[ehsolarenergy]

why were the crews interrogated in the USA???? they should be sent the international criminal court???



[shadowhunter388]

Wow alot of you are a bunch of fucking dick heads. Have some respect. This was a big mistake. I am american and I think this was horrible. Imagine being the guy captain and finding out that you just killed 200+ innocent people with one missile.

[MowjeSabzV]

@shadowhunter388 Yeah, a "mistake" according to the country that awards its soldiers with medals for directly targeting civilians. Respect for who? For terrorists who target civilians? For what reason? How come only when your country commits an act of terror (directly targeting civilians), your media and your politicians and the American people call it a "mistake", but then when your soldiers (non civilians) are attacked by bombs, your media, your politicians and your people call it"terrorism"?

[shadowhunter388]

@MowjeSabzV Oh shut up. How much aid does your country receive from us? Exactly, GTFO.

[MowjeSabzV]

@shadowhunter388 Why? I have every right to be here just like everyone else, and I don't need your permission. If u feel bothered that the U.S praises targeting civilians by awarding terrorists with medals, then it's your problem. What does (financial?) aid have to do with the issue anyway? If you want to talk about American "aid" to Iran, then why don't you also talk about its desperate attempts to starve Iranians and its continued threats of military action? American "aid" or sanctions?

[publicmario17]

@MowjeSabzV Do some research. The sailors did not get medals for downing an aircraft. They were given their combat action ribbons for serving a tour in a combat zone. This had nothing to do with the airliner being shot down.

The USS Vincennes It was operating in the Persian Gulf, outside the Iranian exclusion zone. It was there to protect civilian shipping which had been target suffering attacks from Iranian and Iraqi aircraft (this was during the Iran/Iraq war).

[rsa8665]

@publicmario17 But it sends a message that says "hehe, we killed your civilians and we gave a medal to him" . Whether you believe it or not this is what Iranians got. They way that the government acted is not excusable by any reason...

[publicmario17]

@rsa8665 i agree this went a bit too far when the US government gave them medals even though everyone gets those for their tour i just stating the facts that they get a medal for their tour, not downing the airliner. I also met some Iranian families who lost their members in the flight, say they didn't hold a grudge towards the US knowing it wasn't intentional.

[shadowhunter388]

@MowjeSabzV Average brainwashed terrorist supporting Iranian. You're from Iran and you are telling me my country targets civilians? When your government starves all of you, Kills many of you. Does thousands of terraible things to you. Your nothing but a propaganda piece of shit trying to spread hate to USA because you are brainwashed to hate a nation you don't have any clue about. Get this in your head motherfucker, My nation can at least build a stable country. We also don't target civilians.

[MowjeSabzV]

@shadowhunter388 The Ayatollahs are just as disgusting as the American politicians. The Ayatollahs are against our freedom & basic rights like the Saudi puppet regime is to its own people, but to a much lesser degree. It's the American sanctions that are supposed to starve us. But, that's not working, unlike North Korea and Iraq. Well, no matter how much you try to deny it, it's obvious that the American military is directly targeting civilians, which by definition is an act of terrorism.

[shadowhunter388]

@MowjeSabzV Iraq is over so you cannot use that as a excuse for something every time. The war ended in 2010. Afghanistan is not even a war. Libya wasn't even started by us. Our soldiers do not directly target civilians. You have no real proof to show me. Oh and North Korea? Everyone is against them. Not just USA. You want to see targeting civilians. Go to North Korea. You want to see death camps. North Korea.

[shadowhunter388]

@MowjeSabzV I have no problem with Iran. I really don't. I don't see what breeds this hate in you Iranians. Americans I talk to don't even mind Iranians. Your govt. May not be the best but mine isn't either. Look I apologize for the insults but I really don't think it is right for you to insult my country when you really have no knowledge of it. Like the civilian thing. We don't target civilians. If we do then soldiers go to prison. Like the picture of the helicopter. Those pilots were punished.

[RLKnight2007]

Stupid pilots should have responded. Not the Navy's fault Comm Air was flying over them during a war. Pzl8

America, fuck yeah.

[MowjeSabzV]

@RLKnight2007 Eat shit and die, motherfucker!

[77roseyposey]

my grandfather was on that flight and he died

if an american plane crashed in that way people would die but because it happened

in iran only people in iran would die

NO OFFENCE

[77roseyposey]

my grandfather was on that flight and he died

[FallenPaladin85]

And they were awarded with medals, grats.

[THUNDERCHUNKY100]

i dont think the captain was being entirely truthful he obviously left out some major details

[CHILESUDAFRICA2010]

why arent these americans considred terrorists?

