End The Fed

[pcandlve]

omg i just found why aemricans are animals . do they reserve to live ?

[justgold76]

No mention the Iraninan boats were being buzzed in their own territorial waters by the Americans,No mention in the International courts that the helicopter was shot at although it would have been a legitimated as it too was in Iranian airspace.disgusted by this one sided view by National Geographic.it was another blatant American war crime and to this day America refuses to apologize to the Iranian people.

[elr456]

No wonder the rest of the world hates us.

[CokeAndPizzaplz]

americans are retarded what were they doing in the gulf its not there property they think they own the whole world

[Kanakattaka]

MULTIKILL america fuck ya

[127ahmed]

get out of Bahrain u filthy people

[wkasea]

@bollocks2who

May I remind you of Korean Air 007 which was shot down by the Soviets because the plane accidentally flew into Soviet airspace and was misidentified. Just because the people who pushed the buttons are Americans doesn't mean this was a bigger tragedy.

[wkasea]

@bollocks2you

May I remind you of Korean Air 007 which the Soviets shot down because they misidentified it. This sort of thing can happen but don't try to say that because they are American means that this was a worse tragedy.

[127ahmed]

@wkasea

listen what made it worse that they were awarded medals when they returned instead of imprisoning them and why is there an american ship in the gulf region?

[127ahmed]

@wkasea that's different Korean air was in soviets air space and here the ship was in Iranian waters and what the heck is an american ship is doing in the gulf.

[atomcrush]

As an American, i'm both saddened and outraged by this event.  I don't doubt that some confusing information might have been received by the Aegis ship, but my God - the thing was a billion dollar supership capable of tracking 100 attacks and they got confused by ONE commercial airliner? The commander was too eager and aggressive and I hope his orders haunt him to this day. I love my country, but I disagree with Bush's refusal to apologize. We should have formally apologized for this tragedy

[fraroc]

Even as an American, 1988 was the prime example of "What comes around goes around" We shot down flight 655 in July, didn't apologize and as a result, they blew up Pan Am 103 in December.

[Paperyostrich]

@fraroc Just so you know Pan Am flight 103 was blown up by the Libyans, not the Iranians

[homoignobilis]

I was radarman in a CIC. The U.S. screwed the pooch from the water line up. It failed to verify and ID, it did not use proper charts, it knew it was in Iranian waters, it initiated hostile fire without VID or EID., it fired on unknown aircraft, its crew was not ready or had ever been in the fog of war and its captain became deluded into thinking he had his situation under control which he didn't. Operation Ajax and now this. Any wonder they hate us? We've never apologized. WTF?

[arbaz1221]

The biggest terrorists in the world = THE AMERICANS.

[strongbadassman]

Maybe they thought the civilian plane was hijacked by terrorist trained to dive bomb an aircraft carrier.

[bollocks2who]

@strongbadassman Even if the plane was hijacked by terrorist, the U.S had no right to shoot it down because that ship was in Iranian waters. In other words, we had no business being there in the first place!

Look people, Do NOT! harass, threten, or ATTACK ANY civialian shiping (in any waters) passing through an area bulk cargo or oil/Nat. gas. Their were too many thing going on in those waters at that time and ANY number of mistakes could develop. DO NOT! repeat DO NOT speak belligerently about ANY nation untill YOU have checked yourself! Do all of you understand. Thank you. . . :(

I hope the Iranian military is proud of themselves.  Look at what their actions caused.

[bg11215]

No, the Iranians attacked the Americans. Americans were defending themselves.

[21boxhead]

Iran revenge is Pan Am 103 US didn't want Iran to bring there revenge card so they blame Libya.

[pp3k3jamail]

The should have declared war on the us and I'm American

[bollocks2who]

@pp3k3jamail Well, they couldn't and that's the point. It's sad, because our government only preys on the weak. If it were the Russians, there is no way in hell we would have pulled this kind of stunt. I'm also American!

[soco13466]

@bollocks2who Well bully for you.

[bollocks2who]

@soco13466 hey, majority of Americans are tired of what our government does!

all this was planed by US president

even a stupid kid.. even a moron can identify a passenger airplane froma a F-14 !!

[shadmehr2008]

for this , we will hate americans for ever,do you know how it feels if i shoot down your flight with 300 americans on it? you call it terrirism, what should we call americans?

[ImSoOffended]

Couldn't they just eyeball the plane?

