    But it's an -800 model, not a Max:

    "The plane had been delayed from taking off from Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport by almost an hour. It never made it above 8,000 feet, crashing just minutes after takeoff, according to data from the
    flight-tracking website FlightRadar24.

    "Qassem Biniaz, a spokesman for Iran's Road and Transportation Ministry,
    said it appeared a fire erupted in one of its engines and the pilot lost control of the plane, according to the state-run IRNA news agency." https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2020/01/07/world/middleeast/ap-ml-iran-plane-crash.html

    "fire erupted in one of its engines".

    Gee. Exactly the area where a heat seeking anti aircraft
    missile would hit.

    Fired by whom? In what scenario would someone in Iran shoot down a
    civilian plane from a third country that had just taken off from the
    Teheran airport? It's far more likely to have been a bird strike or >maintenance issue.

    Umm, any of 250 SAM itchy finger ground crews stationed in a circle
    around Tehran who bumped against the "fire" button?

    Then again, there was TWA 800 just a few weeks after 9/11 which
    exploded and crashed just after takeoff from JFK.

    Press releases from Ukrainian airlines say that the plane was
    registration number UR-PSR and it had last had routine maintenance on
    Monday at its home airport in Kyiv.

    Point stands but you're thinking of AA 587.

    Interesting what-could-have-been:

    Unabomber Ted Kaczynski was arrested on April 3, 1996.

    TWA flight 800 blew up on July 17, 1996.

    Had Kaczynski not been arrested, as he had been in the prior 19 years, guess where the fingers would have been pointing? He'd tried but failed to take
    down an airliner in 1979: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_444
