pldubs 308 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 No matter what happens it will affect us. Well get dragged into a fight because we continue to suck on the states dick and bend over for liz's scepter. Duno why everyone cant just chill the f**k out and be friends. The Human race needs to get past this fighting sh*t. Team up. Conquer disease and perfect clean energy. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2919 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 Duno why everyone cant just chill the f**k out and be friends. The Human race needs to get past this fighting sh*t. Too many people on too small a planet I'm afraid. Using up the resources faster than is sustainable.. will lead to more and more wars and disputes, over oil, water, food, space, etc. Only question is whether we will destroy ourselves before we destroy the planet? Just off to check my 12-gauge and stock up on tinned food and bottled water. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2052NV 43 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 Ive stopped following current affairs in the last 6 months to a year, because it is just soooo depressing to hear all this horrible news everyday. Obviously one way or another i hear of big things like this but generally i believe im a happier person due to my ignorance for current affairs, ESPECIALLY when it comes to NZ pollitics (and any politics i imagine). Just a bunch of big kids trying to find dirt on each other to ruin each others image.... I know its probably not the rite thing to do on my part but it works for me..... I think someone somewhere said once..... ignorance is bliss? But i do agree what a horrible tragedy the above story is...... so sad for anyone related to the incodent including Malasia Airways 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M5V8 337 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) this sh*t The call was made 20 minutes after the plane crash by Igor Bezler, military commander of the separatist Donetsk People's Republic, the Kyiv Post reported. FULL TRANSCRIPT Igor Bezler: We have just shot down a plane. Group Minera. It fell down beyond Yenakievo. Vasili Geranin: Pilots. Where are the pilots? IB: Gone to search for and photograph the plane. Its smoking. VG: How many minutes ago? IB: About 30 minutes ago. SBU (Ukraine Intelligence) comment: After examining the site of the plane the terrorists come to the conclusion that they have shot down a civilian plane. The next part of the conversation took place about 40 minutes later. Major: These are Chernukhin folks show down the plane. From the Chernukhin check point. Those cossacks who are based in Chernukhino. Greek: Yes, Major. Major: The plane fell apart in the air. In the area of Petropavlovskaya mine. The first "200" (code word for dead person). We have found the first "200". A Civilian. Greek: Well, what do you have there? Major: In short, it was 100 percent a passenger (civilian) aircraft. Greek: Are many people there? Major: Holy sh**t! The debris fell right into the yards (of homes). Greek: What kind of aircraft? Major: I haven't ascertained this. I haven't been to the main sight. I am only surveying the scene where the first bodies fell. There are the remains of internal brackets, seats and bodies. Greek: Is there anything left of the weapon? Major: Absolutely nothing. Civilian items, medicinal stuff, towels, toilet paper. Greek: Are there documents? Major: Yes, of one Indonesian student. From a university in Thompson.

aw-krazy 45 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah i do agree with you Rob, ignoring current affairs will lead to knowing less about whats going on in the world at the moment but who would want to know all this crap thats going on at the moment. Shits just getting deeper each year. Maybe if there was a positive influence somewhere in this world, would be a different story. Might have to start doing what you do. As to above thats so sad. Big kids with big weapons and not half a brain to think about what they will cause to thousands of people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

handgrenade 189 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 It is not the first time a commercial plane has been taken down by military hardware http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air_Lines_Flight_007 747 shot down by a soviet interceptor .. 260+ dead. All because they flew into then restricted airspace by accident .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aw-krazy 45 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 Along with TWA flight 800, which i believe was shot down by a missile, there was another major airline that was taken down by missile though i can't remember what it was Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmarco 56 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 There have been a few unfortunately - 2x Korean, a Cathay Pacific & a DHL flight out of Bagdahd in 2003 (which actually landed safely) to name a few. Scary part is that it could have been almost any commercial flight over Ukraine... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
