The Airbus was not squawking any IFF (electronic Identifacation friend or foe) codes which are used by all commercial aircraft. It was not ascending nor was it in a commonly used air lane. It made an unusual turn toward the ship which was already engaged by the Iranian boats. (...) After the incident, several bodies were found intact except for the fact that they were nude. It was suspected that the passengers were already dead before the aircraft ever left Iran. This information is available in the congressional record of the inquiry into the incident.
Source for these extraordinary claims? US congressmen no doubt, who would be only too glad to "suspect" all sorts of things that would let the US navy off the hook.

Your sources are certainly not the links you posted, d. They would seem to flatly contradict your claims.

Tell me, what IFF codes are squawked "by all commercial aircraft"? The truth is that they squawk the transponder code assigned to them by the controller, which isn't the same thing as an IFF.

And by the way, a lot less than a plane crash can blow people out of their clothes.

So your tinfoil-hat theory is that the Airbus was remote-controlled, right? (Where have we heard that one before? LOL)
