Ukraine Adviser: Malaysian Airlines Jet Shot Down By Missile Near Ukraine-Russia Border
If I might make a sincere heart felt request here. There are 295 people dead and countless family and friends shocked by the sudden loss of their loved ones.
Posters calling dead pilots idiots are out of line. If you can't show respect for this tragedy please don't post. Thank you.
