Whoa. If that's accurate, it puts a bit more emphasis on this than I was originally giving it. It wasn't THAT far off course and they lost contact before Kiev.
The self-defense forces of Donetsk People’s Republic seized control of a Ukrainian anti-air military installation, RIA Novosti reports.
Some of the pictures showing up on Twitter are disgustingly graphic...

There are reports the area separatist commander (a Russian) has claimed responsibility for shooting down a cargo plane.
Ohhh, so that wasn't a Ukrainian military jet but rather was a jet filled with innocent civilians of varying nationalities and the entire World is now ****** at us? That tweet was an accident, the intern that sent it has been dealt with.
My guess is, the rebels who had taken over that missile base at the end of June were looking to make a name for themselves and mis-fired at the Malaysian Airlines 777 instead of the supposed Ukrainian AN-26 transport (which is a very large aircraft as well).
Reportedly 23 US citizens onboard. Unconfirmed.

If confirmed...ohhhh ****.
Oh, and McCain and Graham will want to bomb them.
