Figured it needs its own thread instead of the 370, as this is completely different after the possibility of shot down came in. Doesn't look good, reports are coming in that Russia BUK Missle shot it down, but like usual could be super early reaction from media.

I'll update this thread with details as I see them!

- The Boeing 777 plane was flying in an international air corridor over eastern Ukraine when it crashed
- the area in which the plane is reported to have come down is right in the centre of the area controlled by anti-Kiev rebels
- An advisor to the Ukrainian interior minister, Anton Gerashenko, says the plane ...was "hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher." The Associated Press says one of its journalists saw a similar launcher near the eastern Ukrainian town of Snizhe earlier on Thursday.

Talked to a guy in Kiev this morning on the radio. Was news to him. Not sure if it's not getting much airtime over there or he just hadn't listened to anything.

If it was a Buk missile, those are serious pieces of equipment, not shoulder-launched Stinger-type AA but at least three self-propelled vehicles.

I'm pretty sure that's bullshit. We already say the plane shaped crater on the moon. How does a plane get shot DOWN into the moon?

Wouldn't that be funny though?

"Yuri... the entire world is looking for some missing airplane... and we seem to be missing a missile. Is there anything you want to tell me, Yuri?"

Araysars boys going full rogue. No worries though, I'm sure Obama will have stern words and more "tough sanctions" for Putin.

Shit. Malasyans airlines get no break.
I wonder if the UN and nato will do a ground invasion on ukraine. Shooting down international planes is pretty bad. It could have been an US airline plane easily.

Sadly, I'm sure Merlin is right, it will be strong sanctions.

As OP was updated, if you go here:http://vk.com/strelkov_infoyou can see the update from 7/17 17:50 claiming shootdown and showing two videos -- the same videos that are apparently the crash site of this plane.

I don't know Russian, but google translate seems to make it clear enough that they downed an An-26 and warned them not to fly in "our sky". They confirmed it with the videos, which are apparently the MH17 crash videos.

Also.
