The piece of land that the plane was destroyed over is pro-Russian
held land and just a week ago a Ukrainian military troop transport was
shot down, now this plane. It is no doubt that Russia is behind this as
they are the only force in the area that could shoot down such a plane.The plane was flying at 33,000 feet and had taken off from Amsterdam and was flying to Kuala Lumpur. A U.S. official said that a radar system saw a surface-to-air missile system turn on and track an aircraft right before the plane went down, and then a second system saw a heat signature at the time the airliner was hit, the official said.
