Oh this is going to be a shitshow if it's actually true and not the media spinning it.

Damn.  I can see no reason why Ukraine would shoot it down... smells like Russians to me.  But, what do I know?

I would guess Russians as well.

Oh shit.

Wait, that was at 10,000 feet.  That's far too high to hit without radar guidance.  Russia...I didn't think you were stupid enough to give the sepratists more than MANPADs.

That. Makes no fucking sense at all. Passenger roster available yet? Though I doubt it would be a well known name.

That's not restricted airspace either, from what I understand. It's a pretty heavily traveled corridor from planes from Northern Europe toward the Middle East and Asia.

I have no idea what it takes to launch a radar guided missile toward a plane at cruising altitude, but I suspect it's more than "point and click."

At least we know where this one went, right?

The fact that its Malaysian airlines is surely a coinky-dink... right?

QuoteBodies are scattered around what is believed to be the wreckage of the jet near the village of Grabovo, which is under the control of separatist rebels.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-28354856

Apparently, and the count is 295.

Err.

QuoteAt least 100 bodies have been found so far at the scene, an emergencies worker told Reuters news agency at the scene, with wreckage spread across an area of up to about 15km (nine miles) in diameter.

A paranoid man might suspect potential shenanigans within that diameter as well.

Or that Malaysia is really pissing someone off.

This is what happens when you give advanced weaponry to people who cannot tell a commercial airliner from a military plane.

On the other hand, I'm eagerly awaiting the conspiracy theories which suggest the CIA stole the first missing Malaysian Airlines flight in order to plant this flight over Ukraine to implicate Russia to, uh, something.  New World Order-y.

I especially like it because at this point the pathetic Ukrainian Army, against all expectations, is actually winning.  Taking territory and cities from the seperatists.  So now would be the perfect time for a false-flag attack because, uh, reasons.
