Location: North of the 49th Parallel | Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was shot down over the east part of Ukraine today.. Passenger plane. 295 dead, including 23 Americans. Flight originiated in Amsterdam, on route to Kuala Lumpur. At this point, who knows who shot it down but with the range needed to shoot the plane down, it points to the Russians. The Dutch are p*ssed, Ukraine is screwed and Russia is staying silent (for now).

Location: In The Land of Cotton | On the news it is also reporting that the Ukraine lost a plane earlier to a Russian missle. Now, this on top of it. Something we all should be scared of.
If it points to Russian hitting it, WWIII might be on the horizon. |

There's always a reason. #1. Someone is trying to piff someone else off. Aka: start a war. |

Russia seizing the opportunity to invade Crimea was a a catalsyt for this, why Putin should have been stoppped and dealt with. |

Location: SE Louisiana | Well... Now our government is saying it was shot down.... they have a heat signature.... So either we had an AWACS in the air or a satellite overhead. |

| Would the AWACS be able to tell where the rocket was launched from? |

I see nothing has stopped him from his fund raising. I really want to know who pays to go to these big money fund raisers while every thing is falling apart in this country and the world. Honest answer please name one thing this guy has done that actually worked. |

Oh yes... They can track the little air to air missiles from launch to target.... anything ground launched would be no problem.. |

Common Sense and then some
Location: So. California | This is beyond tragic, how could they (whoever shot it down) mistake a commercial airliner for fighter jet? Not possible! My heart goes out to the families of the victims, they never saw it coming. |
