Malaysia Airlines Plane Crashes in Ukraine With 295 on Board
A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 plane carrying 280 passengers and 15 crew crashed in Ukraine near the country's border with Russia, according to an Interfax report.
A Ukrainian government adviser, Anton Gerashenko, confirmed on Facebook that a plane carrying 295 people was shot down over a town in the east of the country.
Malaysia Airlines tweeted that it "lost contact" with the plane. "The last known position was over Ukrainian airspace." Boeing tweeted that it was "aware of reports."
A Malaysia Airlines spokesman tells Mashable they have no information at this time.
An adviser to Ukraine’s Interior Ministry reports the plane was brought down by a ground-to-air missile, Reuters tweeted on Thursday, and the Ukrainian interior ministry adviser says there are no survivors, according to The Telegraph.
The rebels have reportedly taken over the crash site.
A government minister says Ukrainian rebels shot it down.
The Ukrainian Air Traffic agency reportedly confirmed Malaysian Airlines plane crashed near Ukrainian-Russian border. Reuters, citing Interfax as well, reports that the plane was shot down at an altitude of 10 km above eastern Ukraine, which has been the battleground of a months-long war between Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russian rebels.
The flight was said to be "found burning on the ground in Ukraine," a source tells Interfax. Below is the flight path of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which left from Amsterdam on Thursday.

I at least try to think that it came out of no where and they didn't have to experience the plane "going down". I pray it was quick and they had no idea. So effed up.

Re: Malaysia Airlines Plane Crashes in Ukraine With 295 on Board
Really sad. Schiphol is such an airport hub, there were surely people on board that plane from so many countries throughout Europe and surely the US. Really shocking and sad. I wonder how the EU / US will react.
ETA: to clarify, meaning how they will react once it is determined who shot them down.

CNN was just reporting that there were already 2 cargo planes shot down in the area recently if I heard correctly. So crazy.

Re: Malaysia Airlines Plane Crashes in Ukraine With 295 on Board
Scary re: cargo flights too. I sometimes travel on cargo flights for work, but you rarely hear about their problems. I guess because there is usually just a small crew and only 1-2 passengers.
