Something stinks about it, Ukraine are crying terrorism, the rebels have laid the blame on the Ukranian Military...whatever has happened, we can't forget the 300 souls on board who have tragically lost there lives...
EDIT
So initial reports state it was shot down by a single S.A.M, nobody seems sure whether it happened in Ukranian or Russian sovereign territory...I hope and pray the already hostile situation does not blow up even further, but everybody needs to get round the table(Ukraine Gov't, Russian Gov't and East Ukranian Seperatists) and get some dialogue started before it blows up into an all out war
Just been looking at the BBC and Sky's reports and found the following:
- US Vice President Joe Biden is apparently saying the plane was shot down, his quote being "not an accident, blown out of the sky."
- Newly appointed Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond believes there were Britons on-board, but doesn't know the exact figure.
- The Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has said the aircraft did not make a distress call.
It certainly points towards the aircraft being shot down.
