And you find that interesting ...
Quite a positive chap ain't he?
Really. So when Concorde erupted into flames on take off because a small section of rubber ricocheted off the fuel tanks that must have been Hollywood effect.
A supersonic missile detonating next to a fully fuel laden 777 has more than enough potential for destroying the aircraft in one go if not from a fuel explosion but explosive decompression tearing the air frame apart.
Is that what I said.
It depends where it "hits" missiles generally don't actually hit, they explode in close proximity and allow the shrapnel to damage structure/systems.
It in no way must explode like you said so
And since when did the concord explode in mid air anyway? It damaged the engine, set fire and crashed.

That only shows that translation is likely to be accurate, it says nothing about whether the recording is genuine.

Also, the air is a lot thinner at 30km and fire needs oxygen
and how do you know this?
that isn't the conclusion at all... the BBC had an 'expert' on essentially blaming the rebels

Has anyone taken responsibility for it yet? Did anyone admit to have done it?
Nobody is going to, this is the hottest of hot potatoes. Even when confronted with evidence it will be denial after denial and claims that the evidence was made up.
And good luck ever getting that black box back from the Russians.

The world is a ***** up place right now (probably has been forever) so much death and destruction all around us 
Think i'm going to pass on news for the next few weeks, bumming me out everyday seeing the horrors unfold.

If it was a restricted airspace then surely it should have been someone responsibility somewhere to direct commercial airplanes to another path. It could not be that easy to go in to a restricted path like that or would we not have loads of airplanes suffering the same fait? I don't see how this could be some kind of accident. Even if the russians thought it was another plane and are shooting at anything in the sky. Why was the plane even allowed to go in that airspace and not other planes?
He's on day release humour him.
Given that blame may prove to be difficult to bring to justice whoever pushed the button and gave such orders, I would imagine that relatives and other organisations are going to put a lot of pressure on Malaysia airlines, other operators on the route and the various air authorities for allowing them to fly through that air space. They will likely seek compensation and charges in court against a company or someone in order to hold at least someone accountable for what has happened.
Other planes had been using that flight path, they have only now banned them!!
Get your facts straight!
Yep they aren't called rock apes for nothing
The thing is this could spark another Cold War with Ukraine in the centre, Putin is nuts enough to do this
