Wel gezien in een paar (buitenlandse) media maar meeste vermelden het niet, dus bij deze aangepast naar een wat terughoudende titel

Van nu.nl:
Reuters meldt dat het passagierstoestel niet op de verwachte tijd het Russische luchtruim binnenvloog.
Dat doet mij het ergste vrezen als inderdaad waar is, wat betreft de oorzaak dan.

Reuters meldt via Twitter dat het toestel is neergehaald met een raket vanaf de grond. Op gezag van Interfax die het dan weer van een (Russische?) adviseur van de minister van binnenlandse zaken hebben.

Erwin

Translation in anticipation of move:
Reuters reports that the plane has been brought down by a surface to air missile. The claim this based on Interfax who was told by a (Russian?) advisor to the minister of the interior.

Methinks this is a better location for this topic (have notified mods).
Apart from that, nothing but praise for the way the news is brought here. Very, very tragic indeed...

EDIT MOD: Agree, as a matter of fact please proceed in English, thanks!
What four words, Jimmy!?!

(reply to E. Hussman) Nope, Interfax is apparently quoting an advisor of the Ukrainian government, who stated that there were no survivors among the 295 souls on board :| . Let's wait to see how this develops... although right now it isn't looking good :cry:

I noticed now indeed, it was a Ukrainian advisor, not a Russian. Apparantly the missile was launched from a Buk launcher (whatever that may be).

Buk launcher:

Clearly not a MANPAD that you can carry on your shoulder...

It is in use with both the Ukrainian en Russian Land Forces.

It seems the action is claimed by the rebels. Apparantly they thought they downed another An-26....
