Laughing rebels filmed the plane as it crashed, gleefully bragging ‘That was a blast – look at the smoke!’ while a fireball rose from the debris.
One of the voices is believed to be militia commander Igor Strelkov, who then penned a triumphant war cry on Twitter, saying: ‘We warned you – do not fly in “our sky”.’
A sickening mobile phone video posted online shows a pall of black smoke billowing over the crash site as three rebels provide an excited commentary.
The extraordinary footage – apparently filmed by the shooters themselves – charts the terrible final moments of the doomed airliner.
Their camera does not zoom in enough to see the plummeting plane in the sky, but the rebels’ voices can be heard talking happily of ‘black spots – these are the parts flying’, suggesting it fell to earth in several pieces.
A voice believed to be that of Strelkov – dubbed ‘Igor the Terrible’ – announces: ‘The plane was hit!’ He adds: ‘Look at those black spots, these are the parts, flying … it was a blast … look, look, black smoke!’
Another rebel, possibly referring to the missile system, laughs and says: ‘It was worth bringing this thing, wasn’t it?’
None of the rebels can be seen in their horrific film, but it appears to be genuine because at the time only they seemed to know what was happening. Ordinary life carries on in the village where they are standing. A bus trundles by and an unsuspecting villager is seen wandering past the camera.
Shortly after the passenger plane was downed, Strelkov – seen smirking in propaganda photos – tweeted a boastful message claiming responsibility.

Too bad it didn’t crash on top of these scum!!
Note to self:
Do not fly on 17 July.
Do not fly on Malaysian Airlines.
Just in time for the Centenary of WWI—the new Lusitania.
23 Americans on board ?
This should get interesting the next 24 hours.
It’s times like this that I remember Sec. Of Defense Gates stating that we need MRAPs for Iraq more than F22 air superiority as he justified killing the F22 program.

Do not fly on 17 July.

I don’t think you’ll need to worry about that last part; after this, I doubt they’ll be in business much longer.
They, the rebels (perps), are a bunch of scum bums.

This is comparable to Biden’s: “Hey Chuck...stand up for us...stand up...Oh...”

Russian troops seize hospital, missile base in Ukraine’s Crimea
(snip)
Russian soldiers disarmed servicemen at a Ukrainian Army missile base overnight Friday. Ukrainian military spokesman Vladislav Seleznyov told a local TV station that some 200 troops approached the building and threatened to charge it if the Ukrainian soldiers refused to give up their weapons.
Crimea’s parliament has set a March 16 referendum on joining Russia, which has been denounced by Ukraine’s government.”

“BUK missile launchers are capable of taking down aircraft the size of a Boeing 777 flying at a cruising altitude of 33,000 feet, meaning the impact is likely to have blown the plane apart in the sky”
I’m pretty sure the evidence that the “rebels” shot it down is pretty strong right now. This and the phone intercepts are pretty convincing.
I think I’m going to give this one some time. There are some claims that the postings are forged. A lot of disinformation is likely going on in multiple directions.
I find it curious that the so-called rebel leader is calling himself “Strelkov.” The nom-de-guerre in Dr. Zhivago used by the husband of Lara turned communist sadistic killer was “Strelnikov.” The derivation of the name relates to shooting. Just odd.
I;m waiting to see which film the White House blames this on.
For the love of humanity, will SOMEONE PLEASE create a hashtag!!!!!!???
They are speaking Russian with an Eastern Ukrainian accent, which doesn't make sense for an FSB colonel.

Hey, at the very least, the media will quit focusing on the illegal alien invasion of the US.
I guess McCain wants another big assed war with Russia.
Good bye America. You been had.
