Malaysian passenger plane crashes in Ukraine near Russian border -Ifax



http://news.yahoo.com/malaysian-passenger-plane-crashes-ukraine-151320569.html

MOSCOW, July 17 (Reuters) - A Malaysian passenger airliner with 295 people on board crashed in Ukraine near the Russian border, Interfax cited an aviation industry source as saying on Thursday.

It said the Boeing plane was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. Reuters could not immediately confirm the Interfax report.

Ukraine gov't says Buk missile that downed plane fired by separatists

Related: (News10-Sacramento) (FoxLA)
Anton Gerashenko, an adviser to Ukraine's Interior Minister, said on his Facebook page the plane was flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters (33,000 feet) when it was hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher.



Coincidence? There is more live video coverage than written coverage at this moment in time. Also some conflicting reports. Also stated, Russia shot down a cargo plane on Monday.

How We Got To The Point That A Malaysian Plane Was Shot Down Over Ukraine

http://thinkprogress.org/world/2014/.../mh17-ukraine/

"And according to a screenshot being passed around Twitter, rebel leader Igor Strelkov — who many suspect to be a member of the GRU, Russia’s external intelligence service — may have taken credit for shooting down the plane, thinking it was Ukrainian. That theory is being backed by several prominent experts on the region, including Strobe Talbott, president of the Brookings Institution, and former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul. “Russian GRU officer Strelkov admitting that he ordered the missile strike against the Malaysian jet,” McFaul tweet out from his account."

I doubt this was an accident or mistake. It just seems too convenient with its ramifications. And it seems odd to me that O didn't know about it pryor to P telling him. Unless if it happened while they were on the phone. And what is Russia doing with the box? Doesn't that belong to Malaysia? And wasn't it found on Ukrainian soil?

The USA funded the overthrowing of the Ukrainian government by siding with Neo Nazis (literally). They have had to remain at arms length from this event. The whole time having their grubby CIA hands all over it.

Several months ago the US rolled huge number of troops into Poland for "military exercises" This was no random training drill. Its a very controlled troop build up. The US have been champing at the bit to have troops on the ground in the Ukraine ever since the start of this. 

This could spark a superpower war

Cobber is absolutely right on this! The U.S. needs to stay as far away from this as possible! It's time for the U.E. to step up and take care of their own. This is a choice between Nazis and Commies! The U.S. has no dog in this hunt!

Economically this plane-crash and the escalating Gaza-war are a disaster. It will lead to higher prices for energy stopping economic growth. 

A lot of wars, from Nigeria, Ukraine to Gaza/Israël are energy-related. Wars are not natural phenomena but organized (crime).

Now they are saying at least 1 American was on the plane. Yesterday,everyone was going on and on about there being 23, then later on in the evening, they claimed they didn't know if any were on the plane.  So which is it? It makes no sense.

hachiban08- Welcome to modern journalism! They are in such a hurry to get a scoop on the other networks that they just blather on and report rumors and rumors of rumors, never checking facts, never checking sources! Speculating on "WHO, WHAT, WHY and WHEN" instead of doing real reporting! Most of the talking heads are chosen because they look good on TV and can read from a teleprompter. There is no requirement that they have any intelligence.

Yep - at least three or four days before anything coherent and consistent starts to come out, and weeks or months before it starts to make any real sense.

Honestly, I don't think it's any more than an unfortunate coincidence. AIDS researchers don't strike me as a legitimate target to anybody - certainly not enough to risk an international incident in an already politically charged situation anyway.

I'm sure the US knows exactly who fired this missile. The Ukraine is an active theatre of war and the US would have had swarms of satellites watching exactly what was happening in real time.

They know who fired it and where it was fired from.

Local people in Ukraine claim the plane was shot down by a jet-fighter. The remains of the plane should be investigated to find out what has happened. (Certainly if it is a second plane from the same company involved in such an accident). 

