Jesus. Hope that isn't the case. It's a tragedy regardless.

From Sky News

Malaysian Plane 'Shot Down With 295 On Board'

I don't understand why a "no fly zone" for commercial carriers is not established in war zones.

The world is coming unglued at the seams.

Condolences to the families and friends of the lost. :-(
