Two groups of people had to make decisions last week, with profound consequences...
Managers of Ukraine International Airlines and its Pilots - "Hmmm...we can see ballistic missiles flying through the air on our television screens in what could become a hot war in a matter of minutes...do we launch an airliner into the same airspace?"
Iranian Anti-Aircraft Missile Battery Crew - "Hmmm...a plane is being tracked leaving Tehran, along a known airliner flight path, and at airliner flight speed...do we activate our AA missile battery and try to shoot down the intruder before it gets out of our airspace?"
The Iranians have said it is "scientifically impossible" for one of their missiles to have shot the airliner down. Do they mean that they think it is scientifically impossible for two separate groups of people to be this colossally stupid at almost the same time?
Sadly, they are wrong...never underestimate stupidity.
Condolences to the victims and families who are suffering the consequences of these epic acts of negligence.
