wow :/

Northern Monkey 17-07-2014 03:40 PM

I know!It was more than likely taken down by a missile,God knows why it was flying anywhere near that area.

Benjamin 17-07-2014 03:40 PM

Apparently it was shot down?

Northern Monkey 17-07-2014 03:42 PM

Malaysia not having much luck with planes,think they should stick to sailing.

Samm 17-07-2014 03:43 PM

oh no -puts Malaysia of places to go in the future-

Northern Monkey 17-07-2014 04:08 PM

Speculation on BBC that it was taken down by a 'BUK' missile launcher by rebels thinking it was a Ukranian plane.

Smithy 17-07-2014 04:09 PM

:shocked:

Sticks 17-07-2014 04:11 PM

More likely the American CIA, so they can blame it on the Russians :shocked:

Well certain people blame America for everything, why not this?

Sticks 17-07-2014 04:15 PM

Apparently all airlines flying near Ukrainian airspace are legitimate targets.

This is aimed at destroying the Ukrainian national airline as well as denying air transport of any kind to Ukraine until it returns to Mother Russia.

King Gizzard 17-07-2014 04:15 PM

I've got a bad feeling about this

Pete. 17-07-2014 04:15 PM

They're saying it wasn't actually shot down or if it was it was in error

Yes why did they fly into a war zone?

arista 17-07-2014 05:24 PM

Ben your titles wrong

It was shot down over a war zone

Ukraine needs to be on your mixed up title

MeMyselfAndI 17-07-2014 05:46 PM

This is terrible :(
Is there any chance anyone could have survived, like Vesna vulovic? :(

Josy 17-07-2014 05:50 PM

Shocking, all those people :sad:

arista 17-07-2014 05:51 PM

Fools to fly into a War Zone

arista 17-07-2014 06:01 PM

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

Was MH17 flying through warzone to save fuel? Planes in area of crash site pictured flying away from Ukraine as questions are raised as to why they were travelling over country

I hope this was not just save money on fuel

Sticks 17-07-2014 06:52 PM

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...

:rolleyes:

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

Redway 17-07-2014 06:54 PM

Horrible news. Those poor people. :(

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.

Pete. 17-07-2014 06:58 PM

So it was the plane was not meant to fly over Ukraine.

Still awful for those people
