Did Russia sjust shoot down that MF #17?

[psychturtle]

This will probably result in a lot of finger pointing. Ukraine insists Russia shot it down. Anyone from that area have insight?

[Ninjinister]

What the hell are you talking about?

This.
Around three hundred people died today when a passenger airplane fell from the sky near the Ukrainian border from 30,000 feet.

It's time for Russia to pay for their crimes.

Malaysia Airlines has no luck.

Well, I heard on ABC news that the Russians did shoot it down, but NBC didn't report anything like that. It's still a terrible thing that has happened though and my thoughts go out to all of those affected by this tragedy.

Thats my favorite Zarius post in a long time.

:D

Yeah, in all seriousness, hope the truth will come out on this. Horrific ordeal for the families affected, I pray they pull through

Everyone's so sure its the Russians.

Both the Russians and Ukraine have the same type of SAM in the area. Maybe it was separatists....maybe it was Russia....maybe it was Ukraine. I kinda think maybe Ukraine. Their Prime Minister was super quick to call terrorism. If they admitted to an accident maybe America might not have their back anymore. They had a lot to worry about.

It could be either one to be honest. They were flying in a freakin' warzone after all. They should have known better than to fly over that territory anyway because you can't tell me they had no idea it was a damn warzone. It's sad because they could have chosen a different route, and this is the result of their decision. Sucks all around. A woman from IU was one of the ones killed in the accident.

That plane flew that same route every day. Ther airlines fly that route too. Most everyone that goes to war realizes you don't shoot down innocent commercial airlines. And anyway, at that altitude, not much could reach them.

But everyone had SAMs. I highly doubt the Russians did it. They actually reported the plane late when it didn't check in to their waystation. I doubt the sepratists had sufficient training to use the BUK SAM system, but some of them might have and they did grab a Ukranian BUK earlier and supposedly have shot down Ukranian military planes.

The Ukranians have the BUK system and were aware Putin's plane (which, like Air Force One, is a commercial plane) was going to be in the area as he flew home from South America. Did they shoot that plane thinking they were getting Putin?

The Russians are the only ones I don't think have a motive.

[BubblyShell22]

Ah, I see. Well, I didn't know that they flew that route before. Looks to me like some shady sh*t is going on. Could have been Russian separatists or could have been Ukrainians who did it. I don't know if we'll ever find out, but it's a horrible thing to have happened for sure.

Can this thread be renamed "RIP MF #17?", to be consistent.

[pennydreadful]

I don't know who shot it down, but whoever it was is a giant bag of pus-ridden dicks.

[Dirty Blond]

I love Vladimir Putin.

[BubblyShell22]

How can you love Vladamir Putin? The guy is an a**hole.

[ZariusTwo]

I love Vladimir Putin.

Are you auditioning to be Rusev's manager? That spot is kind of taken...

[BubblyShell22]

Ha, I see what you did there, Zar. Good job.
