#9 Bet on who's considered "neutral"? |

#8 Who will do the reading of the data has not been determined yet but I guess international pressure will be high to have this done by a neutral institution Bets on whether the data is "unreadable"? |

#7 I also guess that the sky over Teheran was extremely well monitored by Western intelligence, and rocket launches from the vicinity would not have gone unnoticed. And I don't believe that, if true, such data would be divulged. |

#6 To be fair Iran is under no obligation to "hand over" the black boxes to Boeing or the NTSB. There are several institutions that could handle the data including the Bundesstelle für Flugunfalluntersuchung (BFU) in Germany, the Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses pour la sécurité de l’aviation civile (BEA) in France and the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) in the UK. In the case of MH17, Ukraine handed over the black boxes to the Netherlands (reading was done by British experts). Iran has announced that specialists from Ukraine, Sweden and Canada will be invited. Who will do the reading of the data has not been determined yet but I guess international pressure will be high to have this done by a neutral institution. If evidence points to a technical failure, specialists of Boeing will have to be involved. Ukraine will certainly share the data. If Iran already knows that they shot down the plane they will most likely want to make sure that the black boxes won't deliver usable data. I also guess that the sky over Teheran was extremely well monitored by Western intelligence, and rocket launches from the vicinity would not have gone unnoticed. |

#5 Ukrainians are leaning towards a SA-15 (TOR) strike apparently, based on the damage patterns visible and missile pieces near the crash site. Iran does have some of those. |

#4 and, sad to say, the French may be more competent, given recent Boeing foo-pahs. |

#3 Hand them over to the French, they have the capability and equiments to read Boeing black boxes. |

#2 Before this stunt by the death-cult mad mullahs I would've pegged the odds of a SAM strike bringing down the Ukrainian airliner at maybe 8 or 9 to 1. Now I think those odds are about 999 to 1. |

#1 Aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing are deadly serious about debugging any problems with their machines. That the Persians are not providing the data recorders strongly suggests there is a back story they want hidden. Yes, you are as surprised as I am. Dollars to donuts, the satanic Americans have some satellite or radar data that would clear up the mystery. |
