Usually in plane crashes you can see the altitude and speed graph all the way to the ground. It either must have been very quick, or shut off intentionally. Doesn’t look good. Very likely this was accidentally shot down by an Iranian missile.Update:Video circulating shows the plane on fire falling down. Fireballs like that do not happen to an aircraft.... except in absolutely-extreme-extraordinary mechanical failures. For instance, an engine not just failing, but exploding, and then ripping the wing of or exposing the tanks to the atmosphere. With today's maintenance standards, catastrophic events like a mid air explosion do not happen.<a href="https://twitter.com/BahmanKalbasi/status/1214759246795100161" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/BahmanKalbasi/status/1214759246795100161</a></blockquote>
