It was a Boeing 737 Max 8. The type many nations have grounded.

Then they deserved to be shot down! :)

If true, Boeing stock should nose dive tomorrow.

"It was a Boeing 737 Max 8. The type many nations have grounded."

Looks like the Iranians grounded it.

I wonder if it was a charter flight from Burisma with Soros and Brennan on board.

Soleimeni, the gift that keeps on giving.

It was a regular 737 and only 3 years old. Only the MAX 8 ones have been having these problems.

I also believe the Iranians shot it down. They are nervous, badly trained and have shit equipment.

This report says the plane was a 737-800, which is not a 737 MAX:

It was not the new 737 Max. You have no idea of what you are speaking.

No, it was the 737-800, and older-type model not the MAX.

No, it was a 737-800.

Probably the most common airliner in the world, or close to it.

It wasn’t a MAX.

It was a older 737-800NG (Next Generation) model.

Here is the plane in question:

A MAX has larger engines with a shark tooth trailing edge on the engine nacelles.