[Hobinator17]

u guys, stop the hate. people on utube leave the angriest, cruelest comments that u dont need to. yes, it was an american ship that did it. yes, nat-geo covered up some stuff about the crash, but what did u expect? it's an american show! u guys say stuff like "die americans. u r shit. i will rape u. my country is 100% perfect, ur crap." will u stop!? im american and i think this was my countries fault, but that doesnt make me hate my country. jesus christ! u guys need some sense knocked into u!

[darkboy7792]

This brutal murder is processed.

[magegorgg]

Fuck me you americans are so full of shit. Amercians are either liers or DUMB AS FUCK. According to this americans are dumb as fuck. i feel sorry for you yanks. BTW not many in the world like you, i wonder why? one day...one day you will pay.

[ordinaryman12345]

Total Bullshit! The American Government (Not the people) has a long history of sorry a** mistakes they have constantly made! killing for weirdly justified reasons! There are times they "Kill For Freedom" and there are times they are just killing civilians and they're like "Oops we did it again, Sorry".(again just the American government, not the American people )

[downunder58]

Fu**ing bullshit , at least have some balls to take responsibilities of your action. You hit the Airbus and killed 290 innocent people, so you better take the consequences and don't come up with this crap .

[zamanim1]

i was 5 years old when this happened, my neighbor's 15 year old son was on that plane... his mother could not bare the pain and died a few months after...

[tabasdezh]

ballshit liers

[anahitaparnia]

yea just a deadly mistake!! what would be americas reaction if such a deadly mistake happened and took the life of american citizens???? 

[victor86tabacaru]

@anahitaparnia they would invade half the world if someone would take down an american plane loaded with american potatoes let alone people

[publicmario17]

@anahitaparnia That would be Pan-Am bombing by Libya. 

[Synesthesias]

@anahitaparnia

Is that a rhetorical question? How about Korean Air Flight 007?

That will give you a good reference point.

[remodrums33]

@anahitaparnia KAL 007. Americans onboard were killed. Anybody who argues for any country that makes a mistake like this is full of shit. These are all horrible events and it doesn't matter what country it happens to. None of this shit would ever happen if countries kept their damn defense forces within their borders.

[zapata2004]

Congratulation to Brave solders for killing civilian ,

they are really hero

[dsvogel420]

This happened the day I was born!

[perute]

If the Iranians and the Iraqis hadn't been raiding civilian ships in the Persian Gulf, this would have never happened.

[Tzimnewman3]

"If the Iranians and the Iraqis hadn't been raiding civilian ships in the Persian Gulf, this would have never happened."

Fuck you for spamming the same shit statement on all the videos!!

[perute]

Most of the comments on these videos are the same. You just don't like my comment. And my comment stands. The Iranians were mining the Persian Gulf shipping lanes and attacking civilian vessels. If they hadn't been doing that the US Navy wouldn't have been fighting them in the first place.

[jjjhs08]

maybe you are right, but in the end, you really cant blame anyone, killing and violence are a cycle that started millions of years ago and will never stop.....once it starts, it causes a chain reaction....nearly every nation has a gruesome history at some point though, so no real reason to pick on any individual one...

[cinesimonj]

@jjjhs08 Wa?

You really don't believe that people make choices?

To kill?

[jjjhs08]

@cinesimonj maybe i phrased it wrong, i didnt mean dont blame anyone, i meant dont blame all one race and not another..of course peopel make choices to kill...just almost all races have bad parts in their history so this race argument of whose worse is pointless

[MrSeeSharp]

stupid as a typical American redneck !

[rvd1979]

The schedule information is weird. Why is the list not showing Zulu time (=UTC)? Why is the ship running on local time? Both the list and ship should be working with Zulu time, as it is the world wide standard time set to Greenwich, UK. Avoids the making of mistakes with half hour differences.

[ZedYahood2]

rvd1979 if you watch the last part of the video (part 5) the Capitan of the other warship that was in the area tells you the truth near the end of the video.

By the way, if you are interested in this incident I have posted 3 videos about it and in them I point out all the lies one by one. Watch them and judge for yourself.

There is also a good article about the incident on Wiki which is more impartial than these videos made in the USA to explain or even justify the incident.

[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 1 billion dollar US warship didn't have a radio to communicate with civilian airplanes. After this incident all US warships were equipped with radios that could communicate with civilian planes.

This video is a pack of lies to cover the murder of 290 innocent people.

[rvd1979]

Murder? I am pretty sure that the captain and crew did not wake up that morning to INTENTIONALLY kill 290 people and the intention is still a precondition to make it a murder. So no intention no murder. It was just a deadly mistake induced by poor systems design and incomplete way of contacting through the civil aviation distress frequency (not using the code squawked by the aircraft).

[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.
