anyone own malaysian air stocks?

[itchypickle]

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.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

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

Does Malaysia airplanes fly to Las Vegas

***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.

[DwightShrute]

its so early to speculate on anything as of yet except that almost 300 souls are lost.

Hey man start filing your taxes quarterly if you dont already. Obama needs your money to give to the illegal alien children so he can built a resort for them.

I'd much rather have my quarterly taxes used for TSA because you know we need them http://nydn.us/1yw2wyn

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.

I wonder if Putin was flying at the time and the plane was shot down thinking it was his plane

no - i think they do a codeshare with BA or AA

[Bluehorseshoe]

A Ukraine spokesman just said they intercepted Russians talking on a cell phone over this. They even have the cell phone number.

[freeVICK]

Did they ever figure out what happened to the lost Malaysian plane ? Or did they just sweep that under the rug too

[Fidel_CashFlow]

more random mass violence against people who's attackers never saw their victims faces even once before....

[TheMoneyShot]

Did you guys just hear that on MSNBC???

[pavyracer]

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?

not just that, they're probably clueless about what's going on in ukraine and russia.

they had no business being victims.

[TheMoneyShot]

That wasn't Staff Sgt. Michael Boyd

[Nut_Flopper]

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.

[freeVICK]

Hahahaha did anyone just see that interview on MSNBC? Dude getting interviewed told the reporter "your a dumbass aren't you?" Followed by a cut to commercial LOL

[tony_come]

These missiles are made in USA

that is the rumor. Who knows.

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"

[Ghenghis Kahn]

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?

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:

BUK missiles have optical capability
