Live airliner crash updates on the BBC now.... Link

^^ Agreed Nige, RIP all those on board.

In fairness to Malaysian Airlines I don't think any other airline was diverting flights to avoid the area. Virgin and Lufthansa have only just now announced that they will be re-routing flights to avoid Eastern Ukraine and I expect the others will follow suit.

It's certainly not been a good year for MH...

Thank you for the correction.

**nigelandjan** · 18-07-2014, 01:45 AM

Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 is thought to have crashed near the settlement of Grabovo, as the Ukrainian government and rebels traded allegations it was shot down.

Looks like MH 17 was shot down by the separatists, who mistook it for an AN 26.

We shall see

Airlines were warned in april about using the Ukraine corridor

**Chittychangchang** · 18-07-2014, 02:50 AM

I've decided to treat the wife and her mother to a surprise holiday in LOS...

They fly out on Saturday with Malaysian Airlines.

**harrybarracuda** · 18-07-2014, 03:17 AM

There would not have been a conflict if that arrogant, thieving prick Putin had not started this row.

I hope the c u n t rots in hell.

I actually feels sorry for the Malaysian transport minister, he must have just about thought he was in the clear.

Now ENT and Shaggy will be blaming the Yids or something.

Most keyboards have one of these buttons, have you not found it yet?

The West Coast have a "Blame China" button.

**helge** · 18-07-2014, 03:27 AM

Mine says "Blame the Soviets"

I was referring to the " Facebook Incident" earlier today, when the separatist leader announced the successful downing of an Antonov

The announcement was later removed

The Russians have more info

We shall see

An official with Malaysia Airlines says at least one Canadian was among the 295 people aboard a passenger plane that was downed Thursday over Ukraine.

Huib Gorter, the airline’s senior senior vice-president, says 154 people were Dutch, 27 were Australians, 23 were Malaysians, 11 were Indonesian, six were from the United Kingdom, four were from Germany, four were from Belgium, and three were from the Philippines.

Gorter says authorities are still trying to determine the nationalities of the rest of the passengers.

Jesus, as if MAS and the colleagues of the ill-fated crew on MH370 needed this not to mention the passengers and their families RIP to all who perished. Let's hope something some good can happen for MAS sometime soon although I can't imagine what.

Of course, it couldn't be Russia's fault. They are the saint of the world. You and I know that it was the evil US. Obama shot it down himself from the oval office using a Playstation 4 and some tinfoil.

Can you imagine all the spare GTAMs around the world and the thousands of daily flights criss-crossing the globe.

Do the math.

**bsnub** · 18-07-2014, 07:28 AM

^ This plane was cruising at 33,000 feet out of the range of all but the most sophisticated of GTAMs. The kind that is only possessed by nation states.

More then likely this is what was used;

27 Aussies on board
9 UK
4 Germans
4 Belgians

Multiple Ukrainian airplanes and helicopters were shot down in the previous weeks by forces using a Buk missile system. It seems that Russian trained or more likely, Russian operatives were operating the missile systems. More damning are the intercepts of social media and phonecalls of the rebels celebrating the downing of a presumed Ukrainian military transport aircraft. The rebels quickly moved to remove all messages once the error was realized.

All signs point to the Russians. Putin now has the blood of a lot of Europeans on his hands. It will be interesting to see what Merkel and the other EU addicts of Russian gas have to say over the loss of Dutch and UK lives.
