Boeing 777 shot down

[Zbornak]

Just saw an interview on BBC with a couple who switched airlines at the last minute as they were worried about it. They we're scheduled to fly on that plane!

Putin says the Ukraine are responsible.

“Obviously, the state over whose territory it happened bears responsibility for this terrible tragedy,” Putin said as cited by Itar-Tass.

What a ridiculous thing for him to say!

Hope they buy a lottery ticket this weekend.

One of the worst things in recent years imo. Belong human. Hope all the scum responsible are wiped out sooner rather than later.

Little bit scared about the political ramifications here though.

Does Putin not care that he is slowly turning the world against him?

"Putin says airplane disaster would not have happened if Kiev had not renewed military operation against rebels in east Ukraine"

Too busy riding topless on horses to give a ****, obviously.

As long as his popularity at home is high no, same went for GW Bush.

Do you ever get the feeling that there's something bigger at work here than the general public will ever know?

There is but it's not hidden, the BRICS nations are challenging the western dominated world financial system.

Even if there are concrete scientific evidence that it was from a missile supplied by the Russians, he will still deny it.

 

[olivier renault]

He'll be around for World Cup 2018.

And given how my crystal ball completely sucks, I sure hope he won't be.

 

[Aedus]

Cant wait to see how this unfolds. Terrible.

Yup but Bush sprinkled some propaganda to the sheep around the world and it's allies

Which has about zero to do with todays disaster, however much the conspiracy nuts wish it did.

Wouldn't the missile have destroyed the entire aircraft in midflight in an instant especially with fuel on board? Seems like a lot of debris clustered close together, plus the video shows fireball explosion as it strikes the ground which suggests the main body of the plane was still intact.

Just seen a video of the crash site. What a ****ing horrible way to die. :/

RIP

No, this isn't Hollywood.
It very much depends where it hits, and the wreckage is supposedly spread over 9 miles.