[milltiaryman001]

@ImSoOffended The captain probibly didn't want to take a risk, missile range is far greater than line of sight.by the time the airbus was in visual rage if it was an f14 it could of sunk the USS Vincennes

[aserna32]

@milltiaryman001 I HIGHLY doubt that an IRANIAN "F-14" could sink sutch a U.S. Warship. Do your history researtch on the "Iranian" F-14. THEN you can comment.

[milltiaryman001]

@aserna32 do youre history an f-14 can carry ground attack munitions and bieng american doesn't make it any tougher

[aserna32]

@milltiaryman001 Ok. . um you clearly dident notice I said "I-R-A-N-I-A-N" F-14. From what I remember, when the last shah of Iran placed a $2 Billion order for the most advanced combat aircraft the world in 1974, they only recieved the bare minimum. The wepons maiting was shity at best and training ws also minamal. What they are capable of "TODAY" im shure a "bit" beter but no, evean a pair of IIAF Tomcats would fair none agenst "said" U.S. Warship. . .

[TheRealKhazzy]

@aserna32 when you spell sutch as such, then you can comment.

[aserna32]

@TheRealKhazzy F-U-C-K Y-O-U ! Can you read that shit FACE!!! :(

[Joker1990HU]

The U.S. government issued notes of regret for the loss of human lives and in 1996 paid reparations to settle a suit brought in the International Court of Justice regarding the incident. The United States government never admitted wrongdoing, nor apologized for the incident. In August 1988 Newsweek quoted Vice President George H. W. Bush as saying "I'll never apologize for the United States of America. Ever, I don't care what the facts are.

[Joker1990HU]

23 Jun 2011 – The US imposes economic sanctions on Iran's national airline.USA KILLS,USA IMPOSES SANCTIONS!!! What the fuck was Vincennes doing in the Strait of Hormuz? It was a Iran–Iraq War.......

[soycd10]

every american is resposible for this when they can stop their corrupt gov. from killing innocent lives. Just take a look at how many people USA has killed. Death to USA. Judgment day will take revenge, those lives lost wont be lost and fade away in the air.

[humanghaffari]

fucking usa killing my pp

[stmax555]

I could tell pretty quickly the biased B.S. in this report.

the people on the plane were not just killed on July 3rd 1988, but they were killed a second time when this came out.

they have to be joking.

[Hellhammerrr]

lol....national geographic makes a video and makes US look bad??... idont think so...this is bullshit...i studied aerospace eng....a radar can detect an aircraft time from that range...bullshit....fuck USA

[pigsinbed]

It is a shame that civilians were lost. Wish all the outrage expressed here would be mirrored for the countless victims of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorists Iran openly supports & encourage. Iranians are easily underestimated at out own peril. These are very clever people who will stop at nothing to destroy the west. It is a shame for the beautiful Iranian people who are victims of such an evil regime. Dear Iranian people, don;t give up. You WILL be free of the Mullahs & the midget someday

[DontBelieveJewsNews]

Mistaken Identity? These American psychotic criminal terrorist cowards deliberately crossed into Iranian waters multiple times harassing Iranian navy and civilian traffic while they were in the heat of defending themselves in a war started by America's arab negro slaves and murdered 290 Aryan women and children. We will never forget no matter how hard you savage retarded criminals try to rewrite history.

[MrWsad]

@DontBelieveJewsNews Why don't all countries who were harassed by the united states unite in a confederation? Iran, Serbia, Cuba, Venezuela, Vietnam, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, True Libya, Syria and many more? Maybe Russia and China can send us foreign aid and help us.

[jkyet]

So Iran was the enemy and it was even more dangerous with the F-14 that they got, wasn't it better to just not have given it to them in the first place. They seriously have to stop arming the world.

[maydayfire]

RED WHITE and BLUE is the BUTCHER's apron

[cinesimonj]

@maydayfire No, it's not.

It's certainly an apron some murderers choose to wear, just as many other countries have and do wear their flag - same goes for most religions.

War driven by ignorance, hate, nationalism, religious or political ideology and greed are not exclusively American issues.

Though right now, they certainly stand to profit via arms sales from pretty much any conflict on the planet...

