Jesus wept, going on hols to South East Asia and someone shoots you out of the sky, I feel a little bit sick.

By whom though?

Without wanting to cast the first stone, Russia has been trigger happy of late. Two Ukranian planes shot down by missles fired from Russia in the past few weeks:

Shouldn't that read "If responsible, We could all be in deep, deep st" ?

Awful for the passengers, but the consequences are quite terrifying.

This.

If this is proven to be the Russians, this has the potential to be the start of WW3.

[TheSnitch]

Jesus. Still trying to get my head around this and the huge consequences if it turns out to be correct.

[Grandad7184]

if its confirmed as being shot down its every dark day in eastern Europe

[vixen1700]

Wow, just wow.

[darreni]

It'll be blamed on some as yet unheard of rebel faction. If not, the unthinkable could become real.

WHY THE F**K ARE COMMERCIAL/PASSENGER AEROPLANES STILL FLYING OVER THE WAR ZONE THAT IS EASTERN UKRAINE???

Or Israel or anywhere where there are missiles being launched skyward. It beggars belief.
