Malaysian Airlines Flight Down in Ukraine

[itchyBEAR]

You aren't going to find a shoulder launched surface to air that can hit a plane at 33k ft.

That's seriously f'ed up that a civilian plane was targeted.
Makes me apprehensive to fly, even in the US.

I would like to invite you to take a greyhound on your next trip. I promise you will take your chances flying going forward. Greyhound is about as bad of a means to travel as there is.

I think WJ is right on here. Putin's tough-man shirtless stance will most likely be taking a breather in the weeks to come.

My thought-Separatists using Russian provided gear and trained by them were involved. Although Snowden will blame the NSA and say NSA is Cray Cray. Many will believe him.

Probably were separatists who received crash course training on provided Russian weapon systems and misidentified the aircraft.

Could have done without the political comments. Let's stay classy.

Appreciate your comment. Just neg rep me next time or better yet, publicly pump urself. Oh wait....

CNN and other news sources have run with it, and Ukraine is saying it's authentic.

Since you asked for a neg rep, I'll happily oblige. <---------Sactown

Thanks Sactown-Much appreciated.

Keep it classy.

NEXT TIME!!

That sounds like the shittier kind of missile. What kind of low-budget production is this?

The PATRIOT missile used to do that.

We just increased them yesterday. Correlation with this event or coincidence?
