for serious? Do they know the primary nationality of those on board? Cause that seems like a great way to start a war.
Actually if there are heat seeking missiles being launched, it probably is just an unfortunate situation.
It would be very hard to mistake a commercial flight for a fighter, given how transponders work etc. But if there were missiles launched at some other target and it this flight was in the area, they pretty much are screwed.
It is very uncommon for planes to come down in mid flight, unless weather related or somebody on board sabotages the plane.
Pretty high probability this was shot down, but I don't think it was intentionally targeted.
Malayasia Airlines is pretty much screwed no matter what, 2 flights in less than 6 months does not matter what happened, nobody is gonna want to board their planes.
