Description:
July 3, 1988, Persian Gulf, Straight of Hormuz: The Iranian passenger plane, an Airbus A-300 just taken off from the southern Iranian coastal city of Bandar Abbas. The aircraft is still climbing inside an internationally-recognized route. But the American missile cruiser - USS Vincennes- targets the airplane with two Standard missiles, killing all 274 passengers plus the 16 crew.
