    RIP. I wonder why anyone would be flying over the Ukraine with all that stuff that is going on.

    Very sad indeed. Two incidents in 4 months apart. MH370 and now MH-17 with the same airliner.

    Gosh, this news breaks my heart, all these poor people. There are 22 people from my country the Netherlands on-board as well. My condolences to family and friends of those lost.

    Likely shot down by accident, unbelievable.

    Stop spreading Rumors..
    They dont even know IF it was shot down..or just crashed like the last malay... airliner...

    But, No excuse if it was indeed shot down, but also... why cross the airspace of a country that is currently in the middle of a war?

    This is basically a war thread, or will be soon enough. Shame things like this have to happen before action is taken.

    Not as much of an accident as collateral damage from the civil war in Ukraine.
    This is so immensely tragic nonetheless.

    And to add to the fact that it's a malaysian airliner just makes it that much more eery.

    What I want to know is why that plane was even flying over Ukraine to begin with. Who approved the flight plan? There are other routes that plane could have taken and avoided Ukraine all together.

    And if it was a BUK system operating with one radar, it might not fully know what it was shooting. Those usually need two radar systems.

    Terrible news! It could be Ukrainian military or it could be People of Donetsk republic, either way idiots! This needs to stop asap! Send international investigators there, put them on a border with Russia like Russia has been saying for the last month! What pisses me off is that i havent seen a single piece of news about ukrainian military bombing civilians on the news, but the second you can blame Russia its all over the news!

    Sort it out! Its between EU, Russia and Ukraine, USA should stay at home, none of their business!

    Once again RIP, terrible news! :(
