Ukraine flight PS752 crash

Re: Ukraine flight PS752 crash
Try googling "Iran Air Flight 655" or "USS Vincennes".
It was an incident where the USS Vincennes, while in Iranian waters, shot down a civilian airliner in 1988, wierdly similar to the current event. The Vincennes was a state of the art US Aegis warship. It's a classic examination of system failure, well worth a detailed read.

Similar but with the exception that the US was not the one to shot the recent plane down. So why the continued inference of the US in this tragic incidence.

In each event, the 'system' mistakenly identified an approaching civilian aircraft as a threat. In the case of the Vincennes there were multiple failures within a state of the art system, eg thinking the aircraft to be an Iranian fighter they tried to communicate on military frequencies that the aircraft didn't receive and although the aircraft was gaining altitude the 'system' mistakenly identified it as descending and approaching. It's well documented.
In the recent case, the reasoning behind mis-identification isn't yet public, but I suspect similar confusion.
In either case blaming the poor guy who pulled the trigger and ignoring the system, as a whole, of which he is simply the last link in the chain doesn't prevent it happening again.

Re: Ukraine flight PS752 crash
I only remember because it was a big deal in San Diego, was on the news non-stop when it happened, I think I was 9 or 10 when it happened. 9 months after the incident the wife of the Captain of the ship involved was driving the family mini van when a pipe bomb went off, she survived and without injury if I recall correctly, don't think the FBI ever figured out who did it.

"As the Vincennes exchanged fire with Iranian speedboats last July 3, Iran Air Flight 655 appeared on the U.S. warship’s high-tech radar system. After the plane failed to respond to warnings on civilian and military channels, Rogers gave the order to fire."
