Title: Malaysian passenger airliner shot down?
Post by: Flashheart on Thursday, July 17, 2014, 15:43:56
Over the Ukraine... 280 passengers on board.

Not confirmed it was actually shot down yet but reports are suggesting it was bought down by a surface to air missile. Either way, it has definitely crashed.

If it was shot down, then somebody, somewhere, is in a shit-load of trouble.

Is this in addition to the Ukrainian fighter supposedly shot down earlier by the Russkies?

Shiiiit. Can't imagine that was deliberate.

Just been reading about it, it's insane if true.  They brought down a plane that was flying at 21,000 feet before I think, wouldn't an airliner have been higher than that mid-flight?

Firing a missile was obviously deliberate.

Just wrong target

That's awful, poor people, although It was only a matter of time. The wife wants to go to NZ, I said only if she goes via the US, as too dodgy on the asia flight path, the normal route goes over a lot of the trouble spots.

They'll be gone in a few months. This will have finished them off.

Reports suggesting that it was shot down by Ukrainian separatists with a Russian supplied Buk SAM system.

Of course Putin will distance himself from it. I'm sure he's quaking at the thought of more financial sanctions.
