Welp, that's not good. A lot of Australians use that route to get back home from Europe, too. (Not that I want to make this about Australians)

 

[lewigie]

Everyone is dead. It was shot down

Not a good year for Malaysian Airlines.

 

[Jaeger]

That's horrible

 

[Milang_Panthers]

10000m up that's a long way up to be hit from the ground isn't it?

 

[Forward Press]

News sources going crazy reporting that a surface to air missile has shot it down.

Massive news indeed.

Expect Russia, Ukraine and the separatists to all be blamed as news slowly starts leaking out.

MH17 - Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. 295 people, every chance there may be Australians on there as a popular Australia to Europe flight.

Speculation that it was a BUK SAM (whatever that means) that can apparently hit targets that high up. A lot more advanced than a shoulder mounted rocket.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Saw Malaysia Airlines in the thread title and thought MH370 had been found. Got my hopes up and then read on to find out it was something horrible. This is huge.

 

[NSWCROW]

i don't like this feeling in my gut

 

[Jaeger]

I would have thought airlines would be instructed not to fly around the Ukraine/Russia border.

Yep, transported on special launcher. All sides have access to them, though Ukranians and Russians have denied it was them and seperatists were boasting today about shooting down a Ukrainian transport ...

I took this route with Malaysian earlier this year, all it makes me think is.

I survived the MH B-777.

2 down this year.

Other way around I think. Amsterdam to KL.

Just speechless.

Yeah, edited.
