This is what happens when war rules!

Ukraine this time and Palestine/Israel next?

Like with the Iranian aircraft loss due to an American warship missile firing in 1988 during the Iranian/Iraq conflict, aircraft, civilian or not, can be targets due to mistake or design.

Horrific.   Those poor souls now lost

Does anyone one the ground actually have the facilities to reliably take down an airliner at 30,000 feet...

Also a long time between when the plane disappeared to the announcement, about three hours and no confirmation that the aircraft that crashed is actually the one that went missing....

Nevertheless there's another 300 or so families waiting for news

Yes, both on the ITN and BBC news they have confirmed Russian made missile systems are either with Russians or Russian separatives in that area of the Ukraine that can bring down aircraft at that altitude.

I like the way the news says about 9 Britons and 23 us citizens on board. Don't they care about the rest.

Probably not

[cem_devecioglu]

there seems no evidence at the moment..  but some made plans to abuse that crash..

When that is stated in these cases it emphasises how if USA citizens in particular are killed by a foreign power then the implication is that retaliation will be severe.  It is a sad fact that although we are all meant to be equal in the eyes of God, when it comes to the likelihood of a serious political action against those responsible it takes the loss of American or European lives to really make it happen due to the military power in the West.

Wrong, but a fact of human life.

we are all meant to be equal in the eyes of God,

That depends on what God is worshipped

[omega3000]

Terrible , rip all those that died 

[Lizzie_Zoom]

we are all meant to be equal in the eyes of God,

That depends on what God is worshipped

There is only one God as worshipped by the major world religions

That god is OIL, Texas tea.,but in a few more years the most fought over commodity will be water.

But in the words of the Ukrainian/russian fighter. Whoops ive done it now.