[MostBS]

Hi,

One day they (USA & IRI : Republic of terror in Ian) wil have to pay. The Iranians people can not forgate that.Rgds

[TIKTAKTO2]

And they call us terrorist, fuckin assholes, these americans are dumb as fuck, the government spends billions in defense, but these jerks cant tell the differnce between a fighter jet and an airliner. to cover it up they make up this elaborate story. what the fuck is the US navy doing in the PERSIAN gulf anyways?

[Parathanathu]

I thought till date that all Americans are living in fear, and by watching this I am sure, I am right.

shame on you Americans. SHAME ON YOU

[VvicsieE78]

sometimes i wonder who the real terrorist in the free world is

[jujufokol]

That is quite impressive, you mean all of the technicians of the american navy are a bunch of dumbasses who don't distinguish the difference between a crap cake and crab cake. With all of those advanced radars and electronic stuff they made a fucking mistake and blew up 290 innocent people. I really don't understand WHY the americans put such stupid cocksuckers in such important posts. I'm sure all of them are getting fucked daily by the ghosts of the poor victims. fuck you all.

[Hamidesabz]

I don't want to argue about any thing else, but some body tell me!

If it was a mistake, why they were awarded on arrival? if they had shoot down an American or European airliner, would they have been awarded either?

[AntiMuhammed1]

@Hamidesabz

"why they were awarded on arrival?"

In the US-military it is quite common to award servicemen (and -women) before they disappear for good. Look at Timothy McVeigh i.e.(the Oklahoma bomber).

He was a highly decorated Gulf-War II veteran.

Before he left the army he was awarded for his sniper skills. After honorable discharge he became a nobody and finally blew up a government building in Oklahoma City (04-19-95).

So, there is nothing special about awarding servicemen before the drop.

[nilsampad]

As part of the settlement, the United States agreed to pay US$61.8 million in compensation to the families of the Iranian victims. However, the United States has never admitted responsibility, nor apologized to Iran.

[conanan2006]

no wonder why america is being hated by everyone...

[penbelly]

@conanan2006 I just wish I had pressed the button myself. Good Shot Vincennes!!!!

[jujufokol]

@penbelly You are a sick son of a bitch. It's obvious from your channel what animal you are. You dirty pig once will pay severly for these awful thoughts. I recommend you to think for a minute before opening your public WC (mouth) and dispersing shit everywhere.

[houmanca]

@penbelly , well i was going to tell you something but i thought a pig shit like you doesn't worth to spit on, i just wonder what type of moron animals helped you to grow up?

[CokeAndPizzaplz]

@conanan2006 it's mostly because Bush sent troops to Iraq to find nuclear weapons and killed millions and at the end they found 0 nuclear weapons so he basically killed millions for nothing..

[soco13466]

@CokeAndPizzaplz Millions? Where do you get your numbers?

[mehdigoudarzi]

What they say at best case whitewashes the intention behind a Navy commander's decision and nothing farther.

Besides, it's an awfully weak argument, I'm just improvising now, but I'm sure many other flaws are yet to be found:

*.VNS was an carrier, so there must be No fighter flying around at the time.

*. The radar malfunction (mistaking a commercial plane for a f-14 fighter) is absolutely hard to believe and Even if true, is VNS's fault and not those innocent passengers.

[msiravani]

It happened in PERSIAN Gulf .

Dear national geography it s awful to make this mistake !!!!!!!!

[mohius]

Persian Gulf!

do not change the history please....

[zapata2004]

congratulation to brave solders for killing civilian ,

they are hero

[zapata2004]

yes when they need , then can see Airbus as F14 , Civilians as soldiers , boats as warships and find a way to kill them .

This is American Rule .

[7L00]

Terrorism (:

[REPOMAN24722]

Stupid Americans

[criticalpass]

it was a trick by Iranian government, the flight delay was to swap out the plane identification signal with that of their F-14 fighter planes knowing US warship would shoot it down with gun boats out at sea provoking them...the trick worked perfectly and now Iran has a reason to hate the US. This is why they shot down TWA flight 800. Revenge is middle eastern culture.

[VvicsieE78]

@criticalpass Wow what a conclusive explanation. You must be working with the CIA or CLIA (Central Lack of Intelligence Agency)

[discountbacon]

Not for nothing, but who the fuck are we to have our ships overseas and then feel we have the right to shoot down commercial planes. At least when Russia shot down the Korean airline, they had an excuse. We are a country of hypocrites, and the government should have apologized.

