Have they ruled out Putin as being the cause? After all, he was expecting more support from China regarding Ukraine.

If they had reached cruising altitude that probably rules out weather.

Sounds like a catastrophic equipment failure or human failure.

Film of the plane going down is heartbreaking.

737-800. Not a Max

Nosed over at 20,000 ft

They say it’s not a max, but it sure sounds like a max crash.

Impossible to say at this time with so little information, but I can hazzard a wrong guess that there was a sudden cabin decompression at cruising altitude, the pilots made the resequete rapid descent to lower altitude, but the aircraft was over mountainous terrain and flew into a mountainside.

‘Media cited a rescue official as saying the plane had completely disintegrated”.

How do you investigate that?!

Some CCTV footage was posted. The plane was already breaking up as it nosed straight in at high velocity. Horrifying. Intentional or catastrophic equipment failure. I’d be surprised if the recorders survived.

I don’t see any mountainside. Looks pretty flat

I said it was a wrong guess.

I saw this article that said the airplane crashed in mountainous terrain:
