Yeah that's what I thought when I saw this, must be destroying their rep as an airline.

Malaysian might be culpable for flight plan over war zone. Even if they dodge that, they are done as an airline.

(but realize, Malaysian goes belly up, somebody else steps in, or is brought in, the planes get a new paint job, new stationary is ordered, and everything will be pretty much back the way it was)

BTW, why weren't those fucktards with the plastic buckets over their heads and the voodoo beads up their butts keeping an eye on the flight ????????

There's still no concrete conclusions as to who fired as of yet. I've read conflicting reports.

Still, extremely sad.

Quote:A Malaysian airliner was shot down over eastern Ukraine by militants on Thursday (today), killing all 295 people aboard, a Ukrainian interior ministry official was quoted as saying by Interfax-Ukraine news agency.

The news stations are all speculating over who shot it down.

My money is on the Russians.


Would that be the same Malaysian plane which disappeared on route to Beijing about 4 month ago and hasn't been heard from since?

Big Grin

Sorry for the bad taste in attempted humor.

I smell a war coming.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
