Malaysian Airlines: Butt Monkey of 2014
Sucks because they are actually quite a good airline.
I guess there could be a connection between this and MH370.

Let us hope the disaster over Donbass won't become the next Lusitania. Reportedly, there were Americans onboard the plane.
It will surely lead to an escalation of the war in Ukraine. In the worst-case scenario, it all may result in a large-scale war between the United States and Russia.
I wonder who shot it down. There are conflicting reports from the Ukrainians and the Russians.
ok heres what probably happened
-ukraine rebels see a transport plane similiar to the jet and shoot the jet by accident
-shit pants upon realization and deny anything
-becomes apparent that both sides have the same weaponry and the Buk missile system was stolen by the rebels
-a new truce since the federal states of novorossiya and ukraine realize they can't keep this shit up
tl;dr ww3 isn't happening rebels fucked up and shoot the wrong plane

Sigh. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

ukraine
the rebels stole the Buk from an army base in donetsk around late june.
conflicts like these are difficult since post-soviet states haven't updated their arsenals in like 25 years and a ton of overlap occurs between states.
Plot Twist!

God that sounds so complicated to combat.
I, for one, wouldn't be surprised if they're the next PanAm.
At this point there's no real proof it was shot down, just a lot of accusations from people with political agendas and sensationalist rumourmongering from an irresponsible media. We have to remember this is an airline that managed to lose into thin air a whole airplane with all on board over the ocean just a few months ago. They don't exactly have the best track record lately for keeping their birds in the air.
it is especially when your enemy has the exact same weaponry as you.
an example would be the BM-21 "Grads" and T-64s found in use by the rebels in early june. could they be from russia? possibly. but a more logical assumption is that both countries have literally close to the exact same tanks and artillery in storage and the rebels probably took them from some rusting army warehouse.
All I can say is thank fuck Ukraine gave up its nukes a few years back.
Russia actually has a very loose control of it's nuclear arsenal. It isn't exactly uncommon for American warheads to turn up missing either. After the dissolution of communism in fact, arsenals were almost basically up grabs in the Eastern states. You have to figure they're still floating around somewhere around there.
yeah thank god kuchma(? i think) gave them up

You know we are so hidden from the world at times. The world has always been crazy. All I can think is those poor innocent people on that plane that had nothing to do with this.
Whats the most sick thing about this is a guy about to board the plane jokes about the plane disappearing as he was waiting, how right he was...
