    I can't believe this news. I work in corporate aviation; our office is speechless right now.

    I'm only basically informed of the situation over there. And I don't want to get into D&D area. But Putin shouldn't be allowed to wash his hands of this, right?

    My wife's friend and her family were supposed to be on this flight from Amsterdam.

    Missed the flight.

    If this is genuine it does confirm suspicions, ie wouldn't expect professional soldiers to make this kind of mistake. It's a damn big ass commercial airliner.

    Separatists might as well lay down their arms and give up now. RIP poor souls.

    The media is really pushing the 'shot down' angle.

    Makes me think this wasn't a missle but mechanical failure.

    You can't hide an aircraft carrier.

    Sadly this is not that surprising, given that Russia has provided sophisticated SAM equipment to groups that are not highly trained. Easy to see how this could have been just a tragic mistake.

    Sounds like Iran 655. Malaysia air should take a lot of blame for this. Why route a flight through a war zone?
