    I'm sure the bulk of the Ukrainian military equipment is from Russia.. Also very interested in who did the actual shooting.

    My first thought was maybe that someone mistook it for a military plane.

    I'm sure this is going to cause a shit-storm.

        Don't commercial flights always take the same path? Not like they wing it on each flight with GPS.

          Government response will be the same as when the Korean airliner got shot down:
          Soviet jet fighters intercept a Korean Airlines passenger flight in Russian airspace and shoot the plane down, killing 269 passengers and crew‑members. The incident dramatically increased tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States. On September 1, 1983, Korean Airlines (KAL) flight 007 was on the last leg of a flight from New York […]

            It's not uncommon in times of war for military jets to take the same paths to disguise their intentions. Israel uses these tactics.

              It will be interesting to see... None of the reports are saying that the plane had issued a distress call etc. as if it were a mechanical issue. Assuming that is true (who knows with Malaysia Airlines) something catastrophic happened in flight.

                It's probably the same damn people that shot down the first one a couple months ago

                  Geez. Fucking terrible. After the Cold War ended I didn't think we'd be seeing stories like this anymore. Being in a plane crash is probably one of my biggest fears. I do not like flying very much. Those poor people.

                    WTF is a commercial airliner flying over a warzone where TWO aircraft have already been shot down over the last week alone...

                    BTW, my understanding is that the US had already ordered US airlines to avoid the entire area. One wonders why Malaysia hadn't done the same thing for their airline. More and more it looks like Malaysia is incompetent..

                          I think that is pretty obvious at this point.

                              That's really the golden question here.

                                CBS and ABC were doing that too, so I'm sure everyone is..
