We doubt CNN will bring out a miniature plane with Don Lemon and come up with conspiracy theories about what actually happened to the Ukrainian bound Boeing 737. But Iran is hiding something. Regardless if you believe it was a technical malfunction that caused this plane crash or Iran took it down by mistake with their missiles, the Iranians are trying to hide something. Why else would they refuse to hand over the blackbox of the airplane? What are they hiding? Three Britons and 63 Canadians were among the 168 passengers and nine crew who died in that plane crash over Tehran.

The plane’s black box flight recorders have since been found, with one Iranian official saying they were damaged but their data could still be retrieved.
However, Iran is refusing to hand them over to international authorities, Reuters reports.
Iranian media said the Boeing 737 came down after “technical problems” and quoted an aviation chief who said no emergency had been declared.
Qassem Biniaz, a spokesman for Iran’s Road and Transportation authority, claimed one of its engines caught fire, causing the pilot to lose control.
But the aircraft was new in 2016 and was last checked just two days ago, the Ukrainian foreign ministry said.
