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. | ||

Meaning, were civilians aboard? Because if it was, that means someone(probably nato along with the ukrainian nazis) want to push the situation. | ||

I don't get upset by much. I don't care about the world and its stupid conflicts really. But when 300 innocent people who are (perhaps) not even from the region where the fighting is happening get killed for no reason... I mean what the fuck -_- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655 | ||

I'm just going to quote this so that its stupidity can be reflected upon at a later date. Tragedy calls for sympathy, not political fortune telling on a whim. | ||

I do not believe that airspace is "off limits" or a place where planes avoid. We will have to see reports of its flight path to see where it was before it went down. I am sure those reports are coming. | ||

I can't get the link on my work PC, but Kennigit was tweeting about it. Woops.

Who would know that rebels have Buk missiles and will shoot down civilian airliner? Several big planes fly over that area all the time. | ||

What the hell was Malaysian airlines thinking especially after what happened a few months ago? And this falls under Ukraine thread... which was closed. Plenty of airlines are flying over that area, not just Malaysian airlines. They were just unlucky enough to be the recipient of the missile. | ||

I don't think anyone still questions that at the moment. It's highly unlikely that those rebels just happened to come accross weapon sofisticated enough to down planes cruising 600 mph at 30,000 feet while strolling through one of their villages. Deadly weaponry in the hands of people of subpar intelligence is always a bad thing. | ||
