Brenden Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-28354787 So fucked up... A Malaysian airliner has crashed in Ukraine, near Russian border Malaysia Airlines says contact with Flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was lost at 1415 GMT There were 280 passengers and 15 crewmembers on board There are reports of bodies and burning wreckage on the ground The Ukrainian military and pro-Russian rebels have accused each other of shooting down the plane; both sides say they were not responsible Several airlines, including Lufthansa and Air France, say they will now avoid eastern Ukrainian airspace
I Sk1tso I Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Rip em all.... Also rip my 60 dutchies who were on this plane :(
Danny The Great Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 This shit is ridiculous, my grandparents get the exact same flight when they're on their way to the UK to visit.

Hilarious Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 It isn't on a ww3 level at all. I don't think another world war would ever be a good idea at this point in time... for anyone.
Bladez Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 That's sad, RIP. Also ridiculous that no one takes responsibility.
Leeds Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Would hate to be their transport minister, 2nd plane disaster in one year. Bad news.
Luke Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Really sad, leaning towards the rebels having done it.. they deny having these types of missiles but a surface-to-air missile was just seen outside a revel stronghold like a week ago :S

USA will get involved with Russia, Russia have the Chinese on there side. It would be stand of, but its extremely tense and it could spark another war.

Either way tense as fuck

Either way tense as fuck Russians also shot down a Ukrainian fighter jet early today or yesterday... However, I think that Russia, as a country, are no where near stupid enough to shoot down an international commercial jetliner. You're looking at double figure citizens from a bunch of countries (obviously Holland and U.S. offhand), and there is just no way they are going to instigate that many countries simultaneously. It had to be guerrilla warfare or the repercussions for a country would be fucking dire. That being said it COULD BE a pro-Russian or pro-Ukrainian guerrilla group, but national army of either? Sincerely doubt it, just too many repercussions. Look at the Iranian commercial plane we shot down in '88... there's just too much bullshit that comes with it, countries are too smart nowadays.

Again, not at all, no one will go to war with russia, and china wouldn't join in either because it'd hurt their trades too much
