A Malaysian passenger airliner with 295 people on board crashed in Ukraine near the Russian border, Interfax cited an aviation industry source as saying on Thursday.

I’m sorry, I should have been more clear. I, and far more learned individuals, have already refuted the logic of the claim that Putin could have been a target. Please see my post #461 on this thread for a quick recap.
Has anybody seen parts of the missile on the ground.Also Fox was reporting the missiles have a signature.
20.40 Britain is reportedly requesting a meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the downing of the Malaysian aircraft. Philip Hammond, the new foreign secretary, has been in the job less than a week and is already facing a major international crisis.
ABC, ground offensive begins against Palestine (off-topic to this thread).
Did Cooper really just say that? Anyone have video of it?
In wake of #MH17 crash, no changes to Obama's schedule as of now. He's scheduled to arrive in New York City at 4 pm and attend fundraisers.— Tim Hanrahan (@TimJHanrahan) July 17, 2014

The caption translates as "Should it disappear, this is what it looks like".
From the Daily Mail:
Malaysian Airlines MH17 passenger plane carrying 295 people including between five and ten Britons ‘shot down with ground-to-air missile’ at 33,000ft over Ukraine near to Russian border
Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 shot down over territory held by Pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine
Body parts and wreckage spread over nine-mile area, suggesting plane broke up mid-air
Whitehall sources say up to ten Britons feared dead, 23 Americans also thought to be on board
US President Barack Obama calls the crash a ‘terrible tragedy’, and offers condolences to passengers’ families
Ukrainian interior ministry says plane was shot down by a BUK surface-to-air missile
President Petro Poroshenko issued robust denial that his forces were involved
Pro-Russian rebels also denied shooting down the plane and blamed Ukrainian air force
Journalists in region say they saw a Buk-type launcher in pro-Russian rebel hands yesterday
My personal (recent) favorite was RT “reporting” that a UFO/kook/9-11 Truther website said that the Rand Corporation had a hand in this Ukraine mess.
In Russia that gets you thrown in prison, or worse, executed.
My how dreadfully sad.
In America, you go to party, in Russia, party comes for you.
Surely! lol
I think that the facts will be very clearly established over the coming days.
For a start, that region has good radar coverage.
Secondly, it's under massively scrutiny from the rest of the world. I bet the US could tell you what each Russian separatist had alone for breakfast this morning, let alone if they were acquiring and firing Soviet surface-to-air missiles.
This is what the CIA lives for. They'll know all the Russian missile signature like the back of their hands. It wouldn't surprise me if they had good enough imagery to determine which finger the firer used to press the 'launch' button.
That of course is only relevant IF a missile were involved.
You gotta’ admire them for being creative, though—there’s liberty in not giving a crap. “Attempted assassination of Vladimir Putin.” LOLOL
Stunning pictures from the crash site here:
How many times have we heard that excuse? The first time I heard about it was the first time I have heard about it. The butt wipe is one big excuse. Everything with the punk is an excuse. He knows nothing. Has heard nothing. Has not seen a thing. Only thing he knows is his golf handicap and has a direct line to LeBron so they can talk hoops. As I have said here repeatedly, he nothing but a stinking punk. A PUNK. I never thought I would ever in my entire life see anyone worse than Jimmy Carter. But, I have found someone more worthless than Carter. It is this punk. Carter is undoubtedly the worse president in the history of this republic, yet he has been surpassed by LePunk (flip off LeBron).
White House placed on lockdown?(ABC reporter)
The Soviets are really good at shooting down civilian airlines and getting away with it. The Punk in the White House won’t do anything about it. Takes too much time off his golf game.
