I saw the bodies on Fox News and those were intack...not burned or destroyed, and the pieces of the plane I saw were large, but there were some burned areas on ground...probably jet engines etc.

Wow.

[B212]

close the hangar doors, and post a for sale....

[mware]

Ukrainians are not being allowed to go to the site of the crash.Seems the Russian separatist are in control of the crash site.

I was in Saudi Arabia at the time—age 45.

No signs of survivors......

Putinists love snuff photos. They did the same with Odesa fire.

And was Crimea what Obama told Medved he would have more flexibility with (which was caught on tape), after the election?? I wonder.

[McGruff]

You gotta ask who would benefit from this.

Russia - no
Rebels - no
Ukraine - no
Others who want to make trouble - maybe

[Uncle Chip]

Militants from the Donetsk People’s Republic have secured the site and are refusing access to outsiders.

Trying to locate those black boxes and hide the evidence.

Well that’s an interesting development. Why is the question.

[dfwgator]

I’m sure we’ll get about as much truth from the Russians as from the Smolensk Crash that killed President Kaczynski.

[GOPJ]

Not a good year for Malaysian Air.

Or their passengers...

Even though two of the three sides (the separatists and Russia) want things to escalate.......................... They have accomplished that murdering plane load of muslims. Girkin aka "Strelkov" claims to have shot down Ukraine Air Force cargo jet at same time and location! Check the page before it is removed.................................................................................................. https://vk.com/strelkov_info 17.07.2014 17:50 (мск) Сообщение от ополчения. "В районе Тореза только что сбили самолет Ан-26, валяется где-то за шахтой "Прогресс". Предупреждали же - не летать в "нашем небе". А вот и видео-подтверждение очередного "птичкопада". Птичка упала за террикон, жилой сектор не зацепила. Мирные люди не пострадали. А также еще есть информация о втором сбитом самолете, вроде бы Су." Facts speak by themselves................................................................. They removed the link after they realized just they stepped on putlers balls.............

“If true, this represents a significant escalation, as the SA-17 is a sophisticated system requiring a whole suite of radar and command vehicles.”

A bunch of ‘separatists’ did not do this. It takes months to learn how to operate and maintain a sophisticated weapon like the SA17.

FoxNews now reporting that ‘unnamed individuals’ in the Pentagon are stating that the SA-17 was operated by the Russians.

If the Ukrainians shot it down, why would you care?
