Yes why did they fly into a war zone?

It gets worse.


23 Americans were on that plane.

USA TV News reporting (a group) they tweeted shot down a Russian
Cargo Plan - but it was this plane


It was 33,000 feet up
but a surface-to-air missile (SAM) can reach that

I am wondering when the conspiracy theorists will come out and blame the American CIA, because Putin is such a nice guy, and so are the rebels.

Maybe they can get the guy behind Loose Change to do a video...



What has been said on the BBC it could have been rebels capturing abandoned equipment left behind when the Ukrainian army retreated.

Most airlines fly on a Great Circle route which probably took it over the Ukraine. The BBC say they do this sometime without giving it a moment's thought.

The plane was not flying in restricted airspace. Many airlines still flew that part and have just rerouted.

Yeah,Apparently it keeps costs down for passengers,It's "like a big motorway between Europe and Asia" a more direct route which saves cost on fuel.It could've happened to any plane,That one was just unlucky.

Was slim chance of there being any, but no survivors and the footage showed some of the dead including the children.
