A Boeing 777 Malaysia Airlines passenger plane crashed in eastern Ukraine near the Russian border in the last few hours, Interfax is reporting, citing "a source in the aviation circles."
"Malaysia Airlines has lost contact of MH17 from Amsterdam.," the Malaysia Airlines tweeted. "The last known position was over Ukrainian airspace."
There were reportedly 295 people onboard when it crashed near the city of Donetsk.
An adviser to the Ukraine Interior Minister says the passenger plane was shot down by a Buk ground-to-air missile systems .
The area is a stronghold of pro-Russian rebels who are fighting the Ukrainian army. The separatists deny responsibility (via The Interpreter), but they did claim to shoot down a "Ukrainian Transport plane" in the same area earlier today.
On July 8, the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine closed the airspace to civilian aircraft after a military transport plane was shot down.

Anonymous should I have said 'I schools'? Madam ITK. Call the task force na. Rubbish
Delete@anon 10:40... isn't that a present tense. The poster is most likely still schooling there. If you know better I would advise you correct the speech, not just criticism.
DeleteAnon," I school" is correct.
DeleteSo sad.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching it on CNN now.
Too much evil's being perpetrated in Malaysia, I think the gods are angry; dey dnt want more immigrants comingover to pollute d place....
ReplyDeleteDon't read blogs alone and watching African magic movies. Tune to your news stations at times and get your facts right. It was a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. There was no problem with the airline only that an alleged missile was fired at it from the above post which I believe you read.

ReplyDeleteIt was shut down.. R.I.P
ReplyDeleteSHOT down, madam
Delete'shot' is the right word in this context.
Deleteshot
DeleteMoi, it's shot.
DeleteHere is my take....
ReplyDeleteThere is some sort of beef with the Malaysians and the first plane was also shot down and it landed in that sea or somewhere else we really don't know about but this second one has now exposed what is going on.
There will definitely be a new twist to this.
dumbest comment of the day goes to camila acafa. commenting for commenting sake.
ReplyDeleteMy own question is, when will Ukraine and Russia end this war? Vladimir Putin should just act like an honourable man that he is and withdraw his troops cos innocent people are dying...malaysian govt should do something about their airline cos this joke aint funny anymore.
ReplyDeleteStella I no see my comment oh
