest area of operation would be Iraq which is like 500km away. The jet was 8000ft up, so not long taken off from Tehran. It's definitely doable for the US, either with a stealth drone with A2A missiles, a team on the ground with SAM or an F22 over the horizon but they're all ballsy as f**k moves for an area that is hot as f**k right now. All the players are watching Iran and the Gulf! To try something like that with minimal payoff.... 

Wouldn't be the first time the US military has accidentally flattened an Iranian airliner of course but that was decades ago. If it happened today it wasn't an accident....
