        Just saw SQ305 diverting south away from Eastern Ukraine. This is very sad. Prayers for the families of the victims.

                According to sources, SQ351 was just behind at a higher altitude. If SQ351 had departed earlier....

                  This was the aircraft that brought me from CDG to KUL a few years back. 9M-MRD.

                    Damn eerie: a Dutch passenger posted this photo with the caption, "If it disappears, this is what it looks like".

                    This is hitting pretty close as I am booked for SQ 351. Never once paid attention to routing. I hope it becomes standard practice to avoid hostile airspace.

                    My thoughts and condolences to those affected.

                      My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends.

                      I bet MH can't wait for 2015 to begin.

                      This is already causing more tension between Ukraine and Russia.

                          That place being a conflict zone, hope the integrity of the accident site can be properly contained for investigators.

                          But looking at all the recent territorial disputes and conflicts worldwide recently, one would think that we humans have learned absolutely nothing at all from the painful history of WWI & WWII.

                              It was really very near the area where the flight got shot down...
