A SHOOTING CONSPIRACY- waiting for facts

The news of the shooting down   of the Malaysian plane MH17 over the skies of Eastern Ukraine   is indeed a very unfortunate tragedy happening  barely 4 months since the loss of MH 370, my heart goes out to the deceased and their loved ones. In total 295 people have lost their lives in such manner, whether there are survivors ,at this moment there are doubts.Reports say the plane was flying from Amsterdam to kuala Lumpur. In the midst of all this there has been a series of claims and counter claims, heated accusations back and forth going on between the parties that are most possibly involved -The Ukrainian military, the rebels in the East of Ukraine and the Russian military. Although it is too early to specifically pin point who is responsible at this time, it would indeed be revealed when the evidences are reviewed and revealed , so only time will tell, but unfortunately what i have noticed is the speed with which parties from different sides are quick to point fingers without proof – at this point in time some have claimed that this could not have been done by the rebels in the East judging by the height and speed the plane was flying- about 10,000km above ground, the argument is that the plane could not have been hit by shoulder launched surface to air missiles (SAM) but by much more sophisticated truck carried SAMs possessed only by two principal actors- Ukraine and Russia, although both sides have come out to strongly deny any involvement – it is almost certain at this point that the plane was shot down, so the questions remain,  who brought it down ?-Was it done using surface to surface missiles ? – another point is the fact that the downing most probably was accidental, mistaken for a military transport plane or was it a deliberate target, i doubt- some have even suggested it was mistaken for President Putin’s plane. At this time no one knows . This tragedy is happening a few days after two other Ukrainian  planes were shot down, with Ukraine accusing Russia of  the attack,  an accusation rejected by Russia. One more thing to ponder is that  the commercial airliner should have known that these were troubled skies and should have taken a more safer route- all these are questions that beg answers. Minutes after the incidence, bodies of the crashed victims had started showing online- rather disrespectfully i would say, but this shows the reach of the internet and how it affects our lives and  daily events.

News reports say that the rebels in the East have agreed to a temporary ceasefire so as to allow access to the crash site, the parties that would be involved in the investigation. We sincerely hope that this incidence will be thoroughly investigated by all the parties involved  and will not be used to  settle scores  or make cheap political  statements .

At a time like this the world should stand together with the Government and people of Malaysia and the families involved.
