All 176 civilians aboard the Boeing 737 that took off on a Ukrainian flight from Tehran perished after the aircraft was struck by one of the missiles launched by Iran in the direction of U.S. military bases in Iraq. The earliest reports suggest that the missile hit on the plan was an error on the part of Iran.
Aviation security expert Mike Boyd joined Tucker and explained that there is no evidence suggesting the plane crashed due to mechanical error. Rather, the tragic incident has all the earmarks of a missile hit. Boyd went on to say that the catastrophe is part and parcel of Iranian technical incompetence over a wide swathe of time.
For Boyd, the authorities in Iran will likely lie about the cause of the downed plane. In fact, Iran has been lying for years about a myriad of issues. The United States may have dodged a bullet, as war seems less imminent after the Iranians got the missile strike "out of their system." But the cost was heavy for the civilians who perished in the destruction of the Boeing 737.
