Bodies rained down on Ukraine village after plane disaster
Reuters ^ | July 18, 2014 | BY ANTON ZVEREV

First came the loud explosion that made buildings rattle: then it started raining bodies.

One of the corpses fell through the rickety roof of Irina Tipunova's house in this sleepy village, just after Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 exploded high over eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists are fighting government forces.

"There was a howling noise and everything started to rattle. Then objects started falling out of the sky," the 65-year-old pensioner said in front of her grey-brick home.

"And then I heard a roar and she landed in the kitchen, the roof was broken," she said, showing the gaping hole made by the body when it came through the ceiling of the kitchen in an extension to the house.

The dead woman's naked body was still lying inside the house, next to a bed.

There are plenty of pictures of the wreckage showing human remains.

Well when your president is a Wimpy, he’s certainly going to be eating lots of hamburgers.

I’m not trying to minimize this incredible disaster or be in any way humorous but I don’t know how Malaysian’s Airlines can survive. This was nothing to do with them but what people think is another matter.

May God bless those innocents victims.

I’m am worried big time now. I don’t trust Putin, I don’t trust O or whoever manipulates him but it seems things are spiraling out of control at a vastly increasing rate.

To think our fathers fought to stop WWII, it seems as if they only delayed things.

What no pictures of dead, naken women?

Oh don't worry - Reuters will get them as soon as they get a photographer there. in the meantime, they have this bit of sensationalism in the article: First came the loud explosion that made buildings rattle: then it started raining bodies.

Sounds like the pro-Russian amateurish rebels thought it was a Ukrainian military cargo plane.

That sounds like the best explanation so far. A warplane wouldn't be flying at that height.

They are a government-owned airline (strategic industry, don't you know) full of appointed political cronies and their relatives. Everyone makes a buck too through kick-backs when they buy a new plane, or a fuel contract. The government also makes sure they have the best landing rights in the country and negotiates for them overseas. So don't worry, they aren't going anywhere.

Rebel are using Russian equipment, and have been trained to acquire and fire, but not well enough trained to be able to identify an identifying signal from an aircraft transponder.

They just wanted a chance to open fire and open fire they did.

Well, their moron leader Strelkov was apparently crowing about downing an AN26 just minutes before the news of the 777 came out.

I was unaware of any of that, thank you. Good points as well.
They may not be going anywhere but will people fly on them? Do they even have a choice in Malaysia?

United and AA survived, we gave them billions and they gave us charges for carry-ons.

God does the delaying. History is His timeline. Those who choose to die for one’s friends and provide support for that timeline are examples of the greatest love.

As for this catastrophe, why Malaysia? And did you watch Putin give his little speech? Wow was he nervous! No bear wrestler this time. Couldn’t even look into the camera.

This is what happens when the United States starts promising “flexibility” to a medieval savage like Vlad Putin.Looks like Governors Palin and Romney were right all along.


Exactly right.

A "disaster" is an accident or an act of God.

This was not a "disaster." This was a crime.

Oliver North said on Hannity last night that the type of weapon used to take down the plane was very sophisticated and takes two years of training to operate, not some weapon launched from some guy’s shoulder. He also said there was likely Russian military supervision involved.

On another subject, he said Hamas is controlled by the Iranians and they are taking direction from Iran, launching rockets at Israel.

Not to worry. Hillary said Europe needs to take the lead on this one. That takes pressure off of President Leading-From-Behind.
