Damn that's alot of planes in the air. I noticed it was sort of isolated, perhaps one side thought it was hostile.

I hate seeing those plane maps. The all look like they are about to crash into each other. I know that's silly but that's all that I think when I see those maps.

The can do that, but you typically take into account behavior of the aircraft. If an aircraft is on a known airway, at FL330 and not jinking, it usually points to an airliner. You dont fire, unless you are the CO of the USS Vincennes in the 1980s.
or the pilot of a Soviet Su-15 interceptor in the 80's

what can you do? I am sure they will say it was a mistake. I think we mistakenly shot down a passenger plane before
Note to commercial airliners: DO NOT FLY OVER WAR ZONES!

Fox Radio reporting it possibly was fired by Pro Russian supporters in the area. I think the world leaders are going to turn on Putin.

A silver lining indeed. Hopefully the UN puts an end to this.

Question is now, who was in control of that Buk launcher near Snizhne.
