Report: Malaysia Airlines flight crashes in Ukraine [/71]

The Russian separatists shot down the plane, bragged about it, then found out it was a passenger plane, pulled the photo's and tweets.... the black boxes will go to the Kremlin by way of the puppet separatists. This mystery isn't a mystery, but proof will be difficult if not impossible to come by. The blame game started right away... after a week of muddying up the water, we won't know who or what happened and likeliest answer may be interstellar aliens shot down the plane.

Works for me.
 
Re: Report: Malaysia Airlines flight crashes in Ukraine

Malaysia Airlines have held a press conference making it very clear that nobody should interfere with the black box.

If the seperatists really did interfere with it, it`s data will be disgarded as no longer usefull.

Those are not the correct numbers. The numbers are as I stated in a previous post. 23 Malaysians, not 23 Americans.

154 passengers from the Netherlands
27 passengers from Australia
23 passengers from Malaysia
11 passengers from Indonesia
6 passengers from United Kingdom
4 passengers from Germany
4 passengers from Belgium
3 passengers from Philippines
1 passengers from Canada

The nationality of 47 passengers are unknown at this time.

Now where is that Russian forum member who constantly defends everything the Russians do?

Everyone seems to be reporting something different. Are you sure that your numbers are correct?

Yes, Mark Rutte, our prime minister has stated that there will be flags at half mast at government buildings, both central as local. All our diplomatic buildings have been asked to also have their flags at half mast.
 
Re: Report: Malaysia Airlines flight crashes in Ukraine

In April, the Federal Aviation Administration ordered U.S. airlines to avoid airspace over Crimea, the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. It said the region posed the "potential for conflicting air traffic control instructions from Ukrainian and Russian authorities" and the "misidentification of civil aircraft."

Did other airline officials issue a similar warning?
 
Re: Report: Malaysia Airlines flight crashes in Ukraine

One of the reasons I never get mad about possibly missing a flight.

Could you try being a bit more vague?

Something must happen. So think of something.
 
Re: Report: Malaysia Airlines flight crashes in Ukraine

Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen says he is "profoundly shocked and saddened" by the crash. "Much is unclear about the circumstances of the crash. However the instability in the region, caused by Russian-backed separatists, has created an increasingly dangerous situation," he said in a statement.

I wonder what to expect from this statement.

Milaysian Airlines? The same ones that still doesn't know where one of their aircraft is?

Pretty stupid, especially since the FAA had prohibited US flights over that area. Apparently you didn't know about this either.

Nearly three months ago, on the "Special Rules" section of its site, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration put out an order prohibiting American pilots, airlines, charter carriers, and everyone else over whom the FAA has direct jurisdiction, from flying over southern parts of Ukraine.

later NOTAM, which warned planes about hazards in broader areas of Ukraine, apparently including those the Malaysian airliner flew across.

Expect no more commercial airliners to fly over the area.

Do you have a reference to the above information?

I don't know if surprised is the right word...after all, they've worked wonders with Cuba and North Korea!

23 dead Americans are sort of our problem, but Ukraine's territorial integrity isn't.

"Sort of?"

The entire reason why we have a country is so that we can be safe. Sort of like being a made man in an organized crime syndicate.

Good idea! I was thinking the same thing, plus hunt down the people responsible and try them for mass murder. And demand a weregild of $1,000,000 from the rebels to be paid to the victims next of kin.
