I’m low on information, but if this is the same type of Malaysian plane that disappeared, could it be that whoever shot it down, considered it to be the disappeared one filled with bombs?

The flight had already crossed 99% of the Ukraine at a steady altitude of 33,000 feet and was about to cross the Russian border. Who would have had the most motivation to shoot it down?

Burning wreckage, bodies scattered after airliner crashes in Ukraine

http://news.yahoo.com/burning-wreckage-dozens-bodies-scene-plane-crash-ukraine-162910650.html

An emergency services rescue worker said at least 100 bodies had so far been found at the scene, near the village of Grabovo, and that debris from the wreckage was spread across an area up to about 15 km (nine miles) in diameter.

Broken pieces of the wings were marked with blue and red paint - the same colours as the emblem of the Malaysian airline which lost track of a Boeing 777 en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur that was carrying almost 300 people.

“I was working in the field on my tractor when I heard the sound of a plane and then a bang and shots. Then I saw the plane hit the ground and break in two. There was thick black smoke,” said a witness, who gave his name only as Vladimir.

geez, they lose track of the flight just after it enters Ukrainian air space and the crash site is on the other side of the country.

Girkin aka "Strelkov" claims to have shot down Ukraine Air Force cargo jet at same time and location! Check the page before it is removed.................................................................................................. https://vk.com/strelkov_info 17.07.2014 17:50 (мск) Сообщение от ополчения. "В районе Тореза только что сбили самолет Ан-26, валяется где-то за шахтой "Прогресс". Предупреждали же - не летать в "нашем небе". А вот и видео-подтверждение очередного "птичкопада". Птичка упала за террикон, жилой сектор не зацепила. Мирные люди не пострадали. А также еще есть информация о втором сбитом самолете, вроде бы Су." Facts speak by themselves................................................................. They removed the link after they realized just they stepped on putlers balls.

That observation pretty much settles it.
