A Malaysian airliner reportedly with 295 people on board has crashed in Ukraine near the Russian border, on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia Airlines said it had lost contact with Flight MH17 from Amsterdam. The last known position was over Ukraine, it said in a tweet. An aviation source in Moscow told Reuters the plane had been found burning on the ground in east Ukraine. Separatist rebels have been fighting government forces in the region. A defence expert has told the BBC that shooting down a plane at 10,000m (9.7 miles) would have required a long- range surface-to-air missile - possibly guided by radar. That suggests it is unlikely it could have been downed by a portable air defence missile, or Manpad, which has a much shorter range. The only other possibility is for an aircraft at that height to be downed by a fighter carrying air-to-air missiles. The US will have access to satellite imagery that should be able to identify ultra-violet plumes if a long-range surface-to-air missile was fired. A number of Ukrainian military planes have been shot down by missiles in recent weeks. Ukraine has accused Russia's military of supplying advanced missiles to the rebels. Earlier on Thursday, Ukrainian officials blamed the Russian air force for shooting down one of its ground attack jets on Wednesday. Malaysia Airlines in Kuala Lumpur said it had lost contact with the plane Poster Comment: Malaysia Airlines, the official airlines of Robin and her Nesters, has had a terrible run of bad luck recently. But have no fear, President Trayvon has been briefed and he has assured Americans that our Southern border will remain open. Malaysia airliner crashes in east Ukraine near Russia border

Why would a Malaysian passenger jet need downing? For the hell of it?
Yesterday, Obama hit Russia w/additional sanctions related to their hijinks in the Ukraine. The whore media, as I type, is anchoring the 'Russian did it' narrative. This could be a boots on the ground-type incident, ergo, potential false flag.
Yep - I'm listening/watching the speculation going on right now. I just don't believe that Russian has anything to profit by this.
Agree. Putin is too savvy for this. BTW, keep your eye on Mother Israel. They will use this as a distraction to enter Gaza.
I'm watching this right now and you are right. Despite the unfortunate lives lost at this terrible incident, I also believe this to be a distraction as to what is happening on the Gaza front. Very good point. We live in some very violent times right now. We are the last generation to witness what is taking place in the Middle East right now because what is happening in Israel, will effect the world at large next year and I have a foreboding thought that something big is about to happen here in the U.S. next year. Right now, FNC is reporting that from a video they obtained, it showed no plane was in the sky at the moment of the explosion. The explosion did not happen except on the ground! The plane was not subject to air restrictions when it was to take off from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.
I will wager that explosive material will be found on the aircraft remains and it does leave its identifiable fingerprints.

FNC stated that the FAA sent out warning in April to avoid Ukrainian airspace. What did the FAA know and if that is the case why would there not be restricted airspace concerning this plane? Also it is reported that "the rebels" found the blackbox but will not allow Russia to evaluate the cause of the crash. FNC did not state who "the rebels" were in reference to.
