    If I learned anything from the last plane crash it's to never react to the first reports.

    Hopefully that wasn't the case. If so, things could get very interesting.

    This doesn't sound good. Any major reasons why Ukraine would shoot down a Malaysian plane?

    ukraine/russia border. Either one could've shot it. Who knows why? it's a "warzone" over there.

    CNN is reporting that it was terrorists.

    Terrorists = Pro Russia rebels that were given advanced surface to air missiles. By who? Probably Russia.

    Whenever it is innoncent people being the ones that are affected I feel terrible. They had no chance to do anything.

    Terrible.

    The finger pointing begins.

    Ukraine is saying they didn't shoot it down and the separatists are saying they are certain Ukraine shot it down.

    I stopped watching because of all the speculation. I'll wait until they sort it out. With Obama at the helm I would be really surprised if he did anything other then draw a line in the sand.

    If a nation did this we should absolutely step in. Americans died. If this is terrorism there's not much we can do (can't have another Iraq/Afghanistan) but it is yet another reason why we need to secure our borders and get rid of illegal aliens.

    Why? Do you think they were deliberately targeting Americans?

    Or do you think it was some half drunk pro Russian separatists that thought this was an Ukrainian cargo plane?
