A Malaysian Passenger Plane Crashed In East Ukraine
- ashbrahma 12y agoThere are some early reports indicating that the plane was shot down. Absolutely heartbreaking!
- antr 12y agoThe Russian/Ukranian border isn't very safe these days, specially with a plane being shot down just a few days ago... and this just happened a few hours ago: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/17/ukraine-claims-plane-shot-by-russian-missile http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/17/ukraine-claims-...
- magnacartic 12y agoPretty ignorant to be flying over a conflict zone. I'm sure some common sense would have avoided this.
- rooneel 12y agoAll the reports have clearly stated 'international air corridor'. Pretty ignorant to be commenting on the issue without actually reading the article. I'm sure some common sense would have avoided that.
- tzs 12y agoThis particular article says nothing about an "international air corridor". You owe him an apology for accusing him of not reading the article when you clearly did not read it yourself.
- magnacartic 12y agoThanks, tzs. So what if it's an international treaty, would you expect terrorists (possibly, wanting to boast of their hardware superiority) to honor it? There's always a risk in everything, but there are some known risks that we should never take. Qantas, Korean and US airliners were already avoiding Ukraine airspace altogether even without an ICAO ban. Sorry if the post hurt your feelings, no malice intended.
- donohoe 12y agoFrom the NYTimes: The Interfax news agency said the airliner, with 295 people on board, crashed in Ukraine near the Russian border and that it may have been shot down. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/18/world/europe/malaysian-jetliner-missing-over-ukraine.html http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/18/world/europe/malaysian-jet...
