After the Malaysia Airlines passenger plane crashed on July 17 in Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast with 298 people on board, Kremlin-backed enthusiastically claimed credit, saying they thought they had shot down another Ukrainian military transport plane. “We did warn you - do not fly in our sky,” Kremlin-backed separatist leader Igor Girkin, a Russian intelligence service officer, wrote on his official Vkontakte soon after the tragedy.
Though when the gravity of the mistake became obvious, the Russian-backed insurgents backpedaled and claimed innocence.
The statements of Girkin posted on his Vkontakte page on July 18 appeared to be a lot more confusing.
According to Girkin, the plane’s passengers were already dead when the plane went down.
“I just talked to two people who were gathering corpses, both from Shakhtarsk (the city where the plane crashed) so they came to the spot only 30 minutes after the tragedy. I am writing from their words. They said many corpses were totally bloodless and looked like blood had clotted long before the catastrophe,” the leader of Russian backed insurgents wrote.
Сiting the same locals, Girkin also said a strong putrid smell was noticed in the area of the plane crash. “This smell could not have appeared in a half an hour in any weather, and it was cloudy, not very hot yesterday,” he wrote. According to the terrorist leader there was a special medical cargo on board.
In the same statement Girkin-Strelkov admitted plane pilots were alive and did die as a result of the crash. “The cabin, and its front is in a good condition, is literally spilled with their blood all over,” he wrote.
Meanwhile Girkin’s posts claiming the credit for shooting down a Ukrainian AN-26 military transport plane were deleted and his official group on Vkontakte started backpedaling, stating that information was not confirmed and was just reposted from another source.
“The plane has just been taken down somewhere around Torez (Donetsk Oblast). It lays there behind the Progress mine,” Girkin’s statement from July 17 read. His comrade, Pavel Gubarev, self-proclaimed governor of Donetsk Oblast, also reported the plane crash. “Just shot down the plane somewhere around Snezhnoe,” he wrote on his Vkontakte page, also some 20 minutes after the plane fell down.
Both Girkin and Gubarev seemed to be proud of the act, announcing this news on social networks.
Although the new version of the plane crash provided by the insurgents seems absurd enough to ignore, there actually is proof that it is wrong. The video footage from inside the plane just a few moments before it took off was found on the Instagram account of one of the passengers, Malaysian native, Md Ali Md Salim, who was flying back home from Amsterdam. A short 13 seconds video shows other passengers stowing their luggage.

Yes. In fact, ALL commercial airlines will soon begin flying only corpses.
Because corpses don’t cause problems for the flight crew.
LOL
Suddenly, I’m remembering an episode of the new BBC ‘Sherlock’. MI6 had filled a jumbo jet with dead people in order to foil a terrorist plot.
Makes me wonder.
Obama would have said something as equally dastardly had the shoe been on the other foot
I do not doubt that.
These stupid separatists may have just shot down Putin’s grand plan for Ukraine.
It's a "fundamentally transformed" wacky, wacky world out there. The whole world has gone insane. Marxism, Communism and Socialism can do that to you in a heartbeat.
Then there's the old Polish joke of an airliner crashing and the headlines blared "Plane Crashes Into Cemetery. Hundreds of Bodies Found!"
I wouldn't be surprised if these jokers claimed that as well.
Dead already.
Straight out of Sherlock.
Coventry plot.
To an untrained eye, it could look exactly like that....
I don’t think they were corpses when they boarded.. but they are sounding like democrats trying to blame 9/11 on Bush, Rove, Cheney and a cabal of CIA/Fox/NSA/ESPN/CNN/FBI and the Koch brothers in conjunction with Israel and the joos.
What absolutely astounds me is the people who piss and moan about the corrupt governments but are the first ones to believe the total bullshit put out by them and their buttlicking lap dogs in the media. This plane could be that Malaysia 777 that went missing in March and just crashed to destroy evidence of their crimes. Government is M.O.B.
I love to get somebody going, agreeing with me about the criminal element in government, how the whole of government is nothing but lies and corruption and then mention this airliner thing and how it could be the missing plane. Love to see that face turn red and the denial set in then hear the words, “WELL THEY WOULDN’T LIE ABOUT THIS!!!!!” I have to giggle at the obtuse angles they twist trying to justify what they were just condemning. HAHAHAHAHAHA
They were dead already? That’s their story?
Answer me this: How do satirists stay one step ahead of reality?
...
o.O
Did you put any thought into that statement, before hitting “post”?
I cannot imagine a clearer admission of responsibility.
A plane carrying children from Central America crashes into the Rio Grande. Where are the survivors buried?
Answer: Chickopee, MA is about 60 years.
The Russians are mighty skilled at shooting down unarmed passenger planes, aren’t they? Certainly better than coming up with excuses for doing so.
