Malaysian Boeing 777 (Amsterdam - Kuala Lumpur) crashes in east Ukraine conflict zone. Probably shot down.

It's not been a good year for Malaysian Airlines... or Ukraine

My distaste for Russia grows every day. I used to be fascinated by that country and really wanted to visit, but more and more it seems to be a country not worth acknowledging, its government and it's people generally seem very bad.


Posted by Trance-M on Jul-17-2014 19:47:

I still can't believe they fly over a war zone.

There was a NOTAM issued for the route a few hours before and they apparently were in another route by deviated due to weather. Either way no one should be shooting at aircraft traveling at 33,000ft in this combat zone. It was clearly not a threat and most likely an inexperienced crew shot at something they thought was much lower (some sources are saying that a Ukranian military cargo flight was expected in the same area today, but the previous flight was shot down yesterday so the Ukranian military had halted the flights).

Ugh, ditto. I am completely disenchanted with that country.

Please, don't mix up the two.

Russia is hardly a democracy right now, and not everyone is guilty of having Putin in power. Russians are among the most passionate and friendliest people I know, and although I'm willing to grant there are many Putin supporters to be found among them, that's hardly any reason to ignore everything else they've got going in their favour.

Anyway, this is probably the most painfully prescient tweet in history:

"If it disappears, this is what [the plane] looks like:"

lol, even the reputedly standoffish and snobby French are friendlier and less prickly than Russians. That has been my experience, anyway.

Well, I've never made out with a French girl so perhaps I'm biased


Posted by Trance-M on Jul-17-2014 21:15:

There were 154 Dutch people on board. Furthermore, 27 Australians, 23 Malaysians, 11 Indonesians, 6 Britons, 4 Germans, 4 Belgians, 3 Philippines, 1 Canadian. 47 people is still unknown nationality.

Cabin crew 15 all from Malaysia.

According to France 4 were French, but that wasn't confirmed yet.

I found most of them to be some of the most anachronistic, backwards douchebags I've ever known and that's after visiting some places in the middle east.

Well, I don't know what may have happened then... Perhaps the Russians that came to Brazil were from a better batch than your average Russian


Posted by Lilith on Jul-18-2014 03:46:

Probably, people that travel tend to sometimes be a bit more 'worldly' and accepting.

I've always had soft spot for Yakov Smirnoff


Posted by planetaryplayer on Jul-18-2014 03:53:

I've only met one nice russian person tbh. even going back to high school days all the russians would only hang out with other russians and always try to act 'tough'. not to mention their language sounds so angry lol. this wouldn't be the first time they took down a plane (killing then polish president).


Posted by Joss Weatherby on Jul-18-2014 04:06:

How about KAL 007 in 1983. Fucking nut jobs thought it was a pretext for nuclear war.

Seriously I have met a very few cool Russians, and even then they seemed sort of slimy.

I got into a heated debate with one a few months ago (a friend of a friend) about nuclear disarmament, he swore that the program to turn former Russian warhead pits into fuel was a ploy by the US to weaken and disarm the Russians and that we were scumbags for trying to take away their nuclear weapons.

It was insane. He couldn't be reasoned with. When I told him that the Russians offered this program for money he said "you obviously must have tricked us, because we wouldn't have done it the way you are doing it!"



Posted by Trance-M on Jul-18-2014 10:47:



Total now 298 including 15 crew.

There were 189 Dutch people on board. Furthermore, 44 Malaysians, 27 Australians, 11 Indonesians, 9 Britons, 4 Germans, 4 Belgians, 3 Philippines, 1 Canadian, 1 New Zealander. 4 people unknown nationality.

If Russians are fucked up, it's because of the generations of genocide, internment, and complete fucking brainwashing, not to mention that the parents of today's Russian youth endured their immense nation turning into a 3rd world Superpower nearly overnight. Even Dostoevsky noted (ha) this very same instability over a century before, with swaths of listlessness and alcoholism depicted in Crime and Punishment. It has not been a nice region for a very, very long time.

There's nothing that opens the door to far-right idiocy quite like massive economic collapse. It takes forever to heal.
