PS752: Foul Play or Technical Malfunction?

Philip Baum

This podcast focuses on an article from Transport Security International Magazine that examines the circumstances surrounding the crash of Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 shortly after takeoff from Tehran in January 2020. The author, Philip Baum, explores the various theories about the crash, including the possibility of a missile strike or a technical malfunction. He highlights previous incidents involving the shoot-down of civilian aircraft, including the destruction of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine in 2015 and the shooting down of Iran Air flight 655 by the USS Vincennes in 1988. Ultimately, the author concludes that it is too early to definitively determine the cause of the PS752 crash, but the timing and location of the incident raise serious questions and warrant further investigation.
