    They already announced that on day 1, just hours after the accident. But that news has been replaced now by it's damaged but not unreadable

        Watched the missile video a few times now - have to say, it's one of the slowest missiles I've ever seen, even in slow motion.

          Based on what? What were the respective angles with regards to camera, aircraft and missile?

          I seriously hope your clients hire you for your comedic value because you're **** all use for anything else!

              I'd be hard pressed to make a judgement vs, for example, this video:

              But then I haven't quite got the same weird urge to be humiliated on the Internet in front of my own self proclaimed credentials.

                I've learnt so much from my mistakes I'm thinking of making a few more.

                  Saw on the BBC news tonight that they have been clearing the crash site. Hardly the right action from a state that wants a proper investigation.

                      Seems like the cretinous incredulous reactions that it could be Iran can rest.
