Another Malaysian plane down

[Woodsey]

Unbelievable, twice in a year, might have been shot down apparently.

RIP to all on board

Reports are saying it was definitely shot down, and as it was flying at 30,000ft+ it would be a serious anti-aircraft missle, not one of those portable jobs.

Not good.

In that case the shit is going to hit the fan, more so if the Russians are involved or supplied the gear to do it.

"CNN just reported on-air that pro-Russian separatists claimed to have shot down a second Ukrainian military plane shortly before the report of MH17 being missing. They were careful not to say the planes were one and the same, but the lack now of a downed Ukrainian plane does make one wonder."

...and where did the pro-Russian separatists get hold of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buk_missile_system ?  That's some serious military hardware.
