It didn’t take long after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 crashed in the Ukraine for the conspiracy theories to begin surfacing. No, it didn’t take long at all.

I'll add an other crackpot theory.

The Malaysian flag looks similar to the American flag and who ever shot the missile was attempting a terrorist attack on an American airliner.

However, there is no way that, at 33,000 ft, the Malayan flag logo on the tail would be visible from the ground.
