Q: Why did MS17 fly over a war zone? The press conferences by malaysian airlines are just as pathetic for this crash, as they were 3 months ago when their last plane was lost!

alonzo, I noticed that, too. Can't help but wonder why on earth the pilots would fly into a danger zone. If they had stayed on course they wouldn't have been in the disputed area.

Some people was saying that there was dead bodies falling and crashing in their houses and laying in gardens.

Not to excuse the shooting down of a passenger plane, but the Obama=backed Kiev regime in Ukraine has been indiscriminately bombing cities in eastern Ukraine for weeks; killing hundreds if not thousands of innocent civilians.

Nary a protest raised?

Airlines including Qantas Airways and Air Berlin altered their flight paths months ago to avoid Ukrainian air space after fighting flared up in the region, raising questions about why others did not do the same. The issue of whether to avoid flying over conflict zones has come into sharp focus since the downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 on Thursday with 298 people in board.

Why single out this plane when the route is heavily traveled by other air traffic? There's more to this than meets the eye.

Is this proof that MH17 change course into a war zone? A route map compiled by Twitter user Vagelis Karmiros using data from flight-tracking website Flightaware claims to show how the doomed Malaysia Airlines plane took a different flightpath to the ones taken by the previous ten MH17 flights

There is a skunk in the wood pile somewhere with the Malaysian airliner that just 'disappeared' and this one that flew into a known restricted air space and was blown up. Definitely a skunk in the woodpile as we will someday find out.

I see Umpire is using his favorite slang words and working hard to prove everyone wrong, looking for a bar fight as usual.

NOW STUPIDARSE, HOW DO YOU FIGURE THAT?

This was an active war zone that commercial aircraft have been avoiding for months. Why was this plane instructed by flight controllers into a restricted zone?

Someone benefits from escalating chaos. Barry?

Actually try at least 1961. You forgot Bay of Pigs

It was definitely a Russian missile, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. The US has been selling weapons to terrorists since at least 1985 (Arms for Hostages), so God knows what the terrorists have -

Ukraine accused the separatists of carrying out what it called a terrorist attack. American intelligence and military officials said the plane had been destroyed by a Russian SA-series missile, based on surveillance satellite data that showed the final trajectory and impact of the missile but not its point of origin.

There were strong indications that those responsible may have errantly downed what they had thought was a military aircraft only to discover, to their shock, that they had struck a civilian airliner.

Okay say it was a small terrorist group, well somebody provided them with access to a weapon that could cause such destruction.

Let them and Russia battle it out.

US has enough problems stay out of it and stay home take care of the problems here u will have more than a hand full.

I can understand helping to find who did it, because if it's a terrorist group then our planes could be next. And it's better to join the fight with Malaysia than go it on our own later.

But the articles keep saying that this will have a negative impact on relations between the US and Russia, with the US placing more tariffs on Russian businesses. But the Ukraine is a completely separate country from Russia, and even has a different President. So why would this have any impact at all?

I could care less. Keep your butt in USA and take care of our own problems.
