7/17/2014 11:53:29 AM

http://www.wral.com/official-malaysian-plane-shot-down-over-ukraine/13819634/

this report implies it was shot down.

uh oh.

7/17/2014 11:56:01 AM

Yep SAM missile from a ground based facility. Not a manpad either to hit it at 33,000.

7/17/2014 11:57:07 AM

short malaysia airlines stock now. they should just fold up shop.

7/17/2014 11:58:27 AM

And this is how WWIII started.

7/17/2014 12:00:04 PM

this is the same date in 1996 that the TWA flight was "shot down"

7/17/2014 12:01:05 PM

this should end really well...

7/17/2014 12:02:12 PM

someone send in Rambo, he'll fix this shit

7/17/2014 12:02:42 PM

Do airlines typically utilize airspace over war zones?

7/17/2014 12:08:39 PM

Ukraine really isn't a war zone, is it?

7/17/2014 12:12:11 PM

Is it not? Didn't Russia just shoot down a Ukrainian warplane yesterday?

[Edited on July 17, 2014 at 12:16 PM. Reason : and shot another one which was able to land]

this site that shows live airline flights shows a lot of flights near the Ukrainian/Russian border.

7/17/2014 12:16:32 PM

^ha they just showed that same website on fox news.

7/17/2014 12:17:19 PM

^^^I realize some shit is going down, but it's not a full-on warzone. not like syria or iraq. at least not yet. imagine this could change that.

7/17/2014 12:20:44 PM

At least Malaysia Airlines knows where this one is..

7/17/2014 12:21:46 PM

shit just got real.

7/17/2014 12:23:00 PM

Suspect in custody



[Edited on July 17, 2014 at 12:31 PM. Reason : x]

7/17/2014 12:30:07 PM

So, I'm guessing separatist shot down this plane, with weapons from Russia. They will then say that it was a spy plane getting too close to Russian airspace.


Shit is about to go down, son.

7/17/2014 12:43:25 PM

295 killed, supposedly

7/17/2014 12:49:56 PM

Yeah you don't have survivors when a plane gets shot/breaks up at 33,000 feet.

7/17/2014 1:08:17 PM

Serious question. If you were on that plane, got shot down, fell out of the plane, and were plummeting towards the earth....would you try to flap your arms?

7/17/2014 1:14:18 PM

I was gonna go with a word record fap, ya know, jizz on the world!

[Edited on July 17, 2014 at 1:33 PM. Reason : add another note]

7/17/2014 1:29:20 PM

^^
i'd prob try to glide like those wingsuit dudes. i doubt it would work but hey might as well have a little fun while you're plummeting to your death

7/17/2014 1:32:22 PM

^correct body position WOULD actually provide some lift, but not enough to give you a graceful water landing

7/17/2014 1:36:09 PM

well maybe i could aim for something cool. "here lies adultswim, who exploded on the statue of liberty"

Now that it loads, theres a very distinct line around the E side of Ukraine now.

Reporting that Putin's plane flew the exact same path and even has similar markings to the Malaysian 777. Might have been gunning for him as he was returning from Brazil with throws up the possibility that Ukraine tried to get him or even more insidious, that he was targeted for assassination by somebody in the Russian military.

7/17/2014 3:27:19 PM

you're watching CNN, aren't you?

7/17/2014 3:30:08 PM

lol

cnn will say this is the other malaysian airline plane that disappeared and their wormhole theory was correct

unfortunately it broke up due to gravitational effects

7/17/2014 3:36:48 PM

Nope. No TV's on or anything. Mainly reading Reddit links, some aircraft message boards and other news websites.

7/17/2014 3:41:58 PM

dtownral is reporting someone on the plane was fat

What would it be like to jump out of a plane at that altitude?

7/17/2014 4:41:48 PM

CNN JUST IN: LOST MALAYSIAN FLIGHT FOUND ON GROUND IN UKRAINE, DEEP SEA SEARCH SUSPENDED

pretty sure you'd pass out from lack of oxygen pretty fast

Confirmed it was shot down now we tracked the missile on radar apparently

7/17/2014 5:02:03 PM

this is not worthy of replacing jeopardy, dammit

7/17/2014 7:15:58 PM

Not only do planes fly over war zones regularly but its rare that a war is taking place that high these days. I fly over syria and iraq all the time.

7/17/2014 7:37:43 PM

Sure.

anyways, I wonder if Russia shot it down just to claim that it was a Ukraine terrorist group and they need to stop the insurgency so they will invade another area.

almost 24 hours of this still being bad

7/18/2014 8:12:54 AM

Ok, the Ukraine should be handling this investigation. Why in the fuck are the black boxes from the plane going to Russia?


You can't fucking do that.

7/18/2014 9:17:12 AM

^seriously? there goes any chance that the evidence won't be tampered with

Seriously.


ICAO standards are pretty clear about who handles investigations like this. It's between the Ukraine (because that's where the plane went down) and the U.S. (NTSB, because it was an American manufactured Boeing plane).
