Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 Crashed In Ukraine, Possibly A Result Of Ground-To-Air Missiles.
Tragedy struck earlier today when Malaysian Airline flight MH17 crashed in Ukraine, near the Russian border. The area has been rife with violence because of the Ukranian conflict that erupted there in April of this year. All 295 people that were aboard the commercial jet died, including 23 American citizens. This event is absolutely tragic.
The Boeing 777 was at an altitude of 33,000 feet when it was struck by ground-to-air missiles. It is assumed that the jet was accidentally hit; it’s unclear what motivation there would have been for an intentional hit of a civilian plane.
Only time will tell the reason for this tragedy, once official investigations are underway. Hopefully some sense can be made from the terrible events of the day. Keep the victims of this crash and all of their loved ones in your thoughts. Hopefully, answers can be found.