The US/NATO and Russia is monitoring the area and if they have evidence be open with it. http://www.prisonplanet.com/was-malaysian-airlines-mh-17-accidentally-shot-down-over-ukraine.html

rickster58. You are 100% correct and our people knew all of this information with in seconds or minutes of the Missile being launched. Other countries know the same thing. I believe that our President and the other leaders are afraid to say that it was fired from Russian soil and show the proof.Because if they did that,then someone would have to enter Russia and arrest the guilty people and take them for trial. The US Army is the only Army on this planet that is capable of doing this,but Obama does not have the courage to give an order like that.It is not that America or our soldiers are afraid to this,but our President is afraid of Putin. I think that Putin gave the order, just to see if he could push the envelope a little more and he did and he is going to get by with it.----- We badly need a real President.------- With all of the dead Virologist,it would not surprise me if a deadly Viral Flu starts some time in the near future.

MH17: separatists block international observers from crash site

Gunmen fired shots into the air in a warning to OSCE monitors visiting site where Malaysia Airlines plane came down

Representatives from the OSCE arrive at the crash site surrounded by pro-Russian fighters

  • 3:20AM BST 19 Jul 2014

Gunmen prevented monitors from the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe from observing the site where a Malaysian airliner crashed in rebel-held eastern Ukraine on Friday, the rights and security watchdog said.

Calling their behaviour "impolite and unprofessional", an OSCE spokesman said some gunmen in the area seemed intoxicated while others would not let the team of about 25 observers look at the wreckage of the Boeing 777.

"We had expected unfettered access, that's the way we work," Michael Bociurkiw told a news conference.

"Unfortunately the task was made very difficult. Upon arrival at the site ... we encountered armed personnel who acted in a very impolite and unprofessional manner. Some of them even looked slightly intoxicated."

He denied that the observers had been fired at by pro-Russian rebels, but said one gunman fired shots into the air, seemingly to scare off some civilians.

Earlier, the OSCE's permanent council chairman, Thomas Greminger, told Reuters monitors had not been able to secure an access corridor for the crash-site and that investigators had stayed there for only about 75 minutes before setting off back to Donetsk.

The United States said it was "very concerned" about the way the OSCE monitors had been treated.

"Those who say they are going to participate in or welcome this investigation need to give unfettered access and obviously, we didn't see that when these individuals were there for 75 minutes," U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told a regular news briefing in Washington.

The United States wanted to see "a credible, international investigation," she said, adding that the U.S. government had offered to send personnel and resources from the National Transportation and Safety Board and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Psaki said the Ukrainians had accepted the offer and the NTSB and FBI would each send at least one investigator, although it was unclear when they would go.

"And we of course will be responsive to their needs moving forward," she said.

World leaders have called for a rapid investigation into the shooting down of the airliner, which could mark a pivotal moment in deteriorating relations between Russia and the West. The United States and Britain said a surface-to-air missile appeared to have been fired from rebel held territory.

There were no survivors from the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, a Boeing 777. The United Nations said 80 of the 298 aboard were children. It was the deadliest attack on a commercial airliner and scattered bodies were seen over miles of rebel-held territory near the border with Russia.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power told a meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Friday it was unlikely the separatists could have effectively operated that missile system without help from knowledgeable personnel.

Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin called for an "impartial, open investigation of what happened," and warned against any attempts to prejudge the matter.

Bociurkiw said the OSCE intended to visit the site again on Saturday and spend the whole day there. "We unfortunately could not get much done today because of the behaviour of the armed individuals and the lack of access," he said.

He said the team could not find anyone to talk to about the airliner's black box, and that it was not clear who was in charge of the territory where the airliner crashed.

"The crash site is a very large area and there may be more than one group who holds sway over that area," he said.

He added that while the bodies had not been touched - they seemed to be lying where they fell, personal possessions appeared to have been arranged in piles as if "for show".

Some of the bodies showed early signs of decomposition.

"As for observing close up the wreckage of the Boeing 777 that was very difficult. The armed guards did not allow us very much leeway to leave the roadway and look at the wreckage," he said.

You know what bothers me from reading all the initial reports. That is the fact the Russian separatists located the black box recorders almost immediately and sent them to Moscow.

On whose orders?

IMO, Russia should be the last country handling any vital evidence to do with this disaster.

Why hasn't the US demanded they be handed over to a neutral country immediately?

Hi Rick! Our experts on TV said the black boxes will tell us nothing since it was a surface-to-air missile. This FAA guy said it was more important to get samples of the residue off of debris. He said that they can tell what kind of missile and a bunch of other things I don't remember now. LOL, I am in the middle of getting a new kitchen my mind is gone.

