Quote:A Malaysian passenger plane with 295 people on board has been shot down as it flew above eastern Ukraine, according to aviation sources.

The plane, which is believed to have been flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, was travelling at an altitude of 10km (6.2 miles) when it was shot down, the Russian news agency Inferfax reported.

A spokesman for Malaysian Airlines confirmed "an incident" involving one of its flights and is expected to release a statement shortly.

The aircraft involved is believed to be a Boeing 777 with flight number MH17, which departed from Amsterdam at 12.14am local time.

Sky's Katie Stallard, in Moscow, said media reports suggest the plane came down in an area where there has been recent heavy fighting amid continuing tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

Thank God we have an experienced foreign policy team in charge at the white house and the department of state. I have no fears at all that they will handle this with the expertise it requires.

After the local news ended this morning, I overheard a CBS Morning News anchor saying that the Russians shot down a Ukrainian plane. I guess this is what they were talking about. Lol. Liberal America.

Unreal.............WTF!

Knowing the Germans and the Euronazis, they probably shot it down themselves and are going to blame Russia to try to draw us into a war and weaken us. I am sure Soetoro will naively take the bait as usual.

Looks like somebody facked up. This could get interesting.

excuse me?

Mental note: Don't ever set foot on a Malaysian Airlines airliner.

Who has been shooting down planes over Ukraine? Not the Ukrainians. And do the Ukrainians even have missles that can take down an aircraft flying at 35,000 feet?

Yeah, this may have been just a "wrong place at the wrong time" situation. Nevertheless, If Russia shot down another nation's plane, there should be repercussions.

Putin owns obama, who is going to do anything to him?

Number of aircraft shot down by the Ukrainians....Zero. Number of aircraft shot down by the Russians or by Russian-linked 'militias' - Over 30.

WH announces that prez is "closely monitoring the situation" in 3 . . 2 . . 1 . .

Obama won't do anything other than another sanction or two.

If Russia shot down another country's civilian airliner then it'll have to answer to the rest of th world. No way for Russia to back out of shooting down a plane full of people no matter if it was a mistake. However, little to early to surmizs all this. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what actually occured.

CNN is reporting that the plane flew into a black hole that was piloted by aliens and caused by global warming.

Yes, but shooting down a civilian airline is a whole different ballgame.

Wasn't it the Russians that shot down that Korean Air Liner a long time ago?

Obama can't do much without the Europeans. Yesterday he slapped Russia with strong sanctions.

That's what I'm thinking. I knew this had happened sometime in the past. I was thinking the Libyans but yeah the Russians did the same I believe.
