You would think this bastard had some hint of remorse.
"I was going to say Aliens shot it down but
I didn't think you would believe me so I made up this one instead"

Bizarre claims: Igor Girkin said the bodies had been dead for days and reeked of decomposition
The rebel commander blamed for shooting down flight MH17 has made bizarre claims that bodies at the crash site 'aren't fresh'.
Pro-Russian separatist Igor Girkin has claimed corpses near the debris died days before the plane took off.
According to rebel website Russkaya Vesna, the leader was told by people at the scene in eastern Ukraine that 'a significant number of the bodies were drained of blood and reeked of decomposition.'
Girkin, also known as Strelkov and allegedly a former Russian intelligence agent, also suggested that a large amount of blood serum and medications in the wreckage.
The information has not been confirmed but the commander said: 'Ukrainian authorities are capable of any baseness.'
He was said to be among the laughing rebels that filmed the plane as it crashed
Footage is said to have captured him gleefully bragging: 'That was a blast – look at the smoke!' while a fireball rose from the debris.
The extraordinary footage – apparently filmed by the shooters themselves – charts the terrible final moments of the doomed airliner.
A voice believed to be that of Strelkov – dubbed 'Igor the Terrible' – announces: 'The plane was hit!' He adds: 'Look at those black spots, these are the parts, flying … it was a blast … look, look, black smoke!'
As a pall of smoke was seen coming from the crash site, he wrote a triumphant war cry on Twitter, saying: 'We warned you – do not fly in "our sky".'
The Malaysia Airlines Boeing-777 was shot down Thursday, killing all 298 people aboard.
Shortly after the passenger plane was downed, Strelkov – seen smirking in propaganda photos – tweeted a boastful message claiming responsibility.
At the time, he apparently believed he had shot down an Antonov-26 military plane of the Ukrainian Air Force, saying it landed near a mine named Progress.
His chilling message read: 'In the area Torez we just hit down An-26, it's lying somewhere in the mine 'Progress'.
'We warned you – do not fly in 'our sky'. And here is the video confirmation of the "bird dropping".
'Bird fell near the mine, the residential sector was not disturbed. Civilians are not injured.'
Later as the horror became clear, the tweet was deleted.
Putin setting foot in a church is
tantamount to the devil saying the rosary.
Surprised there was no fire.

I am certainly not absolving this animal (or should I say 2 animals) of this horrific crime. As I understand it there were 80 children on board.
Russian Separatists just shot down a plane not very long ago. So why in the world would you fly a civilian airliner into a war zone? Reports suggest they wanted to save on fuel. Whatever they saved will be minuscule compared to the lawsuits. The lawyers will be all over this quicker than sharks to blood. Considering Malaysia Airlines recent track record they'll probably file bankruptcy. I imagine this is there only recourse... because who in the hell would buy a ticket?