So let them take the black box to Moscow it proves nothing but there was recording then an explosion. Putin is responsible it was a Russian Missile launched by Russian Minions. But like North Korea years ago nothing will happen. Sad for the families.

Hi FluMom
I do agree the black boxes will tell little ..... it's the MOTIVE and Chain of Command I'm interested in.

Agreed Johnray1 - Obama is counter productive to the US and should be impeached immediately. His attitude of "screw Congress', I'll do what-ever-the-hell I want is just plain wrong. Everything he touches turns to S*it

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/07/17/777-shot-down-over-ukraine/

We spoke to air catastrophe and air-defence specialists. Here are several points they drew our attention towards:

1) It is not a fact that it was a “Buk” air-defence system and in general nothing is fact for the air catastrophe experts before the investigation is carried out.  According to the Chicago convention, Ukraine has to carry out the investigation (as the jet fell down on our territory), and anybody can be included in the committee. For an objective investigation, we have to capture the territory where the jet fell, and at least document the parts of the plane, bodies, traces of the attack part of the missiles’ damage on video (is it is a “Buk,” then metal rods, if it is a C-200 – ball-bearing parts etc.), find the black boxes etc.

2) The air traffic services should have closed this zone for flights right after the AN-26 was taken down yesterday from a height unaccessible for the man-portable air-defence system. Before it was closed up to 8 (we think) kilometres, it was enough for protection from the man-portable system (the missiles are small and have enough fuel for 4-5 kilometres only).  From the perspective of civil aviation safety, the fall of the jet is our mistake and Ukraine should be the one to pay compensations. And this is a huge blow to Ukraine as an aviation transportation operator.

3) As to the “Buk”: in theory, for the system’s successful work, a minimum of 4 out of 5 vehicles within the complex is necessary: the commandment car, the target locator car, the targeting car and the firing point with the missiles.  One can do without the charging car, which transports additional missiles, in case the missiles have been set up on the firing point in advance.  15-17 highly-qualified military specialists are needed to service these military specialists.

4) The principle of action of “Buk” air-defence system: – under close supervision of the commander, the locator determines the target and the coordinates; – the operator of the firing system launches the missile in the given direction; – the targeting car lights up the target with radio waves; – this reflected signal is captured by the self-targeting system of the missiles and its computer corrects the course; – the missile explodes several metres before reaching the plane, sending metal rods flying everywhere that damage the fuselage, the engines, the electric system etc.

5) “Buk’s” range is 40-50 kilometres horizontally and 20-25 vertically. It is a general military weapon (covers the soldiers from air attack directly on the battlefield), and not an air-defence forces weapon.

6) The air-defence system’s locators show three kinds of targets (as radio signals):  – missile (one leading engine); – destroyer, storm jet or a similar small military jet (the turbine of the engine creates a recognisable radio signal); – strategic bombarder or transportation jet (a big plane with many engines). The latter category could include a passenger vessel, as the radio image is identical.

7) If it is a “Buk,” then:  – it could have come from Russian territory. The caterpillar track can take the vehicles even through fields; – it could have been part of the captured Ukrainian Armed Forces division (if they indeed had all the parts of the complex). However military specialists for such accordant work were clearly imported, the reserve army is insufficient in this case; – it could have even worked from Russian territory, somewhere around Kuybyshevo. However, the Boeing was moving with its cruising speed (about 900 km/hr) and during the fall its parts continued falling to the east because of inertia.

8) This could have been not a “Buk,” but a different air-defence system.

9) Additional materials regarding “Buk” – http://rbase.new-factoria.ru/missile/wobb/buk-2m/buk-2m.shtml

10) But this is all in theory, we need EVIDENCE – data from civil radars, military equipment, satellites, CONTROL OVER THE CRASH SITE, not to allow the locals to take the parts for scrap metal et

ETN received information from an air traffic controller in Kiev on Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.

This Kiev air traffic controller is a citizen of Spain and was working in the Ukraine. He was taken off duty as a civil air-traffic controller along with other foreigners immediately after a Malaysia Airlines passenger aircraft was shot down over the Eastern Ukraine killing 295 passengers and crew on board.

