    Anyone see the last Tweet from the Airlines before the shoot down? Been deleted already due to the outcry over the irony but still able to Google it....had a picture of a teddy bear strapped in the cockpit saying "Parker the Pilot Bear is ready for takeoff" and enjoy the flight....next tweet was the statement of stand by for details of the tragedy.

    295 people dead through no fault of their own. I can see why you'd find it so humorous.

    wouldn't doubt the russian took them down. it's not like they haven't purposely taken down a commercial airliner before.

    ***News Flash***Some idiot on CNN says that we will never find out what happened because the Russians will not tell us the truth. Gee, I never would have guessed that.

    There is audio circulating of Obama saying "oh penetrate, I don't need this today." What a jerk.

    A better translation of that Facebook post I put up earlier -


    Roman Bochkala, journalist for TV Inter in Ukraine, had this comment on his Facebook (translated by The Interpreter):
    I urge you to pay attention!!! There is information in the news about the movement of the BUK. Supposedly the passenger plane could have been shot down today from this system. Here's the news from Donetsk Region. Information from local residents. Today the separatists seized the STO auto center at No. 108 Shchorsa St., and it looks like a department of the water canal.

    Near the children's store they have set up firing positions. Today at 11:25, a column went through the town of Zurges heading toward Shakhtyorsk with: 1) a Chevrolet Niva 2) 3 tanks 3) a Renault Traffic 4) a Volkswagen Transporter 5) a ZIL with people with the top down. Armed terrorists numbering about 100-150 were observed in Lutugino.

    They are deployed in two groups. The first is in the very center in the dormitory of a children's clinic. The second is "beyond the [civilian] quarters" near a red-brick bank under construction. At 12:10 pm, a missile system (looking like a BUK) passed through on a trailer plus two cars for cover through Torez toward Snezhnoye. In Marinke, the terrorists are situated in the post office and Ukrtelekom (47.939448, 37.501337) and Emergencies Ministry (47.938623, 37.499827). They drove the missile system on the trailer plus the two cars through Torez, in the direction of Snezhnoye, at 12:10. It looked like a BUK. The top was draped over. At 13:10 three tanks and a minibus passed through Torez to Snezhnoye.
    All of this is unconfirmed, though the source has proven reliable. The claim also matches a scenario that could have brought this aircraft down with a Buk. AP reported earlier that one of their journalists also spotted a Buk in eastern Ukraine, though we have no additional details on this claim.

    Notice that no single Ukrainian soldier or government official is in the wreckage pictures. Now if you are the traffic controller in Kiev why would you give clearance on a foreign commercial jet to fly over an area you have no control or ground troops on the ground?

    Rumor has it the separatists are currently blocking access to the crash site. Also several separatist social media sites claimed they shot down a plane then the posts were deleted soon after when the realized it was a commercial airliner.

    Look at how many planes were in the area at the same time that rerouted as soon as they heard MH17 went down. A bunch of different carriers, some of them major airlines. One theory going around now is that they thought it was Putin because he was flying back from Brazil and they got his plane confused with this one due to the colours and insignia on the side but that doesn't make much sense.



    "Russia asked Kiev on Thursday for permission to help with rescue work in eastern Ukraine after a Malaysian passenger airliner was brought down there, the Emergencies Ministry said.

    "The Russian emergency services sent an official request to our Ukrainian colleagues to carry out joint work at the crash site of a Boeing (plane) on Ukrainian territory," Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov told Russia's RIA news agency"

    the theory of shooting down putin's plane is bullshit.

    i mean, are you telling me they can't afford a decent binocular to see that there's a big malaysian air logo on the tail of the plane?

    clueless donks just making up shit as usual.

    This is stupid. You can't see the colors of a jet flying 500 mph at 33,000 ft from the ground.

    This is how a jet looks like from the ground:
