i thought civilian airlines is considered hands off in conflict areas. regardless, this isn't good at all. I just hope this doesn't cause a world war.


It's far from the first airline shooting incident. The US itself did the same on 1988. My first guess is that the Ukrainian separatists thought another Ukrainian army jet was flying over Donetsk and fired one of those Buk missiles and it actually managed to hit the target without extra guidance on sheer bad luck...
