"Malaysian passenger plane crashes in Ukraine near Russian border: Interfax - Reuter 17 July 2014

KIEV - A Malaysian passenger airliner with 295 people on board crashed in Ukraine near the Russian border on Thursday, the Interfax news agency cited an aviation industry source as saying.

The Boeing plane was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, it said. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. The Interfax report said the plane came down 50 km (20 miles) short of entering Russian airspace. It "began to drop, afterwards it was found burning on the ground on Ukrainian territory," the unnamed source said.

The plane appeared to have come down in a region of military action where Ukrainian government forces are battling pro-Russian separatists. A separate unnamed source in the Ukrainian security apparatus, quoted by Interfax, said the plane disappeared from radar at a height of 10,000 metres after which it came down near the town of Shakhtyorsk."

OMG! Not MAS again!!

No lessons learned to talk about but just to express my deepest condolences to the family members of those on board the plane that crashed.

Other reports said that it could have been shot down by military fires though the rebels had already declared that they did not shot it down and they had no part in the plane's crashing.

This is a terrible terrible news. 2014 is going to be a most horrible year for MAS.

Stay tune as we learn more about what had, or could have, happened.

A sad day and night.
