The change of flight path, sending it 300 km North so it flew directly over the very small war zone together with the instruction to lower the flying height have never been explained. The audio tapes of ATC in Kiev were "lost" after they were handed over to the Ukrainian Security Services. Nuff said really.Vse
I'm not a member of Putin's fan club. I simply try to see everything with my own eyes and to think with my own head. Every crime has its beneficiary party and its motives. Please, tell me at least one cause for pro-Russian rebels to commit such crime? But at least three causes for American owners of the Ukrainian democracy to do this was named in this article. I thing, witnesses were saying something about two aircrafts earlier, but nobody was listening to them.SandieL
Is this the Ukraine that the EU is trying to fast-track into joining the free-for-all that is currently going belly up? The EU is trying desperately to implicate Russia in the downing of this aircraft.... and it could even be that they knew about it all along.... assisted by the very dude who is telling US to remain in the EU. If it keeps Russia out, then he will be all for it..... this stinks..... I didn't believe for one minute that Russia was involved.whamster
Sacrifice a plane and three hundred souls to gain public sympathy and political leverage against Russia? Is this unthinkable act possible?Tom WelshReply towhamster
Well, on 3 July 1988 the guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes, operating (without permission from its own command chain and outside the rules of engagement) in Iranian territorial waters, deliberately shot down the Iranian Airbus Iran Air 655 with the loss of all 290 lives on board. The story was that this state-of-the-art missile crusier with its sophisticated Aegis computer system, designed to defend a carrier task force against dozens of simultaneous threats, mistook the Airbus for an F-14 fighter-bomber (the plane flown by Tom Cruise in "Top Gun"!) It seems very likely that the destruction of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie later that year (with a further 259 deaths) was intended as revenge for the shooting down of the Iran Air plane. And Lockerbie, in turn, was used as a pretext for repeated vicious attacks on Libya (which probably had nothing to do with it), culminating in the brief but violent war in 2011 which overthrew the Libyan government.farfromhome
Very well happened that way. Certainly would explain why Ukraine's flight control records for the time of the incident have been kept under lock and key, when it was they under whose control the plane was diverted into the war zone. CIA involvement is always a possibility especially given the US-engineered and financed overthrow of the legitimate head of state with the aim of installing NATO at Russia's very doorstep.IC Reg
Yes - about time bbc told the truth. Propaganda wing of the government and washingtondiscordiamusic
If Russia was guilty then everything would have been exposed long long time ago. They why they're waiting so long? Where is conclusive evidence? Or maybe the evidence points that Ukraine is guilty and the West simply doesn't wanna expose the truth?confusiosReply todiscordiamusic
Murometts the Russians didn't instigate a coup in Ukraine to depose a democratically elected president it was the CIA who did. So blame the CIA not Russia. Look what's happening in your country. Look at Iraq, look how they are suffering. So long as you let the CIA in your country to destabilise Russia, your country will end up like Iraq because the Russians are more powerful than the Americans and will not let that happen.owly
So, the headlines like "Putin's missile killed my son" were a wee bit inaccurate and based on no evidence but good ole Russia-bashing? Oh no I can't believe it. The press' never lied to me before.LameduckReply toowly
Stan..........where are the witnesses then who saw a BUK firing a missile at it? From the ground with people living in the area. Plus the vapour trail which hangs around for some ten minutes after a launch. Where are these witnesses plus at least some video footage.Alistair beg
The cia backed junta won't like this, the regime change didn't all go the way they planned and the plot to try and blame putin has failed. I don't suppose the eu and america will raise sanctions against ukraine though, they're an ally. Instead watch for the name calling, insults and denials.
