    5100's all around. Front's set at 1.75" 265/75/16 Duratracs.
    Looks like from the flight path the Russians may have thought it was a Ukraine military plane coming from Ukraine.

    Apparently a separatist group who had already shot down some Ukrainian military planes thought this was another AN-26 (used by the Ukraine military), like one they had previously shot down. After they realized it was a civilian plane they removed all the social media posts they made bragging about this takedown.

    Your suprised fox has shitty reporting? :p

    Extremely unfortunate that this has happened like Korean Air 007. Some people were speculating that the crew must have drifted off their planned course to end up over the "warzone" and the rebels occupying the AA site locked onto the wrong target.

    They did shoot down a military jet yesterday after all.

    My buddy Joe. I helped escort him and his wife around Ft. Drum a few years back. His aide and I went to the same university. Anything comes out of Joe's mouth. He actually kind of grows on you in person, but I by NO means support any political affiliation.

    What does that have to do with the plane getting shot down?

    I've met him in person and talked with him, too. Seems to be a pretty "real" guy when he's not focused on being "on" as a politician.

    Anyway, condolences to the families that lost someone on that plane. Such a crazy thing to have happen.

    Just a commentary towards biden's ability to be the first to say "it". He has a history of jumping the gun (not that I doubt the plane was shot down), and not having the tact you would expect from someone holding the office of the VP.

    You don't trust American news, but you trust BBC who lied about building 7 that collapsed 20 mins prior to when it actually did on live video?

    Harden your bark, there are storms on the horizon.

    Slow day at work so I was following. So far, from all accounts it seems as though the Rebels have acquired a Russian BUK launcher and were claiming to have shot down a plane this morning, then retracted it upon learning it was civilian.

    Meanwhile, IDF troops are rolling into Gaza.
