Oh fer Gosh sakes! Right here is a prime example of Truther911-thought; pure Alex Jones, forward by Jesse “The Body” Ventura.

What's this Ventura award for, my speculation on route diversion as a conspiracy?

Just interested.

Putin's plane with Putin on board returning from Brazil was the target. According to some reports, Ukrainian jet who downed MH17 was also shot down.

KH17 black box is in Moscow.

The deafening silence from NATO peanut gallery.

The context: An alternative to IMF banksters was created. They got nervous and hired a gunslinger who can not shoot straight. Sinking of battleship Maine is perhaps better analogy.

Dangerous times, one way or another.

Girkin is an unleased asset. A very trigger happy asset.

WHOSE asset depends on who is paying the most.

Nice recovery from the people who convinced a good chunk of the world that the CIA invented AIDS to kill non-whites.

An honest mistake. Ukrainian AF thought it is Putin's plane.

Perhaps the first ocurrence of transponder spoofing.

The scum you have been cheering on and spreading disinformation for have just killed 300 civilians including 23 Americans, that is treason in my book.

Yes, because it’s totally believable that Putin would fly his private jet over Ukrainian airspace nowadays.

Ukrainian AF were just waiting to shoot Putin’s jet down the next time he flew across Ukraine on one of his usual jaunts. Not.

From the following discussion:

There's a Buk SAM in Snezhnoe. It was relocated to Snezhnoe after government airstrikes demolished parts of the town

I think you'll find that this is a rebel launch and not Ukrainian or Russian.

A trained (even poorly trained) operator would have all the overhead track management data and would seek permission to shoot - the permission would only come once the military was able to confirm that it wasn't commercial - and the element of doubt would immediately be in place as its a known air corridor

military trained operators would have noticed that object being tracked was civil (they overlay commercial flight tracks as part of track management and object separation)

that aircraft on a military system would NOT have been coming up as anything BUT commercial

untrained operators using big boys toys - and supplied by the russians

they have a hell of a lot of explaining to do - and more so as they don't have the gear to interrogate the black box, so the longer they hold onto it, the more suspicious everyone will be of what they did to supply Buks to the rebels

Any Russian or Russophile would find this a cause for celebration. The first large-scale killing of Americans at Russian hands since KAL 007.

Overheard on the interwebs:

Oh, and for the ‘this plane shouldn’t have been there’ crowd, it was flying at something like 11,000 meters and was apparently one of hundreds of aircraft flying over Ukraine at the time. It is an extremely busy air route from Asia to Europe and clearly no one thought that civilian airliners at 11,000 meters were at risk. They should not have been.

Exactly. Russophile/armchair isolationist/ alex jones truther tin foil hat types can’t process this fact. This isn’t a parlor game. Hundreds of people were killed today by Russia.

Your hero Obama thought it was funny.

President Barack Obama provoked fury in the U.S. on Thursday by casually devoting less than a minute to the deaths of 295 people aboard a Malaysian airliner, as he began an often jokey 16-minute speech about the need to expand America’s transportation infrastructure.

There are no confirmed American dead, an earlier Reuters report claimed that it was feared that as many as 23 U.S. citizens had perished.

The map doesn’t show any of those routes flying over the Russia-Ukraine border

The Amsterdam route goes right over Sevastopol, and there was a warning to avoid flying over occupied Crimea, and especially Russian military base in Sevastopol.

It looks like an evasive action. See Kristinn's map at 91 for another airline.
