plenzmd1 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 @cnnbrk: Ukrainian Interior Ministry adviser says on Facebook that plane was "shot down" by "terrorists." http://t.co/IJ25aKed6z very early, no one knows exactly what happened, but sure appears that way based on what I am watching. I would think we have enough surveillance over there to know for sure if missile pretty quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note to self: if traveling to or from Malaysia, go by boat. I have to believe that is the end of the road for that airline. Obviously appears they did nothing wrong in either incident...but it may come out they took this route back and forth as less fuel expended, as i believe US Airlines have been directed to not fly in the airspace due to concerns over the situation.

DC Tom Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 It does get disheartening, makes you wonder how the fug we all got so lucky to born in the US. Luck had nothing to do with it. My parents were here. I have to believe that is the end of the road for that airline. Obviously appears they did nothing wrong in either incident...but it may come out they took this route back and forth as less fuel expended, as i believe US Airlines have been directed to not fly in the airspace due to concerns over the situation. Malaysia Air's service has obviously improved in the past several months. They know where this plane is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark80 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) I often get discouraged by things that go on in America. In politics, in cities, in schools, in a lot of walks of life. Then I see something like this happen, or what's going on in Israel, or innumerable other areas of the globe and I think to myself, damn, things are pretty darn good here. We don't have to worry about so many things that others have to battle with on a constant daily basis. Whether it be war, starvation, disease, poverty, terrorism, or whatever. We are truly fortunate. Thanks to all who keep our country safe. Edited July 18, 2014 by Mark80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 We should let the facts come out before we start getting pissed at anyone. The only fact right now is that hundreds of people are dead and that is very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 NBC has what is claimed to be an intercepted radio transmission between a separatist commander and a Russian army major. Essentially the meathead separatist was bragging he shot down a Ukrainian cargo plane and the major informs him he shot down a passenger liner. If it's verified it confirms who is guilty and proves the Russian army is running this circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) NBC has what is claimed to be an intercepted radio transmission between a separatist commander and a Russian army major. Essentially the meathead separatist was bragging he shot down a Ukrainian cargo plane and the major informs him he shot down a passenger liner. If it's verified it confirms who is guilty and proves the Russian army is running this circus. it could be, and that's why Putin blamed Ukraine for the general conditions, rather than whoever may have perpetrated this specific act. "This tragedy would not have happened if there were peace on this land, if the military actions had not been renewed in southeast Ukraine. And, certainly, the state over whose territory this occurred bears responsibility for this awful tragedy."
