One of the comments on that video said that they posted that to their site after shooting the plane down, but once realizing that they had gotten a civilian plane, they took it all down. Not sure how true that is though…
I’ve seen that too. Person in the image is a GRU (Russian military intelligence) colonel, Strelkov
Translation:
"AN-26 airplane was shot down near Torez, it fell somewhere behind the mine “Progress”.
We warned - do not fly in “our sky”.
And here is the video proof of another “bird-fall”
Another bird fell behind the spoil tip, residential areas were not affected.
No civilians were harmed."
Take this with a grain of salt, although a Ukrainian AN-26 cargo plane was downed a few days ago.
If that is the video of the 777 crashing into the ground. Would you think that if a missile hit the plane mid air there would be smoke on the way down? All i see is a fireball when the “object” crashes.
I wonder how or if this will affect my trip to Russia in 2018 for the world cup
Sure. Possible, but not always the case
Don’t forget about the SU-25 as well: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/10973212/Ukraine-accuses-Russia-of-shooting-down-jet.html
I am mortified.
I saw images, it is fake. There are way too many parts, pieces and people for that to be real. Remember Shanksville?
The war machine, I hear it trying to start up again.
This is right after the plane was shot down. Looks like everyone is detouring around that area of Ukraine.
Amazing / scary that there are so many planes in the sky.
We “accidently” shot down an Iranian passenger jet in 1988…
This world is fucked.
I already don’t care about any of this.
In other news… the new Nazis (Israel) are sending ground troops in to Gaza.
Are you ready for WWIII?
Crazy. I haven’t been watching the news lately…so yeah pretty crazy
It’s all Beyonce’s fault…
The worse part is that noone will ever be held responsible for this.
John Kerry is saying that they have proof of conversation between the Pro-Rebels (aka Russian militants) and the government in Moscow. That’s also where the black box head been sent to. Ironic?
We know that Putin is behind all this mess and is fueling the fire in Ukraine. He may not have shot the plane down or even ordered it to be done, but you know that he is ultimately responsible for this.
It very well may have been an accident. Russia is saying that Ukraine thought it was a Russian spy plane (unlikely) and Ukraine is saying that the Rebels thought it was another Ukraine military plane. It’s pretty crazy that in today’s day in age, we can pretty much pinpoint where it came from, who shot it and we even have the communications of right after it happened.
Hell, the Pro-Russian militants tweeted that they did it! What more do we need?
The ridiculous part is having civilian airlines fly over a warzone where 2 military planes had been shot down just days earlier.
^^^ I agree. That is the sticking point that will most likely hurt Malaysian Airlines.
