Iran says it unintentionally shot down the Ukrainian plane that crashed outside of Tehran on Wednesday killing 176 people.
In a statement from Iran's Armed Forces General Staff, it is said that the plane was "accidentally hit by a human error".

He's not wrong. I remember hearing that too. The first boats on scene said the smell of decay was almost overpowering, and many of the bodies were naked.

The US has done it too. So have the Russians (KAL 007), more than once, as have others.

Wouldn't take long at all for dead bodies floating in water, under the hot sun, to be in a pretty advanced state of decay.
Not to be disrespectful to those killed, but throw a dead fish into a bucket of room temperature water and set it on your lawn out in the sun for a few hours.
Besides, why would anyone try to stage such an event?

well depending on the speed of the aircraft at the time of break up and how close the passengers were to the baste wave it would be shocking to see them with anything not physically attached to their bodes.

CDC report on close blast effects on human bodies

over pressure and wind speed caused by the blast wave plus the air s[peed of the aircraft and the fact clothing is flammable and not usually up to air speeds over 400mph they likely burned off in an instant or were just ripped off.
i have pictures that i traded someone(real pics, like on kodak paper) of a bunker that got hit with a thermometric weapon and there wasn't anything biological bigger than DNA in the room....oh and random shadows where people were standing and equip,ment blocked the scoring/burning of the walls)
it only takes a few PSI of over pressure and about 100mph wind speed and there wouldn't be anything left on your body like your eyes, lower jaw arms, legs AND CLOTHINGedit on 12-1-2020 by penroc3 because: (no reason given)