[mimiyan2]

I can see the difference between an F14 and a passanger jet from my backyard, looking with naked eyes. They couldn't figure it out with their high technology Radar, Telescope and More. BIGGEST BULLSHIT EVAA......Its an act of Terrorism, Mass murder and warcrime.

[horror11]

well, american terrorism whitewashed by hollywood again :)

[ParadigmPenguin]

If Iran did not want to risk the lives of its civilians, then it should not have provoked the United States military by placing mines in international waters and attacking innocent merchants. The fact that this tragic loss of life was distorted by Iran and used as a propaganda tool is truly sad.

[chrisdef15]

@ParadigmPenguin

LOL so your saying Iran placing mines means its ok to shoot down a civlian airliner?

Some of you Americans are just sick.

[ParadigmPenguin]

@chrisdef15 I have no idea why you're laughing, as this entire issue isn't very funny. Regardless, you misread my comment. Whether or not we agree that the airliner was shot down intentionally, I think we both can accept that the U.S. warship was sent to the area as a result of Iran's terrorizing international waters with mines. Iran's military aggressiveness and lack of regard for the welfare of its citizens played as large a part in this as the missile itself.

[chrisdef15]

@ParadigmPenguin

International waters is a stretch. Officially this incident happened in Iranian waters.

And yes maybe they did mine International waters but thats thanks to countries helping Iraq, Iran had every right to stop traffic that was supplying materials of war to its enemy. I realize not all where but thats where false flagging ect gets you into trouble, how does Iran know who is who and what are they doing.

[chrisdef15]

@ParadigmPenguin

And i really dont see how mines in the sea means its ok to shoot down a civilian airliner. Even if it was just an accident from a bunch of incompetents.

They should of been charged with negligence not given medals.

[caraba421]

Three years after the incident, Admiral William J. Crowe admitted that the Vincennes was inside Iranian territorial waters when it launched the missiles.The men of the Vincennes were all awarded Combat Action Ribbons for completion of their tours in a combat zone. The air-warfare coordinator, received the Navy Commendation Medal, often given for acts of heroism or meritorious service,the medal citation noted his ability to "quickly and precisely complete the firing procedure. No joke cf wiki

[hlimkb]

captain of the stark destroyer was court martial hence perhaps the navy wanted a aggressive commander but it was a mistaken identity shooting

[edwong3]

How do you confuse an Airbus with an F-14 Tomcat? Seems fishy to me.

[polygamous1]

WHO owns national geographic? on the BBC news 24 a us army intelligence officer who resigned in discuss stated we shot the iranian passenger plane to intice the iranians to retaliate so we could also bomb them HIS OWN WORDS how about the false flag opperation in 67 when the us colluded with israel they sink the liberty kill all survivors us blames egypt attacks n takes over the mid east gathering storm avenge the liberty us surivors OWN words u think us gives a fuck about iranian civilians?

[jockefr1]

Definitely propaganda, its an outrage that pure rubbish like this can be spewed out on TV without any consequences.

Shame on you National Geographic!

[Dariushparis]

@jockefr1 Maybe for you it has never happened this tragedy???Why our blood is less red than yours mother fucker???

[jockefr1]

Of course it happened it was a huge huge tragedy, by propaganda and rubbish I meant that I didn't think this show told an impartial account of the events. It felt like it was just echoing the official story even though their are other reports and statements made that indicate that the captain on the ship was just looking for stuff to blow up, that he was ticking bomb

[chrisdef15]

@jockefr1

LOL whats propaganda about it?

There are 100's of sources with US officials admitting they where in Iranian water's, and there is no way a sphisticated Aegis equiped US ship couldnt tell the difference between an F14 and a civilian airliner.

And its also 100% fact the crew of the ship where given medal's not charged with a crime when they returned home.

if you accidenty run someone over in the street its a crime, just as this should have been if it was an "accident".

[jockefr1]

@chrisdef15

Exactly and was that clear in this documentary? In my opinion they soft-balled everything they talked about, didn't attempt to find out the whole truth and just pushed the official account i.e Propaganda

[supramanz]

@chrisdef15 it was proven this ship went way out of there way to look for trouble. They hastily moved into harms way when it wasn't there corridor.

[jjjhs08]

all i can say is i doubt this was on purpose, because they could have done a lot more if that was their intent...this is a problem with war, people panic and take actions like these out of fear because they are scared for their lives, and mistakes like these happen because they dont want to take chances..its easy to say they were wrong, but in their position its hard to take the risk and do nothing...no need to assess individual blame, just know the initial causes...

