I did hear on the radio there were only 6 AIDS delegates onboard.

Oh my. What are the chances?!

Dutch man cancelled bookings on BOTH Malaysian Airlines flights which ended in tragedy.
Is that right though? 100 + AIDS delegates on their way to Melbourne + 100 Unicef Volunteers?? I'm wondering if she's not mixing the two groups up?
This whole situation is doing my head in............hell on earth.
I can not imagine my relative lying in a field on the other side of the world.......the unspeakable torture those familys & friends are going thru & will continue to go thru.......there are no words.......
This is the truth of what we are dealing with....

I will let none of you pass! I have an order! he shouted. Motley gunmen in ragtag uniforms flanked out alongside him. A lanky rebel in a beekeeping suit who reeked of alcohol folded his automatic rifle in his arms. The observers wandered out, then meekly retreated.
the crash site remains a hideous mess
Nobody seemed to know where the bodies would be taken. Ukraine wants them stored 185 miles north in Kharkiv, the only nearby city with the facilities to take them, but claims that rebels have already spirited 38 corpses to their nearby stronghold in Donetsk and conducted their own autopsies.
Local firemen and police officers, some of whom had clearly spent the night drinking moonshine, listlessly shoveled body parts into black garbage bags and left them to broil at the roadside.
Ragtag militiamen with no obvious leadership barred observers and reporters from the field. The planes black boxes have vanished.
Observers from the OSCE, a European security agency whose 57 member states include Russia, were denied full access to the site for the second day running when they drove up on Saturday. Rebels, led by Grumpy, said they had orders not to let them pass that came straight from the so-called prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk Peoples Republic, a Russian named Alexander Borodai.
Ukraine says that the rebels are forcing the rescuers to work for them under gunpoint, but the men seemed unperturbed by their presence.
Many cameramen stood amid wreckage from the fuselage to get shots, nearly stepping on a hand that plaintively stretched out from under it.
Grumpy, the armed mens leader, said no investigators or observers would be allowed until the experts who, as provincial police officers, would have no training in handling air disasters or other crime scenes of such magnitude had completed their work.
One rebel in a safari hat who routinely made casual threats to shoot reporters in the knees eventually looked at the back of his Donetsk Prosecutors Office badge and found the prosecutors name, Ramil Khalikov. Khalikov was nowhere to be seen.
Theres a grandmother. A body landed right in her bed. She says please take this body away. But we cannot tamper with the site, Borodai said, according to Reuters. Bodies of innocent people are lying out in the heat.
None of this will go any way to assuaging the agony of the 298 victims relatives, powerless as their loved ones bodies lie for a third day in a far-flung field, baked into the asphalt and rotting into the ground. Rebels have gone through their things and piled them in a corner at the edge of the site. Ukraine claims that some of them looted the victims credit cards and attempted to make purchases with them.
Nearer to the village, a cross bears a sign, HEAVEN HELP US. An empty plastic two-liter bottle lies by the engine wreckage. Amid the stench of death all around, you can smell the alcohol. The bottle looks new.
It's just all too much to take in, unimaginable .................
:tears::tears::tears: for the 298 people who so tragically lost there life ( & hoping they had no idea of there fate ) & the family who are going thru hell..............
as I see it, Putin conducts himself as a warlord rather than a legitimate head of state. holding the recent Olympics in Russia was a very poor move IMO because it granted him an air of respectability he does not deserve. these Ukrainian separatists conduct themselves as gangbangers rather than a legitimate militia fighting for freedom from an oppressor. so now we have gangbangers dictating access by CSIs to a crime scene they created, while demonstrating that they are exceedingly proud of their previous and continued actions. they are spitting in the faces of civilized humans. why does Putin get away with what he does/doesn't do? because he is a major source of fossil fuel products for that region of the world. we see the same scenario in the Middle East. the decent and humane people in this world could/would easily quash Putin and his ilk if we were not dependent on what they have. this is what I see when I stand really far back and look at the really big picture. I often wonder what history will say about us and our priorities 500 years from now

Its insane. Totally insane. If one of relatives wre lying out there being carelessly treated by drunken idiots, I would lose my mind.
These people have the same backwards and irrational, arbitrary, and evil mindset of any thuggish warlords from third world countries. They are no different than Somalian pirates, IMO.
Im so horrified and pissed right now.
I was appalled that the Olympics were held there. And now the next World cup is going to be hosted by Russia. that decision should be immediately reversed, IMO. He's just as big a as the separatists I feel.
IMO there is something fishy here
...........but switched to another flight to avoid having a stopover.
MAL 370 was direct right?
I am pleased to announce a new tradition. The RQSQOTD (Richard Qwest Supidest Quote of The Day) award.
He was awarded this hightest honor as a result of this profoundly moronic statement:
And we must remember, that the flight was 4 hours into its flight - so there were people moving around WITHOUT THEIR SEATBELTS.
WTF???????????
Congratulations Richard
He drives me mad just an idiot
