A sad side-effect of escalation and high tension :/
A Russian surface-to-air missile shot down a civilian, Malaysia-bound aircraft, during the invasion of Crimea in 2014 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17).
Similarly, the US shot down an Iranian passenger jet in 1988, also killing everyone onboard (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655).