[persianmad]

there wasn't any war. that caption Roger was given the medal of honor from president of united state

[jjjhs08]

there was never a war? might not have been at its peak but there wasnt nothing

[jjjhs08]

and sorry but no, he was not given any award for blowing up a commercial plane

[jkw41569]

It was a mistake pure and simple. To think the US Navy would shoot down a civilian airliner is crazy.

[LandOfAryan]

america did this on purpose fucking yankees

[thuderbay]

Back then it was the policy of the US to kill as many iranian civilians as they could.,and they shot 655 airplane with full knowledge.

[jjjhs08]

i doubt it was policy to cill as many iranian civilians as possibly, your telling me one airliner was as many as they possibly could have? no way.....if that was policy there would have been much more carnage, thats all im sayin...we can never really know what was behind this though, but i dont blame people if it doesnt sit well with them...

[MrSeeSharp]

gulf gulf gulf !!! which gulf? gulf of mexico? gulf of aden?!

it is PERSIAN GULF...

it's funny, because this video is made by NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!! seems like they dont know anything about geography!

and by the way... imagine if Iran do the same thing ! what would happen?!

i think everyone can guess the answer!

[ThePerfectRed]

It is often overlooked that the Vincennes drove into Iranian territorial waters and then opened fire on the Iranian gunboats. So there was no 'war going on', it was an aggressive action of the USA from begin with.

[Capuchin]

Indeed the documentation and investigations carried out into this incident have been freely available for almost a decade now. It's already known that the U.S. ships had entered Iranian waters to provoke Iranian gunboats, that the American's were the first to begin the firing and that the U.S. ship was in Iranian waters when it fired the missiles.

It's sickening that something like National Geographic chooses to push such propaganda. Not to mention there has never been a U.S. apology.

[IoelShemtov]

It is only the enormous military supremacy of the US that allows it to behave in such barbaric way and get away with it (and even make pathetic movies like this one) but their power is declining and others are rising.

Their time to apologize is soon to come, and they have a lot to apologize for...

[bukvabukva]

I agree... You are absolutly right... the fact they werent punished for it angers me....

[mikekoorush]

Airbus A 300 is very big and will be seen even with normal Eyes !

Length : 54.08 m

Wing Area : 260 m²

Speed : 829 km/h

Who could match Airbus A 300 with F14 Specifications ?

[Sprebound]

@mikekoorush a trigger happy dickhead with a history of being a trigger happy dickhead.

[jozsefkacsa]

@mikekoorush U 100% correct the U.S.knew they shooting at an airliner it was retaliation and show of muscle

[MMSaffari]

@mikekoorush

Well

1. Considering the weather and visibility that day, it was impossible to see the airplane with normal eyes.

2. When a group of small fighters fly really close (which is a really normal practice) they'd bee seen as a large dot on the RADAR.

3. $hit happens! US govt has paid millions of dollars to people who lost their relatives on that plane...

[Parathanathu]

@MMSaffari "$hit happens!" This proves how mentally sick a person you are. I wish this thing never happens to your own. Try to learn something buddy

[MMSaffari]

@Parathanathu I'm Iranian. This is a problem of "THE PAST" and I don't actually see any kind of positive points in bringing it up after years. There are always people who have a "Hate" for other nations and that be said, I, as an Iranian, don't get that Airbus issue so hard on anybody specially after the road-side bombs that US soldiers faced in Iraq.

US govt paid their "Apologies" for that incident, What about Iranian govt?

We have too many more important issues on our hands with USA, BTW

[cinesimonj]

@MMSaffari Are you seriously surprised that the U.S was greeted with violence when they invaded Iraq?

What'd you expect?

That really is over the top naive.

As for not wanting to look at the past: where do you think America thinks it gets it's currency from?

The past. WW2. The cold war. Regan. South America. IRAN.

Where, if not the past, do we learn from our mistakes, and figure out future behavior?

America's right wing glorifies the past.

Expect them to behave similarly to then.

[MMSaffari]

@cinesimonj What do you mean "greeted with violence"?

Ever seen someone killed/injured by a roadside bomb? where on earth do you think those bombs are coming from? take a look at wikileaks and tell me Iraqi LNs built them all by themselves!

US ppl have to keep track of their interests and we'll have to keep track of ours.

