Hmmm so another 777? Something isn't right here with this airline company. How do you have 2 crashes in 6 months of the same model airline? Now I will never fly overseas.

Malaysia Airlines just confirmed 'an incident on board' which seems a funny way to describe a crash.

Malaysian passenger plane with 295 people on board "shot down" as it flew over eastern Ukraine http://news.sky.com/story/1302864/malaysian-plane-shot-down-with-295-on-board…

Hmm... I wonder why they would even route a plane over any area having heavy gunfire and such?

 

[Dr. Know?]

Pro Russian serparatist might also be the culprit per live link. I don't think they know who is responsible yet. They are being cautious naming anyone.

Malaysia Airlines is not having a good year.

Holy Crap if it was in fact shot down. :notgood:

 

[Ravynne]

Oh my... They shot it down...

Edited to delete my knee jerk reaction to another incident with MA.
Feel so sorry for all those on board.

Yes, but Russian backed and don't see themselves as Ukranian.

RIP to all involved.

Good God! How horrible.

 

[jslk]

This is really shocking. Surely you can tell a commercial airliner from a military plane?!
