It’s a perfect comparison.
Both were accidental downings of a passenger plane in a warzone.
Both were misidentification.
The USA thought the passenger plane was an attacking tomcat fighter. 290 people on the passenger plane died, including 66 children.
Not perfect at all, the Russian invaders shot down a passenger plane from 33,000 feet for no reason.
This is so shocking because it came totally out of the blue, not because it was a tragic mistake made in the heat of combat, this has no excuse or legitimate reason for there even being such a threat possible.
