oh and by the way they showed both the video footage multiple times


twilight zone..
I guess your not the only one who smells BS. They show pictures of these jet engines sitting right next to each other after getting shot out of the sky? lol...............it's a joke. Who knows what happened we never will like many other things. Staring at the TV and nodding your head seems to be how it goes for many though.

Stupid system maybe. But the pilots obviously thought they were safe and had THOUSANDS of similar flights to back that up. The pilots weren't stupid


I would say someone with a SAM that hits 32k feet and firing at random craft was stupid


You clearly dont know what you're talking about. No air to air action? Then what is this?

Ukraine Accuses Russia of Shooting Down Fighter Jet - WSJ




Ukraine and Russian jetfighters have been firing at each in recent weeks, and several aircraft have been shot down in the area a few weeks prior to the Malaysian Airlines disaster. So you are dead wrong about that.

Probably CIA shot that bird down. We of course will never know.

Just as there is wreckage from planes shot down over Vietnam, England, Germany, Iraq, Iran and as there is wreckage from the Space Shuttle Discovery, Challenger etc.

So lie the remains of Malaysia Air Flight Number Seventeen.
You may "buy it" I don't. You shoot a huge passenger jet down out of the sky the sheet lays all over not right next to each other. It is just looks to nice IMO. How do two jet engines after being shot out of the sky just happen to land on the ground right next to each other. Very convenient.

So many people died and we saw the horrible images incl. the passports and other stuff that amazingly have not been destroyed during this crash. The bodies were almost like they were put there which to us was so weird to see since we saw the fire and crashing from this height you don't think anything is left.

The people must have lived for seconds or minutes and realizing what was happening which makes it even more cruel.

To me it is scary that terrorists can do this and it seems no flight will be safe anymore and with Obama releasing 5 of the worst terrorists who probably have more hate then before it will be even more dangerous.

Especially since these muslims believe in getting virgins if they die. If other die they believe it is over and they rather live to the fullest while muslims seem to find satisfaction with giving their families money since other muslims pay each family for giving them their son or daughter to become a jihadist.

This group who may have done it may or may not be muslims but they have the same goal!
What the heck does Islam have to do with this ?

Well "dogfights" are a thing of the past. The Red Baron is a lost art. Now it's all seeing eye missles and the like. If you paid attention all flights have been avoiding that region and for good reason. Those missles can get ya.

There is no war between Ukraine and Russia and there was not any jet battle between them at all.
Please, don't spread this BS over internet.

Now these morons want anti missle systems on passenger planes. How about not flying over a war zone? Just insanity. we will all pay though.
