In order to maintain some kind of respectable thread quality and to show some respect for those who lost friends in this tragedy, we're forced to enact a hard line policy for this thread. Any posts holding an opinion on who is responsible or making an accusation that is not held by neutral media will be banned. Policy is in effect from page 27 onwards.

Specifically, citing a Ukrainian or Russian source for your claims is going to get you banned. Opinions/facts/accusations arising from neutral media sources (i.e. media whose country of origin is not Ukraine, Russia or one of its puppet states) will be permitted. This policy extends to all forms of media; if a youtube video or picture has not come through a neutral media source then don't post it or you'll be banned. If you wish to discuss this policy please use this website feedback thread.

Updated policy on aggressive posting and insults.

A Spanish air-traffic controller in Kiev saying that the 777 was followed by two fighter jets minutes before it was shot down. On his account he goes on to say that soon after, all foreigners were escorted out and radar records were immediately confiscated after it became clear a passenger jet was shot down.

Ah zeo's finally popped up something he scraped up, let's see how well it holds

I guess those fighter jets were firing their SAMs from the airfield

Geez, I suppose it was too much to hope for that this thread would not be littered with runaway speculation.

Any news on the black box? That is about the only hard evidence we are likely to get in the near future.

Apparently the airspace it flew over was closed up to 32000 feet.

http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/mh17-was-operating-above-closed-airspace-eurocontrol-401742/

A NOTAM was posted on reddit

http://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/2ayk8v/twitter_breaking_malaysian_passenger_airliner/cj049i9

That NOTAM says those airways are closed up to FL320. MAS17 was at FL330. Not saying it was the safest thing to be there but it wasn't against any rules.

Separatist: on TV they report it was AN-26, a Ukrainian transport, but they say [unclear who exactly: either on TV or from internal sources] it has "Malaysian Airlines" insignia on it. What was it doing over Ukraine?

Kozitsin: clearly they were transporting spies. Should not have flown over this territory, there is a fucking war going on.

gotta love paranoid, delusional people incapable of applying simple logic and reason who have weapons capable of mass slaughter. yay earth.

The black box will be of middling relevance due to the fact that internal error was not the cause of the crash.

What's a black box going to give you? As far as I know, passenger jets do not have missile warning systems, or any other data that could indicate where the missile originated from.

I feel really bad for Malaysian Airlines, having to deal with two plane crashes in a few months must be a nightmare.

How it went down, any notice of engine troubles, timings, transmissions, etc.

Reading the transcript of the KAL 007 box did give a fair bit of insight into what happened there, for example.

He can feel bad for them. Its ok. I do too. It must suck, they lose co-workers. I also feel bad for the people on the plane.

Black box contains audio from the crew communication. If it indeed it was a rocket there must be some audio clues like a simple "we've been hit xxx is not working/responding" by the cockpit crew.

That the plane was hit by a missile is almost certain at this point though.

Can someone provides the radar picture of weather at the time that plane was shot down, I wanna see how cloudy it was, my theory is that if the plane flew above the clouds, the separatists shot blindly at the plane they saw on radar and thought it belonged to Ukraine army.

If it's a rocket, everyone will be dead the second it hit, and most likely wouldn't even noticed anything until that time. Not like they hit a bird and cruised for 15 min or anything.

If it's a rocket, it's just BAM. They most likely wouldn't even noticed anything until everything is in pieces. Not like they hit a bird and cruised for 15 min or anything.

Not always, and even if so, that's a pretty good clue as to what happened.
