According news agency Interfax it has been shot down. http://www.interfax.ru/world/386415
Any confirmation about that? The area is full of weirdos with weapons...

Seems like a surface to air missile attack. RIP...

Just saw the news, very shocking. It's actually quite difficult to shoot down a commercial airliner; would need quite a large SAM with enough fuel to reach that altitude. Apparently the separatists have obtained the black box and sent it to Russia. Wow, now we will never know. Russia's track record with investigating planes downed with missiles hasn't been all that great historically. Just sayin.

My condolences to the victims and their families. Going to escalate to an international crisis soon.

This is not just MAS or Malaysia problem but an international problem. If it is shot down, those responsible must be taken to task by the world. Whoever support them are enemy to the world. Every second, there are planes flying everywhere, how could we allow such thing to happen?

Shooting down a plane above 10,000 m is not something any ordinary guy or organization is capable of doing.

This time, more than half passengers are Dutch.
Very sad to see this kind of incident.
RIP.

It is even more difficult to make an airliner disappear. Maybe the Russians think that if the Americans can bring down one MH without repercussions, so can they. We need the referee to give 2 red cards.
