A 737 malfunctioning and inadvertently setting off WW3 is very on-brand for Boeing right now.

  Except the airplane was riddled with holes indicative of air defense guns shooting the airplane down.

    Could be a malfunctioning IFF.

    Many of the "holes" that were "obvious" in the low-res photos have been shown by better photos to be rocks & pebbles (kicked up by the impact) landing on wreckage. As suspicious as it seems given the political context, there's no proof the crash involves foul play of any sort.

      tbh given the rarity of 737NGs plunging to the ground [on fire, if low quality social media videos are to be believed] shortly after takeoff, the ADS-B signal ceasing whilst the aircraft was still on course and wreckage being spread over a wide area which aren't the usual results of engine failure or improbably poor piloting, and the context of the aircraft flying later than scheduled past military forces on high alert, I think some sort of foul play or military misjudgement is the null hypothesis to be ruled out...

      Why not watch the video? Was that not 'proof' enough for you to type this comment ?
