Or, put more simply, is there anything to support this being anything other than a major f.....k up?
Something along the lines of the USS Vincennes incident.
i am sure that is exactly what happened. It was a giant mistake. The real question that should be asked is why civilian airliners are flyin in, around and near war zones. It will happen again in the next few years, probably in the Middle East.
