Good question.
They were aiming for Ukrainians, killed Dutch people instead.

Jeez what a mess

But Putin is not responsible, it’s not like those were Russian fighters shooting Russian weapons. /s

But, didn’t the USSR hit a U2 back in early 60’s which would fly at 70K feet..

Igor Bezler: We have just shot down a plane. Group Minera. It fell down beyond Yenakievo (Donetsk Oblast).

Vasili Geranin: Pilots. Where are the pilots?

The pilots of the AN-26 they shot down on Monday managed to bail out and were captured, I believe.

Yep — they actually played them on NBC news tonight —

[GeronL]

I am actually surprised by that
