Ukrainian Interior Minister said all on board are dead and that the plane was shot down by Russian anti-aircraft missiles at 33,000 feet and at 500mph.
The plane, a Boeing 777, came down near the
city of Donetsk, which is a border between Russia and Ukraine where a Ukrainian transport plane was shot
down at 21,000 feet on Monday July 13th and a military jet shot down last week from the Russian side of the border.
The Interior Minister said pro-Russian separatists have been hunting down their planes for weeks. 6 Ukrainian military jets have been shot down in the last few months by the Russians. There's been military dispute between Ukraine and Russia for a while. And now they are shooting down passenger planes? The plane departed Amsterdam at 12.30pm and went down around 4.30pm.
