Yeah just had a look at the last few flights it made back and fourth between Amsterdam and Kuala Lumpur.
Sad that this could all just be because they mistook it for a spy plane that they thought has been watching them.

I wouldn't say that it is normal, but it certainly wouldn't be abnormal. On these long haul flights they will often alter path to try and find favourable winds or be directed by ATC to alter heading due to traffic conflicts etc.

300km sounds like a lot, but over the distance of that flight, it is not much at all.

Let us just pray that this appalling attack on innocents doesn't escalate into something far worse?
And that history doesn't repeat what occurred almost 100 years ago to the day

I am 100% with in that one with sanctions being set by both America and Russia is that why both www wars started too many sanctions being put on Germany

Seriously bad mistake made by some wannebees who have been supplied with state of the art SAM technology.

Knew enough to target the plane but not enough to ping the planes transponder for an ID. Either that or they did and didnt care.

Wouldn't call it a stupid comment. Fits the definition of murder.

Cue World War 3, with all the **** going on all over the world at the moment it's near inevitable.

Why would you fly directly over a war zone? Was this an accountants idea, lets save $x by flying over here instead of going around?

How much $$$ did you save now?

I thought it would be common sense not to fly over a war zone, just in case something like this occurs.

Strike 2 for Malaysian Airways, their board of directors should he held accountable for this too, maybe they should be facing the firing squad with the people who shot it down?

Er, what exactly is stupid with an accurate fact?

Honestly, the world is prepped for another war. Libya, North Korea, Afghanistan etc. A balance is needed and war usually sorts out the population problems too.

At 33,000 feet with many airliners flying over that route, come on now.

Come on now what? Its still a war zone, thats the problem with war is that its not just both sides who get hurt its anyone in the area too and they WILLINGLY fly over?

American Airlines seems to have issued a statement saying they're going to avoid the area? Why it was OK before this happened?

33,000 feet or on the ground its still a stupid idea, then they cry foul play when something goes wrong, in a WAR ZONE.

There are "war zones" all around the world. Banning aircraft from flying over every single country that has conflict would result in chaos.

Agree that there shouldn't be planes flying around these areas, but it's a logistical nightmare and when bean counters are involved...

The route where this plane flew was already restricted at above 32,000 feet.

I'm guessing in the majority of the worlds conflicts the average people don't have their hands on weapons that have this capability to take out a plane from 33,000 feet though.

if you think wannabees shot this plane down think again. SAM's are not an easy piece of kit to use and require extensive training, its not like the movies. The range of the one used is also very, very high tech and something that has to have come from Russia, along with the training required to use it.

Al Jazeera is reporting that anywhere up to 80% of the separatists are Russian soldiers and i believe them. The complex attacks and tactics they are using isn't something that your average malitia could pull together. Doing an advanced ambush with 90 soldiers in order to execute a complex attack on platoons of Ukraine soldiers requires lots of discipline, as does the fire support needed to pull off the attack. From what i have been reading Russian special forces are already causing carnage to the Ukraine soldiers.

In regards to flying over a war zones, all airlines do it, and they regularly fly over places that have surface to air capabilities. You would never get to where you needed to go if you couldn't fly over these zones. There is a lot more conflict going on in the world than most people realise, there is other places besides the western world, just Australia chooses not to report on it.

Some food for thought.

Well maybe they have just been shown why not to do it anymore? The problem isnt having the equipment, the problem is the person operating it, the people with these capabilities are usually some foreign nation who have no interest in shooting down a plane carrying a bunch of tourists.

Put some nut job behind it without adequate training with an ideology wanting to form their own nation and there is your problem.

I think they just sent a pretty clear message to the Airlines.

By wannabees I mean ex Russian military who may have seen something remotely similar 10 years ago....................

Buk SAM is very complex, so they either half knew what they were doing by locking and firing but not pinging the target or they were completely capable, pinged the target and still didn't care. Considering they have shot down a number of AN-26's recently including one in the same location at the same time they sound like they had just enough training to be dangerous.....

This war zone is a little different to other hot-spots around the globe where pilots climb as fast as they can to avoid a chance of getting taken out with an RPG, like in Iraq, Pakistan and so on.

In Ukraine, Military/Cargo planes have been shot down on numerous occasions, and at altitudes that commercial planes operate in. The rebels have been accumulating weapons from the Russians and commandeered from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Maybe the intelligence took longer to filter through to some countries than others.

Good in theory, just not practical. Too many conflicts, and would cost so much more to do. Eg, extra fuel to go around means extra weight to carry which in turn burns more fuel, which would therefore mean flights would end up having to stop for fuel instead of flying direct or only having one stop.

Why do airlines risk the safety of their customers by flying over war zones? I feel that Malaysian Airlines has more questions to answer than the guy who shot the aircraft down. There has already been a few military aircraft shot down in that region so i don't understand why the airliners fly over it.

Takes a bit more then a separatist rpg to shoot down an airliner at 33000 feet, keen to see how Putin eventually deals with this fact.

I feel for the families, I got that same 911 cold wash when I turned on the tv this morning. Civilians getting dragged into a war for the sake of war.

I feel for the families, I got that same 911 cold wash when I turned on the tv this morning. Civilians getting dragged into a war for the sake of war.

When a car gets past you, you just want to go after them, you want to chase them down, you want to pass them. It's primal. But then there's another side to it, where you just completely forget about all the other cars on the track, and you feel like you're in another world. It's just you, at one with the road and the car.
