The next question is this...

If this is traced back to the Russians shooting it down, along with all of the dirty shit they are pulling in the Ukraine...

What happens next?

Sanctions don't seem to do anything. You really think Putin gives a flying shit?
The guy wants to rebuild an empire that died ages ago.

Do you bomb Russia back to the stone age?
Do you send troops to fight at the Ukrainian border?

That would be basically result in a nuclear war.

So, no.

I pray for the victim's families and friends. It's so sad and heartbreaking that innocent lives were taken.
May the victims rest in peace.

I've seen some fucked up shit in my time using the internet, but nothing has moved me to the level of some of these photos. I feel physically sick seeing these photos of bodies.

People here worried about WWIII need to realize that this will only lead to further Russian distancing from the problem that is the Donetsk region.

Unless thing get more messed up, that is.

This is absolutely terrible. If it was those fucking "rebels" I hope this will have consequences.

Also not doing the mistake of clicking on pictures of such a tragedy again. I don't have the stomach for it.

If this got shot down then it had to be some military grade weapons as I doubt separatists could get their hands on high grade military weapons. (So the rumours of Russia shooting it down "could" be true"

But if this plane crashed then I personally think the Malaysian Airlines/Government need to retest every pilot...

2 planes in a year from the same airline company is messed up.

I'm real hoping that authorities are showing up and sealing off the area right about now, keeping the morbid curious away, it's a crime scene for fuck sake.

If the no-fly zone was real and public knowledge before now, why the hell did they still fly through it? Did MA not know? Did they just think it wasn't a serious threat?

This story from last month says it was a no-fly zone exclusively for military aircraft but that's still super fucking dangerous to fly through when it's imposed by rebels!

Surely if this plane flew through it, that means many others must've done before it?

Because why would one pilot knowingly fly over that airspace if there was any genuine risk that they might come to harm?

Fuck... ANWB just confirmed to Nu.nl that there were 15 Dutch people aboard the plain going on vacations of Fox.

There's a good chance the majority of the passengers on the plane will turn out to be Dutch. 200+ I fear.

For the love of god people: stop speculating or saying this will lead to another world war.
The situation is as bad as it is right now without people throwing around nonsensical comments.

Either you have watched too much TV or your joking, and either way is not a real great thing right now.
Just wait.


Terrible news and rest in peace everyone that was involved in this

CNN reporting it came apart at altitude. That could be a catastrophic internal explosion or a missile.

BTW: TWA Flight 800 crashed on this date in 1996.

No chance I'm looking at those. Some of the families may not even know about this yet.

So close to WWIII.

I feel it.

Not even.

It's a really unfortunate event, but what will happen here is both sides will point the finger at the other and allies of both Ukraine and Russia/Separatists will increase their funding for each side.

It's really heartbreaking to see those pictures. Most of those people were likely alive until they hit the ground. Imagine the terror they must have had while falling.

I wonder if this will hasten the end of the conflict.

NOS reporting:
Someone from D-reizen confirmed that there were 25 Dutch passengers booked onto that flight.
They can't give a confirmed number about the actual number of people who actually checked in...

I mean it sounds like no-one should have ever been flying across it. Who knows how big the "no-fly zone" is, could be this plane only went through it to avoid weather or something, but it seems kinda... negligent.
