Ukraine says Malaysian airliner shot down, 295 dead: (Reuters) - A Malaysian airliner was shot down over eastern Ukraine by militants on Thursday, killing all 295 people aboard, a Ukrainian interior ministry official was quoted as saying by Interfax-Ukraine news agency. The aircraft, which other sources said was a Boeing 777 flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, came down near the city of Donetsk, stronghold of pro-Russian rebels, Anton Gerashchenko said, adding that it was hit by a ground-to-air missile. There was no further confirmation of the report, although Ukrainian officials said local residents had found wreckage. Malaysia Airlines said on its Twitter feed it had lost contact with its flight MH-17 from Amsterdam. "The last known position was over Ukrainian airspace," it said. Gerashchenko was quoted as saying: "A civilian airliner travelling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur has just been shot down by a Buk anti-aircraft system ... 280 passengers and 15 crew have been killed." Interfax-Ukraine quoted another Ukrainian official as saying the disappeared from radar when it was flying at 10,000 metres (33,000 feet), a typical cruising altitude for airliners. It came down at Torez, near Shakhtersk, some 40 km (25 miles) from the Russia border. The area has been the scene of fighting between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russian rebels. Ukraine has accused Russia of taking an active role in the four-month-old conflict in recent days and accused it earlier on Thursday of shooting down a Ukrainian fighter jet - an accusation that Moscow denied.

Have mercy. Is it too soon for all of that already?... It would be interesting to see someone try and connect those dots.

The FAA had not issued any new warnings Thursday in the immediate aftermath of reports that a Malaysian airliner had been shot down over the Ukraine. Russian airline Aeroflot announced Thursday it will no longer fly over Ukraine territory.

I mean, unless you're a fighter pilot or bomber pilot looking to destroy some stuff.

HE WASN'T THE PRESIDENT GENIUS not on paper. you think bush didn't have his strings pulled by that puppet master? & the cronies that were behind him? "The term shadow government (also cryptocracy), besides its party political meaning, also refers to what is sometimes called "the secret government" or "the invisible government," an idea based on the notion that real and actual political power does not reside with publicly elected representatives (for example, the United States Congress) but with private individuals who are exercising power behind the scenes, beyond the scrutiny of democratic institutions. According to this belief, the official elected government is in reality subservient to the shadow government who are the true executive power." ~wiki

It seems like a possibility that the airplane was in that airspace because it was a more direct route. All commercial airlines were warned in April to avoid that area of conflict. Perhaps they were saving money on fuel, I would hate for that to be a factor in this.

Perhaps they were saving money on fuel, I would hate for that to be a factor in this. That's why I mentioned that it's another Malaysian flight and conspiracy theories. You'd have to be pitifully stupid to be flying in that air space right now. And pilots are not typically stupid.

Horrible. I've been following this story all morning and wondering what the hell that was doing in THAT airspace. Apparently, that bit of airspace is used on a regular basis and that particular flight was one of about 50 aircraft to use in the hour before the incident.
I know that it will be of little comfort to many but that airspace is now a no fly zone.

It makes good sense that it would be a no fly zone. I know that if I were a pilot, I wouldn't want to get anywhere near there.

3 babies were on that flight too. m'fers who did this need to be caught. they were saying there might be more 'intercepted' communications as well that might help reveal who's behind this.

The russian separatists are not allowing the investigators to stay on scene overnight.
