A Malaysia airlines plane has been reported shot down / crashed close to the Russia / Ukraine border. Any links possibly to the missing one or coincidence.
16.36 Our Washington correspondent, Raf Sanchez, has the following observation: It's still not clear what happened to today's Malaysia Airlines flight but last night, as the US announced new sanctions on Russia, American officials suggested Russian weapons were behind the downing of a Ukrainian transport aircraft on Monday. Here's what they had to say: "On July 14th, Ukrainians lost an An-26 transport jet, which was shot down from an altitude of 21,000 feet, with eight crew on board. And only very sophisticated weapons systems would be able to reach this height."
For all our civilisation, what a sad sad world we are living in!! My thoughts go out to the immediate families of the passengers on the plane and also to the country of Malaysia who are probably still grieving the losses of the last plane disappearance and as Curb It says what is this going to do to Malaysian Airlines.
I listened to the another report this morning about children on a beach in Palestine - i think - getting killed by gunfire moments before an official cease fire and a spokesman for the other side said it was unfortunate...Unfortunate???? surely we can do better than this when innocent children lose their lives !!!!
As mistrollingin rightly said, the whole world is going bloody mad.
There are an increasing number of countries I wouldn't choose to visit even if I had the cash .....what will it be like for our children & grandchildren ?
Rest in peace all those innocent people involved in this latest tragedy.

Thankfully at the moment Fanny, my three beautiful grandchildren are being bought up in a safe, loving environment in deepest Kent.
As you say, the big fear is when they eventually go out into the big wide world and start traveling on their own and begin to see a very different and darker world to the one they are so happy in at the moment.

Unfortunately the world has been mad for a long time, these things just move to different places. Look back to the early 90's and no one would chose to go to the balkans, but now they are at peace and a lot of people go there, this can be said for many places at various points in time. We never seem to learn.

This I don't think one can use the term rebels and imagine someone in a bandanna pointing an RPG up in the sky at a plane flying at 30,000 feet. Perhaps some clowns have got hold of some high tech weaponry but I would assume today's surveillance will be able to tell key governments what happened. I really hope that US and European diplomats engage Putin at the highest level to manage this situation.
Got a call from my travel agent to change my flights in Sept to KL from Malaysian airlines to Singapore. I tjought nriliamt idea cancek and rebook as noone will wanna fly them and be some great deals!! He said no, there won't be a Malaysian airlines by then!!!

For anyone not wanting to give the Mail another hit
Most importantly, looking like lots of innocent lives lost. RIP all of them.
And i am guessing goodbye to Malaysian airlines.
Thoughts go to the family of those innocent people caught up in the middle of this mess.
There's going to be a lot of Dutch onboard.

The world has always had evil in it. The difference nowadays is 24 hour news channels and the internet shove it in our faces.
