[MH17] Another Malaysian Triple 7 Lost
The plane was shot down by an air-to-ground missile even though it's practically 30 Miles off the Russian border. All 295 people are dead.
What makes it sadder for me is that the plane, 9M-MRD was the plane that sported the Freedom of Space livery back in 2005.
She was a special bird to me...
Keep in mind that 295 lives were lost. I can only imagine what their families must be feeling right now. My deepest condolences to them.

Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 Shot Down over Ukraine
The wreckage of the crashed plane -
Here is a map of where it crashed and took off.
This is similar to the cold war incident, in which Russia shot down a Korean 747 that had gone of course, believing it to be spying.
It seems as though we're entering another era of Cold War type scares and political near misses.
