According to what I have been reading and hearing that the Russian Air controllers reported the problem to their supervisors and their reports made their way up the chain to Putin.
It is also possible the missile was launched from Russia proper. If so, it will be up to Obama and Putin to avoid WWIII in the teeth of outrage. But that should be easy for those two.
Easily. Ukraine is closer to Russia than to the "rest of the world" that you mean.

The hell...? You're telling people to not laugh in a situation like this by cropping together a naff meme? Are you for real?
It's not just about the simplicity in operating the system, but the reasons for using it. A lone SAM is easy prey for a modern military, unlike guerrilla weapons. If they happen to have one, or a few, I don't see why they would just go about shooting things up. I can't rule anything out of course.
Perhaps it is just a rather rare, strange and unlikely coincidence. I wonder how it is going to be possible to investigate what happened considering the ongoing civil war.Here's the struggle in my head (as if you all care
Two jets of the same type from the same company crash at the same point in the flight profile.
The problem is that I genuinely believe the first was human-led and it appears credible that the second was too.
But those kinds of coincidences just don't happen, do they?
Seems they might. I just tried to find out if Boeing are treating it as a crash, seems for now they are but they aren't mobilising the "grab" crew. That says to me they don't think it's a crash but I have no source to show you.
It would still be interesting to wonder if this was in fact linked to the airline threat of the last few weeks, the assumption has been that this was an Al-Quaeeeeeda threat but notably no-one's actually said that.

That's why I said " if this is real" at the end of the comment.No it isn't, not when you think of all the number of photographed planes that people make similar jokes about which don't crash. You're presuming a data set of One Thing
Just hearing from Aunty that an FDR has been located. On that model it's on the upper fuselage just forward of the empannage crown, could be at either "main" site.
Because they're idiots who did this without thinking for a second.
This is because the Callsign is shared with a KLM that runs the same route usually, according to NBC.
