    Rumors circulating that they were Russian controlled SAM sites.

    ABC reporting shots fired by separatists who "secured the crash site".

    Yep, looks like it's the Russians. Meanwhile, the Komandant-in-Chief is only concerned about Americans being on board and says it's a tragedy. A tragedy is a plane crashing due to mechanical failures or the like. This was an attack and should have been condemned.

    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    Several Shell employees on board. I'm not sure what countries they were from, but there was Shell staff on board.

    well, looks like y'all got your wish. Obama is taking a pretty firm stance and DEMANDING Russia stop military actions in Ukraine. Ready for a war?

    my thoughts too. push "separatists" out of Ukraine, but don't make this offensive. We're sort of locked in now.

    Gotta agree, no boots on the ground. Airstrikes and targeted drone attacks are the way to go, unless you've got a shot to take out the Russian leadership using a Spec Forces team. I'd be in favor of using those guys in a limited situation, provided the reward was big enough.
