Malaysia Airlines Flight (MH17) Crashes In Ukraine

(CNN) -- A Malaysia Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has crashed in eastern Ukraine, Russian news agency Interfax reported Thursday.

Malaysia Airlines confirmed that it lost contact with Flight 17 and that the plane's last known position was over Ukrainian airspace, the airline said on Twitter.

The aircraft was "shot down" over Ukraine by "terrorists" operating a Buk surface-to-air missile system, according to the Facebook page of Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry. There were 280 passengers killed as well as 15 crew members, Gerashchenko's post reads.

"We do not exclude that the plane was shot down and confirm that the Ukraine Armed Forces did not fire at any targets in the sky," Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said, according to his website.

The jet is a Boeing 777, according to Interfax. The plane reportedly went down near the border between Russia and Ukraine.

here is what we need to do in the middle east. Tell everyone who wants to fight eachother gather @ point A. Everyone who wants peace and not to fight gather @ point B. Nuke point A. Problem solved no more war.

If they shot down an airliner with a Russian missile system then that is going to be really bad for Russia. That said lets wait and see for the investigation.

they have darker color hair close enough.

What?

What?

Ukraine is not in the middle east....

Yeah.

Now is not the time to jump to conclusions and try to punish a group that claims that they shot down an airplane.

/shakes head sadly

just let it go...

But it is in the Middle of Eastern Europe!

But...but.

Fine, but I'm leaving a picture.

Two things:
Not a good year to fly to Malaysia. Prayers to all the families that lost their loved ones.

Second, a lack of communication or communication may have mistaken the airliner as an enemy plane. This happened a few years back China/Korean territory where the airplane was instructed not to go into their airspace and resulted being shot down. Ukraine and Russia is in a very hostile standoff at the moment. I hope this incident eases the tension between these two nations.

Wait, PARKER is a teddy bear?
