A Malaysian Airlines plane carrying 295 people, including 27 Australians, has crashed in rebel-held eastern Ukraine, with reports saying the jet was shot down at altitude.
The Boeing 777 was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it disappeared from radar and came down near Torez in the region of Donetsk.
A Dutch aviation official said 27 Australians were on the doomed flight after footage allegedly shot near the site of the downed aircraft showed a man holding passports collected at the scene, including what appeared to be an Australian passport.

유럽은 기차 여행이 될수만 있다면 맘이 더 편할듯..단, 우크라이나만 안 지난다면!
아 슬프다.... 국가간의 갈등이 이렇게 표현되는군요..
말레이시아 항공 죄는 아니지만 회사 이미지 타격 꽤 클 듯합니다. 에구. 참
죄가 있지요. 연료비 아끼려고 다른 항공사 피해가는 지역을 계속 이용하다가 당한거죠. 다행히 대한항공은 피해다닌다네요.
이런일은 벌어지지 말아야 하는데 안타깝내요.
이제 우크라이나는 no 플라이존이 되겠네요