All I'm saying is "There is no use in exaggerating the past and leaving the current to the sun!" I don't think it's hard to get point!

[MostBS]

@mikekoorush

Thanks yo very much: very well said. there is non doubt we can not confuse A300 with F14: it is simply impossible. Long live to Iranians people whom suported all . Rgds

[qwertyguy76]

@mikekoorush

they were either paranoid or stupid

[qwertyguy76]

@mikekoorush

they were either paranoid or stupid, even a monkey can spot an A300

[sbugiardo]

@mikekoorush apparently it has to do with how radar signals bounces back

[bg11215]

@mikekoorush  They were 10-20 miles away, obviously too far to be seen. Don't be stupid. And I seriously doubt that the radar provides aircraft specifications.

[mashaallah58]

victims were paid, ans apology was extended, but Iranian officials cheated the victims to outrage them against america

[Tzimnewman3]

"victims were paid, ans apology was extended, but Iranian officials cheated the victims to outrage them against america"

The responsable are the ones who must pay compensation and appologise. This is the United States of America which attacked a civil plane flying away from them.

Maybe they decided not to use Radar or any other piece of their technology. They are either Retards (all of them) or they are guilty of knowing what they did was wrong!!!!

American Government sucks!!!

[perute]

The Iranians were attacking unarmed civilian merchant ships on purpose. They were doing it deliberately and not by mistake. Iran never apologized and they never paid compensation to the dead on those ships. You can't have it both ways and blame America while not recognizing that the American ships were there protecting civilian shipping.

[Tzimnewman3]

Bullshit!!

[a0125nb]

You stupid! iranian were not paid!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not at all....not even an apology...you baster should read from a better sorce than us rv-magazines!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tzimnewman3]

"You stupid! iranian were not paid!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I'm afraid that until you find the inteligence to at least know what country I am from (something that is very easy for anyone to do), then there is no point in having any serious debate with you.

[perute]

If the Iranians weren't raiding civilian shipping in the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq war, this would never have happened.

[Tzimnewman3]

"If the Iranians weren't raiding civilian shipping in the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq war, this would never have happened."

If America never gave WMD's to Iraq in order for Iraq to use against Iran, Iran may not have guarded their borders so close. What would you do when a super power is giving weapons to your enemy??? Your going to protect your country for the possability of an attack from millions of men. They are prepared for America to attack it.

[perute]

This had nothing to do with WMD or "guarding their borders closely". The Iranians were mining the shipping channels and attacking neutral shipping from countries like Kuwait. The Iranians didn't like that the other countries were still trading with Iraq and loaning Iraq money. Did the Iranians ever apologize for all the civilian shipping crewmen that they killed or pay compensation to the dead crewmen's families? No.

[Tzimnewman3]

More BS!!!

[perute]

If it was BS then why did the Kuwaitis ask the Soviet Union, Britain and the US to put their flags on Kuwaiti ships? Just for fun? No. It was because Iran was attacking Kuwaiti oil tankers as well as other non-Iraqi civilian ships.

[Tzimnewman3]

BS!!!

[PLAYSTATIONNUMBER1]

NOOO

[artshop1321]

this is very shamefull to the captain of the ship, why was the wrong judgement never get punish, were hundreds of life had vanish in wrong judgement of the us naval ship.. you have no consciense. and no respect to the human,, you shame of your self and eat your medals.. and your ranks,, your criminals at large...

[oceanbound222]

US terrorism against Iran !!!!!!!!!!!

[mohammedataie]

According to this documentary, the US navy tried to contact the Iranian airplane, but they didn't respond!!!! IT IS TOTALLY BULLSHIT.

[ZedYahood2]

mohammedataie; the did try to contact but they used military frequencies to contact a civilian plane; the US war-ship did not have a civilian radio! BTW this film is basically a pack of lies, read wikipedia article "Airn Air flight 655" and you will see what other american capitans that were in the area at the time say about this murder.

[AMIRsarkari]

fucking Propaganda

[impartial1]

All Propaganda,

1- USS Vincense and the civilian airliner, both were in Iranian water.

2- US wanted to get involve in war with Iran. It was the best time for US to get ride of Islamic government. US would be happy, if Iran retaliated for killing all 290 passengers and crew aboard, including 66 children.

3- This redicelous to think, US did not know and did not monitored civilian airliner.

4-At the end, all USS Vincense crew get medal for their mistakes.

5-US never apologized for its mistake.
