9. Excellent analysis TBF thanks for reposting Jack Riddler's OP to this forum

I hadn't seen it before. It's been really difficult to wade through the volumes of reactionary threads that passes for "discussion". Jack's analysis makes sense to me generally speaking. I don't think we're going to find out the truth with regard to the downed commercial plane, at the moment I'm inclined to think it was a tragically stupid incident caused by one side or the other. As Jack Riddler points out very well, there is no advantage for Putin to have ordered this action.

By the way on a personal note, my daughters family flew back from Amsterdam (to SFO) the same morning of this event last week. The first report I heard, was that it was a flight headed to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam on KLM. Later i heard the correction in terms of the airline. I mention this because I can't understand why there were any commercial flights over the area, and wondered if all flights headed to the Pacific from Amsterdam take that same flight path? I haven't been able to find the answer to this question.

Thanks again..
