Per CNN: Emergency crews have been dispatched to the crash site but cannot assist because the area is currently ablaze, Koulivand said on IRINN, a state-run media outlet. Edit: your edit beat me to it Most passengers on board the Ukraine International Airlines flight died, said Pirhossein Koulivand, head of Iran's Emegency Medical Services.
I have seen a video showing a constantly glowing (read: burning) plane descending, with burning pieces flying off, and then the plane reaches the ground and explodes. I won't link to it. Boeing 737s have had some technical/software issues, and although the problems do happen shortly after takeoff, they do not include blowing up while in the air. Edit: no, nope, it happens, but it's been a while. :(
We’ve seen the same video. Wish I hadn’t watched it. Also saw a preliminary report via The Jerusalem Post indicating US casualties in Erbil but not seeing that claim repeated anywhere else yet. Man oh man if 2020 isn’t going to be an anxiety ridden year... Edit: also the boing wasn’t a MAX even so...
Right, it was a 737-800. These things can happen, but yeah, it's gonna be a fuckin' nuts Wednesday. Try to get some sleep, amigo. Or work out, Netflix, take a night walk, if you can. We're gonna be alright.
I'm pretty goddamn sick and it's raining out so a walk is a no-go :( Comparing 50 mile training plans since that's a thing I'm doing in 5 months I guess. And watching You, since that seems like the hip show right now. It's okay.
