Yes why did they fly into a war zone?

Is there any chance anyone could have survived, like Vesna vulovic?

[Josy]

Shocking, all those people

[arista]

Fools to fly into a War Zone

[arista]

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 hope this was not just save money on fuel

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.

[Redway]

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.]

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

Still awful for those people

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

[Northern Monkey]

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.

[andybigbro]

Omg that's terrifying.

[Northern Monkey]

This https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NPtDy18Nk5I is a likely candidate for the weapon used

[Benjamin]

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