At 33,000 feet that airliner should have been at a safe altitude above a war zone.
And the No Fly Zone covered Crimea and southeastern Ukraine — not Donetsk.
There is no way to blame the pilot on this one.
im no military guru or nothing but, if a missile will travel 77,000 feet, how are you “safe” at 33,000 feet, as per Oliver North the BUK missiles or whatever will travel up to 77,000 feet...just asking
