Malaysian 777 crash Ukraine
« on: July 17, 2014, 04:37:08 PM »
Sky were reporting it was shot down. Apparently a Ukraine air force jet was shot down earlier today in the same area. Being between Russia/Ukraine it looks possible it was shot down.

BREAKING- Reports that a Malaysian passenger airliner
with 295 people on board has crashed in Ukraine near the Russian
border.

The Boeing 777 plane was flying from Amsterdam to
Kuala Lumpur. More to follow.

Speechless, just no words to describe this. Seems to have been a rebel missile, however to happen to a Malaysian 777 of all aircraft...