The air traffic controller suggested in a private evaluation and basing it on military sources in Kiev, that the Ukrainian military was behind this shoot down. Radar records were immediately confiscated after it became clear a passenger jet was shot down.

Military air traffic controllers in internal communication acknowledged the military was involved, and some military chatter said they did not know where the order to shoot down the plane originated from.

Obviously it happened after a series of errors, since the very same plane was escorted by two Ukrainian fighter jets until 3 minutes before it disappeared from radar.

Radar screen shots also show an unexplained change of course of the Malaysian Boeing. The change of course took the aircraft directly over the Eastern Ukraine conflict region.

Malaysia hosted the war crimes tribunals which found George W Bush and company guilty as well as Israel guilty of war crimes, perhaps this is why they were targeted.
Update:  If, as claimed a BUK missile was fired at Putin’s plane.  President Putin’s version of Air Force One has extensive ECM modules capable of jamming incoming missiles.  Were a missile fired at them and it locked on, ECM, as with America’s “Air Force One,” would jam the missile systems.  It is also likely that Russia has a “back door” into all systems they build, such as the one the “Ukies” had deployed outside Donetsk..
We have no confirmation that Putin’s plane had a fighter escort but are assuming it did not.  Were a missile to have hit the Malaysian plane, evidence will be easily discernible and missile wreckage should already have been found.
As to whether an air-to-air or ground-to-air missile is found to be the culprit, we should know in hours unless that is suppressed.  Either way, John McCain’s childish threats, to only go after those responsible if they happen to be enemies of his “handlers,” was an unwise statement.

This is another quote from the VT-article mentioned earlier. I put this quote here because I wonder why Malaysian Airlines is effected twice this year. Most countries, including the Netherlands, could be found guilty of war crimes somewere in their past. (The Dutch East Indies-War 1945-1949 did see Dutch war crimes).

US surveillance which includes AWAC, drones and satellites is capable of detecting the launch of any air defense missile, ground based, capable of reaching the necessary 32,000 foot altitude.

Such a weapon would have been spotted in seconds and, as all such systems in the region are under continual surveillance due to the sensitive nature of the conflict and the history of allegations made, making claims we expect to be made outlandish.

In the media I see a lot of finger-pointing on Russia without much evidence that is trustworthy. The phone-call-tapes from the Ukraine secret service do not convince me. AWACS-planes must have caught any surface to Air missiles, even when they were fired from western Russia-border area. (Even though the plane crashed 50 kilometres west from the Russian border). 

I have much doubts about the claim that separatist are responsible given the fact that this SA-weapon is that complicated to handle and the separatists do not seem to be that organized. Russian "advisors" would think twice before using such a weapon. Eventhough Putin was on his way back from the BRICS-summit in Brasillia (were the BRICS-countries started their own World Bank and IMF, clearing to road further for another worldcurrency than the US-petro-dollar) he did not fly over the Ukraine. 

Veterans Today is always pointing its finger against Israel. I do not agree with that. But they might have a point in saying that Israel has fighters based in Azerbeidjan. 

The first priority has to be bringing back the bodies. In Dutch nes there is alot of attention for the fact that whole families, father-mother-chlidren, are killed. It is disrespectfull that some media are pushing for military action while a lot of people are waiting to say goodby to their loved ones. 

The world has allready seen to much madness, we do not need more !

"Malaysia hosted the war crimes tribunals which found George W Bush and company guilty as well as Israel guilty of war crimes, perhaps this is why they were targeted."

GWB has strong genetic descention from the Netherlands (As do I. That's how I know). He would be more likely to blow up a plane full of sick chickens. If he were still president this event would probably have not happened. And we would be there on the ground by now if it had. What happened was exactly what appears to have happened. A sad mistake by amateurs that is now being covered up by Russia. Yeah, Bush did it-in so far as he was term limited.

I agree, Josh. The first order of business is to find and recover the victims who are still lying out there, including the 80 children and 3 infants lost in this tragedy.
There are at least three groups that know what happened - Russia and the US (who have eyes everywhere 24/7, especially a conflict zone with the potential for international escalation like the Ukraine), and the SOBs that targeted a commercial flight with almost 300 innocents on board. Now we have to hope that justice prevails and behind the scenes politics doesn't hand us a sacrificial lamb in place of the real perpetrators.
