But I don't understand how they could mistaken an civilian aircraft for a hostile jet. Why did they shoot it down before checking what it was while knowing commercial planes fly that route every day
I don't understand either. But I'm sure you can do some research on it because this exact type of thing has happened before. Shooting down civil planes after mistaking them for hostile aircraft.
I can't believe that I just watched the liveleaks link. I never saw something like this before. I'm crying right now. This day is just too much for me. RIP to all those 295 people. The government of both sides + the seperatists are all a mess. Of course no one was it, bye.
