Ukraine's Interior Ministry advisor said all passengers on board have been killed, including 23 American citizens.
According to Anton Gerashchenko, an advisor to Ukraine's Interior Minister and local reports, the plane was shot down by pro-Russia rebels in eastern Ukraine, though rebels have denied involvement in the crash. There were reportedly no Russian citizens aboard the flight. Gerashchenko said on his Facebook page that the rebels used a Buk anti-aircraft system to shoot down the plane, which was flying 10,000 meters in the air.
Buk anti-aircraft system is a sophisticated ground-to-air missile that the rebels in eastern Ukraine took hold of in June, according to Itar-Tass.
Eerie reminder: TWA flight 800 WAS SHOT DOWN 18 Years ago today.. a flight to Paris took off after a flight to Israel was experiencing problems. The french plane was shot down instead. Cops in NY had a fax sent over the wire looking for a stolen boat that a missile could be launched from. Another cop talked to the FBI diver who found the missile casing and told the cop it was shot down. It was shot down by Iranians in retaliation for the shooting down of Iran Air flight 655 by the USS Vincennes. The Rogue Iranian elements were in a boat off the coast and hit it with a surface to air missile.
It was not officially sanctioned by the Government of Iran, but was a work of revenge by a prominent Iranian Family who had family members killed when Iran Air flight 655 was shot down.

Malaysian Airlines MH17 plane was travelling almost the same route as Russia’s President Vladimir Putin’s jet shortly before the crash that killed 295, Interfax news agency reports citing sources.
I may be completely wrong, but a second Malaysian pilot diverting his route and ending the lives of hundreds of infidels? Investigators might find a flight simulator in his house, but they are looking at the obvious place, even though the site of the missile launching may not be the planning site. I'm just saying ,,,
