BREAKING NEWS - Malaysian airliner crashes on Russian-Ukrainian border

[Tamas]

I'm sure our Dear Leader will eventually get around to doing something once he runs out of fund raisers to attend, late night celebrity parties at the White House, and holes at the golf course.  Eventually he will remember he has a day job, right?

What the FUCK has Obama got to do with any of this? I understand he is not only a Democrat, but to add insult to injury for you people, black as well, but really years after years of blaming everything but the colour of the sky on him by the Republicans is getting really old even for me.

This seems more and more like the Soviet Union under Andropov, what with shooting down planes taking an unwise shortcut.
No evidence yet, but if the black boxes go to Moscow for analysis, we'll have to wait for a long time to get the truth.
Le monde.fr has still the photo removed by the separatists from Twitter.


It's too early too tell, but this keeps going from bad to worse...

NB: As in 1983, even if it were a shortcut, it is absolutely no excuse to shoot it down.

Out of interest, what should he be doing at this stage of the crisis? Strapping on a parachute and dropping into the Don Basin with a commando knife between his teeth?

If The Shrubbery were still in the White House, we'd have bombed Iraq within 24 hours of the airliner shoot-down..

Is anything useful expected to be in the black boxes?

[Zanza]

Wouldn't the black box just show that there was no technical issue before the aircraft was hit by a missle?

An Australian family has tragically been hit by both Malaysia Airlines tragedies, having now lost four members through flight MH370's disappearance and flight MH17 being shot down over Ukraine.

Irene and George Burrows, from Bileola, Queensland, were still mourning their son Rodney and his wife Mary after their plane vanished without a trace over the southern Indian Ocean in March, and will now have to grieve for their step-granddaughter Maree Rizk and her husband Albert who were aboard MH17.

Apparently nothing. Just as when anything else happens in the world.  He has nothing to do and nothing to say.

Then again, given his abysmal track records, it is probably for the best that he has given up on the job.

Even giving your assumption that he has had an abysmal track record. Nothing Suggests that McCain, Romney, Gingerich, Cain, Santorum or Bachman would have been anything other than total disasters in comparison.

As and this is the best that can be said about him "hey, it could be worse.  Maybe."

I can't wait for your wails and tears when Hillary shitstomps whichever moron the Republicans nominate.

Just heard that question being asked to an axpert. He explained that the flight recorders store internal and external sounds, so you might hear an explosion. System failures and structural integrity of the plane can also be analyzed. A misslie hit allegedly leaves a rather unique fingerprint there.

[Berkut]

Who sent the black boxes to Russia in the first place?

I thought it cute when Holder played the race card recently. I thought, you're right, that's the reason I dislike Obama.
