Very sad ! What happens next will be interesting. Especially since Putin is now blaming Ukraine for what has happened. Heading towards war/and invasion? I think a real possibility.
Hearing the Russians and Ukrainians using it to score political points against each other is almost as horrific as the thing being blasted out the sky. Makes me >:(
Gosh, this MH17 disaster has completely knocked me for six. I can't remember the last time a news story affected me in such a way. It's how awfully normal all on board appeared to be- the media taking over their belongings is ghoulish but... I don't know, gives them a story beyond just their horrible deaths.

Me too, I cannot remember being so affected since 7/7, I just feel so so sad and helpless, I walked past a paper stand in Co-op earlier of the Times with the front page of all the children and burst out crying all the way home. I find myself trying not to think about it to not make me sad (which I know sounds awful) but I never expected something like this to happen, especially to an innocent passenger flight

Yeah, the pictures of all of their luggage, personal artefacts and clothing strewn about the countryside are just heartbreaking. You don't realise how much mess the jetsam of a plane makes when it crashes until you see it. I found out this morning I share a few mutual friends with one of the victims- tiny, meaningless link I know but you always think of the victims of these tragedies as "others", but realise that to people out there, they are the most important person in the world.
I just hope the relatives get some kind of peace by at least getting to bury their dead.
I admit I shed a few tears when watching the news report from the Netherlands. The mum and dad that lost their 3 kids who were travelling with their grandparents and the woman's sister had to break the news to her
Could you imagine what the crowd reaction would have been to Russia at eurovision if this had happened before the contest?:o
I'm sure that I've mentioned it before but I have Lupus and am photo sensitive so this time of year is the most miserable time for me - added to which work is ridiculously busy and we're getting hammered on every shift. Bring on the autumn.....

Over 80 kids on board the flight
It's beyond tragic, all those innocent people caught up in a violent conflict which had absolutely nothing to do with them.
It is very sad. I don't know what I would do if it were my son on board!

The whole thing is just shocking, I couldn't believe it when I first heard
This guy had a very lucky escape though, but on the same note you have to feel for the family that lost relations in both Malaysia Airlines tragedies.
What exactly is that supposed to mean?
I love summer and I love the sunshine but I hate the humidity more than anything.
And the place has AIR CONDITION! It's going to be like heaven
