So, has HN turned into a political conspiracy theory and propaganda factory to beat the drums towards war? I just don’t see how this is relevant except to egg-on the paranoid InfoWars hobgoblins.
1. People are just learning about this incident
2. It's extremely relevant have you not seen the news?
It has nothing to do with being pro-war or anti-war, it's relevant because it's worth understanding what's going on in our world and the layers of deception from all sides.
> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
Planes are interesting for HN in general, most of us (I think) enjoy learning about how things fail and why, and learning from big business failures is a must if you want to get a startup running. That's why most Boeing MAX stories are usually fine.
"Regular" news stories, on the other hand, tend to be off-topic.
