Sachin=GOD Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 why was it shot down ? It was flying over a war zone so that seems to be the only plausible reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sachin=GOD Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 And the blame game is on - Eastern Ukraine's separatist leaders are saying that Ukrainian forces shot it down while Ukraine is blaming the rebels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sachin=GOD Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I guess at some point the question will be asked as to why a commercial flight was flying over a war zone where conflict has been going on for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sachin=GOD Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Because civilian aircrafts are not targeted under any conditions' date=' even during world wars[/quote'] But this was a known risk. In fact the US FAA had prohibited US carriers from flying over Crimea in April. Now all major airlines are saying one by one that they won't be flying over this region.

Raghav_12 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Top class morons! Isn't the world big enough to find an alternate route?!? I don't think it is taken even into consideration while deciding route of commercial planes whether area they passing through is war zone or no. Whole Pakistan and Afganistan are kind of war zone but all flights fly over this region as routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
