Now if they plane was unexpectedly shot by a S.A.M you could then assume that there was no time to actually discuss anything therefor the data would show no discussion....
It's very sad that these people paid such a price for nothing but bull#### political world drama here. I hope Iran pays, but without further escalation I don't see sanctions and restrictions really doing much in terms of "answers" to what happened and the families here ultimately get screwed.

Some one bought up earlier rightly that the pilot procedure is to get control of the plane, navigate and then communicate. But from my understanding the voice recorder in the box picks up in cockpit chatter, not just radio chatter, that could be important, if there's no conversation happening, that says a lot, if there is chatter that talks about a strike that is huge.
As one talking head former investigator said on CNN yesterday, the appearance of the debris field speaks to the plane coming apart in mid air which goes against the theory of an engine failure. Bulldozing the site and tossing the debris means investigators can't look for signs of a missile strike ie shrapnel as I believe and Baron will probably correct me, but missiles like the SA-15 don't impact the target, they explode and extend a shrapnel cone not unlike a shot gun blast.
Iran isn't going to pay anything. At some point this could go to an International Court but that doesn't mean that Iran would abide by any judgement, plus like the mafia they've already wrecked evidence.
The family are screwed already, they're never going to get answers or and I know it sounds horrible compensation.
