Pilot talk in cockpit was peaceful until communication with Tower was lost all together in one moment.

2. It was announced that CNN would cover the pilots last words. I'm watching the situation

room to see what it is. I thought others might want to listen to Wolfe Blitzer on that story too.

3. Oh OK, I misread your subject line

Thanks

4. My punctuation mistake.

5. It must be the tower communications w/ the aircraft

The black boxes (including the CVR) are still in Iran.

6. I didn't think of that. Yes too soon for black boxes. They used the

words cockpit recordings or cockpit recorded. I should have thought that through.

7. That's on them. I'm going to look to see if CVR transcripts or recordings were released by Iran

9. 'cockpit recordings' is not specific as 'cockpit voice recordings'. They usually

say 'voice' when they mean one of the black boxes. I would doubt if Iran has access to that data. I think Iran may have mentioned getting canada's help if they can't decode the two black boxes, at least one of which was damaged. Anyhow. Seems more and more like a missile. Now Iran has a 'bomb on board' theory. Grasping at straws because they had at least a day to plan the attack and that should have involved clearing the airspace. Trudeau has a tough road to walk insisting on data and that political considerations in Iran are not allowed to muddy the waters. Iran opposition had joined with the hardliners after Soleimani's death. Anti iran factions in Iraq had joined with the iranians too. They no doubt will want to keep these advantages as the investigation slowly rolls along. We should know more Saturday when the Iranians are holding a press conference. Such a waste of the young. Such negligence.

per usual they were not actually black but orangy red and i only really saw one cylinder. So they have not got any data from them.

[Dennis Donovan]

14. Ah, that's what I thought

What did CNN ultimately show?

[applegrove]

15. I was typing. I did not see them doing anything but interviewing the reporter

who had the story.

8. If the aircraft comms were terminated without warning

It was a missile strike.

Engine fires don't do that.

[applegrove]

10. Yup.

11. I lived and worked in Newfoundland for 4 years

And I know how devastated my Canadian friends are today.

I don't think Americans can really appreciate how sad this is for them...

12. I am way out of the loop but just the youth of so many gets to me. And the

families. And the family members who are alive but suddenly solo. Everyone of them had a dream. The young do.
