True. Civil aircraft usually continue to fly over dangerous regions. Planes still go above Syria and Iraq even with the situations in those countries. I guess that will change now after this accident. 

Well I heard in this thread that rockets do not usually travel that high. What could be the reason? Or is it that they just do not usually travel that high?

I'm really not sure. I don't have much knowledge about missiles but something shot this plane down. Its not the first time planes have been shot down so I think missiles can reach that height.
