I call BS on this one. First, the plane was heading for Russian airspace so we would have to believe that the rebels shot down a plane that might well belong to their main benefactor. After all, who else's military transport plane would be headed over Russia? Or perhaps it was a Ukranian plane headed on a suicide mission into Russia! The far more likely explanation is that air traffic controllers in Kiev directed the plane onto its fateful course. Unfortunately, the government of Kiev confiscated all the air traffic control records immediately following the tragedy. How convenient, eh? It seems that, just like the previous Malaysian Air tragedy, we'll probably never know what really happened to MH17.
