I just woke up and found out about the tragedy regarding downing Malaysian passenger plane.
I have no words.
At this point I won't speculate who is guilty.
Having said that, there is statement from farmer
"I was working in the field on my tractor when I heard the sound of a plane and then a bang," one local man at told Reuters at Hrabove, known in Russian as Grabovo.
"Then I saw the plane hit the ground and break in two...."
Plane of this size being hit by surface to air missile on high altitude simply disintegrate into smithereens in midair, no way it hits the ground and brakes into two.
Also on this altitude it is impossible to see by naked eye what it is. A radar will give location and cruise speed.
Air corridors for commercial planes are well known by everybody who should know, both by Ukrainian and Russian Air Force.
Both of them would have to be out of their minds to shut down passenger airliner.
Same with the rebels, if they knew what it is, they would have to be out of their minds as well.
The question is did they have the needed hardware to shut down airliner on this altitude?
A deleted tweet by the Donetsk People's Republic showed a BUK-M1 system in the group's possession.
And here is the tweet link : twitter.com/RobPulseNews/status/489815856135036928
This is not ocean that plane vanishes, all evidence is on the ground.
I do hope that common sense prevail and there will be some joint international investigation.
For now I don't know what to believe (who is guilty)
