Iranian TV Shows Downed US Drone

Posted by timothy on from the you-mean-ben-afleck-can-you-fly dept.

First time accepted submitter loic_2003 writes "Iranian TV has broadcast footage of an advanced U.S. drone aircraft that Tehran says it brought down using electronic methods to override its controls. The BBC's James Reynolds watched the footage and said the fact that the drone appeared undamaged provided some evidence to support Tehran's version of events. The film was captioned 'RQ170 — advanced U.S. spy plane' and carried on the Vision of the Islamic Republic of Iran Network 1 channel."

    Why don't Iranians ever have sex standing up?

    They're afraid someone will see them and think they're dancing!
