Several sources now confirm the plane was shot down by separatists.
All 295 people on board assumed dead.

At least 173 of those passengers were Dutch, the whole country is in shock.

They're saying that comparing the lives lost to population of the Dutch it's as great or greater loss than we suffered on 9/11

Between this and the Gaza conflict things are so unsteady right now.

They just upped it to 192 Dutch passengers, among them the top AIDS researchers of the country who were on their way to Australia for a conference.


Ukraine. Gaza. Syria. Mali. Boko Haram. So much sadness and loss everywhere.
