I suck at this, but that's sarcasm right?
Guardian:
"Malaysia's transport minister Liow Tiong Lai said if the plane was shot down "it is an outrage against human decency".
Speaking at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur he announced that Malaysia is sending a team of 62 people to Ukraine. He also defended the route of the plane, pointing out that 15 out of 16 Asia-Pacific airlines fly over Ukraine."

I can't help but to blame the airline in this situation. Flying over a country in the middle of a civil war shouldn't be a route considered by any airline.Guardian:

I wonder how many of those 16 asian-pacific airlines will be flying over the Ukraine now. The sad thing is he had to narrow it down to just the asian-pacific ones because everyone else had the common sense to avoid that area.
Don't ask me, I'm even worse in person at detecting sarcasm. I think it's cause I naively think people tell me the truth all the time...

What I find interesting is that Malysia said in response that they were following "international standards". I don't really know what standards one would have for flying over a war zone, except DONT.
What can they do if Russia has the box. Come to think of it having the box in an unmanipulated original stage may not do any good. What? The pilots are suppose to state which side was shooting at them from that distance?
The black box isn't needed at this point. There is ample evidence what brought the plane down and who did it.
There was only a handful of Americans on that flight.Reagan did not start a war on the downing of KAL007, a flight which originated in NY and was shot down by the USSR. No one is going to be stupid enough to start a nuclear war over the downing of an airliner, as egregious an attack that might be... there isn't much that a rational person could do....
(CNN) -- A Malaysia Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur has crashed in eastern Ukraine, Russian news agency Interfax reported Thursday.
From some of the airline geek places I go to:

Why do you people bring Obama into everything? Why don't you give it a rest - just this once. You can continue trashing him on everything else.

You have your money on the Ukraines?
sounds like grounds to carpet bomb the site where the missile came from
How many planes have they brought down recently?

No, it was a Korean flight to Seoul, but why quibble with facts on this board, no one else does.... It was actually the 2nd Russian shooting of a Korean plane... they also did it in 1978, but only 2 people were killed. The US is not pure in this arena either, as we shot down an Iranian airliner in 1988.

Put all speculations aside. Just wait for the answers. The U.S. has sophisticated technologies that can detect missile launches.
The "rebels" have shot down near a dozen military aircraft, this is civilian. If they shot it down, it was sure to be an accident. Shooting down a civilian airliner wouldn't advance their cause one bit, and just as was the case in Syria and president Assad, it would make it more difficult for Russia to support them.
Extending the invitation isn't the same as accepting them as a member. As I said, the objective is to get Russia to back off and to get the separatists to deescalate their military actions. The best outcome is a diplomatic solution but in order to give that a chance we need to get the shooting stopped.

Unless they have covert Russian assistance, which we know they've been doing since this crisis began.
Except Russia.
The reason is not only because they poses the box and thus would not manipulate it, but because Russia would never use the opportunity to demonize Ukraine. It is just not how Russia operates. It just promotes the "truth" not propaganda aimed at invading and annexing foreign territories!
