This page intends on being a running blog… newest on the top ..
10:00 PM: We don’t know much more tonight than we did earlier today.. the United States confirmed tonight what was reported all day: The Malaysian flight was shot down over Ukraine today..
Earlier reports that the flight had 295 aboard were wrong: There were 298. Ukraine accused separatists of doing it. Vladimir Putin blamed Ukraine..
While we don’t know any real facts, we see the burning sensation as it begins to take over the planet.. Israel has begun its ground war in Gaza, moments after the shoot down of the Boeing 777 was shot down by something over Ukraine..
The world is on fire..
The story will develop and we will follow..
5:48 PM:
The black box has been sent to Moscow for investigation..
American intel: Shot down..
Blown out of the sky..
1:08 PM: Video now revealed of smoking plane crash site..

RT has also posted a slightly graphic photo of wreckage and bodies being extinguished with a fire hose..
12:57 PM: At this point the only source reporting the plane was the victim of a missile appears to be Ukraine–though the evidence is appearing to become more and more clear .. Bodies are scattered for miles.. first responders have found at least 100 bodies.. At this point, Malaysian has confirmed nothing–saying that there is no ‘confirmation’ that the plane was shot down. It is interesting to note, however, that a Ukranian fighter jet was shot down by Russia on Wednesday evening..
12:45 PM: Facebook page of Anton Gerashchenko, advisor to the Ukraine interior ministry, says that terrorists show down the plane with a Buk surface-to-air missile system..
12:43 PM: The Kremlin has put out a statement that Putin informed Obama about crash..
12:38 PM: Grainy images are now emerging of smoke billowing from the crash site..
12:35 PM: Networks in US are beginning to go wall-to-wall with coverage..
12:32 PM: The plane was shot down near the Ukraine/Russian border.. Reuters is reporting that body parts have been scattered at least 7 miles from the crash site.. Pro-separatists in Ukraine claim they did not shoot down the airliner..
It all began with this tweet today:
Malaysia Airlines has lost contact of MH17 from Amsterdam. The last known position was over Ukrainian airspace. More details to follow.

12:21PM: A Malaysian flight with 295 on board has been shot down.. This blaring news is greeting the entire world today.. there is also chilling video of smoke rising at the site where it occurred.. The Malaysia Airlines plane, which was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, was travelling at an altitude of 10km (6.2 miles) when it was shot down, Russia’s Interfax reported..
The Boeing 777 was brought down by a Buk ground-to-air missile, an adviser to the Ukrainian interior ministry quoted by the news agency said..
No word from President Barack Obama or President Vladimir Putin at this time..
The fear I have had was that 2014 was going to be the year when the world war switch ignited.. we don’t have an Arch Duke .. but now we have a downed Malaysian flight..
