Somebody get those ukrainians a better camera and a weedeater STAT!
All I could think about while watching that video was that the Ukraine must not be home to any poisonous snakes with people carelessly walking through grass that high.

I assumed this was at the heart of the separatists' reasoning to begin with...

Shouldn't there be a no-fly zone for civilian passenger jets?

Are Ukrainians required to have dashboard cams like Russians are? Might get some interesting youtube videos posted in the next few hours.

That's where I am going to look first when my wife finally agrees to bring over a young girl from out of the country to come stay with us as a live-in nanny.

I'm not blaming the airline and it's a terrible tragedy, but it could have been easily avoided. It's like driving around the hood instead of through it to save a couple minutes. It's avoidable.
I imagine dozens of jumbo jets fly over this region every day. Just a quick glance at the map, and you have some pretty popular Northern Europe to SE Asia routes:

Well, hopefully it was a quick end for the passengers. That'd be a horrifying way to go.

I haven't see any such info released other crew vs. passengers.

"An aviation source told the Reuters news agency the wreckage of a burning aircraft had been found on the ground.
Aviation expert Major Charles Hayman told Sky News: "It's highly likely this aircraft was flying along a fault line between Russian and Ukrainian defences.
"It’s possible the Ukrainians flapped a bit, thought it was hostile and shot it down.
"Perhaps it was confusion at the Ukrainian air defence centre.
"It looks like someone failed to recognise this was a civilian plane and shot it down."

Get ready to hear a lot about the Donetsk People's Republic.

So it looks like everyone was avoiding it and the Malaysians were the dumb ones to go right through?

OP can probably take "Evidently" out of the title

Just a guess, but I bet a lot of them were conscious all the way to the ground
