| UNSC condemns MH17 flight downing | |
| 2014-07-22 | |
| [Iran Press TV] The United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... Security Council (UNSC) has unanimously condemned the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 passenger plane.
Australia took the lead in drafting the resolution. The resolution called for a full independent international investigation into the downed passenger plane and demanded the responsible parties be held accountable. "We must have answers. We must have justice," Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told the Security Council. The crash of Malaysian Airline flight MH17, en route to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam, left all 298 people on board dead with speculation suggesting that the Boeing 777 was shot down by a surface-to-air missile while flying 33,000 feet over Donetsk on July 17. Ukraine and opposition forces accuse each other of firing a surface-to-air missile at the passenger plane, both denying shooting down the plane. Ukraine launched military operations in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Lugansk in mid-April to crush the pro-Russia protests there. Violence intensified in May after the two flashpoint regions held local referendums, in which their residents voted overwhelmingly in favor of independence from Ukraine. | |

| #7 I always remove my Igor Girkins before eating a cheeseburger I am so relieved the UNSC is unanimous in its condemnation, that means even Russia approved. We can hold hands and sing Kumbayah now it's a consensus everyone! |

| #3 A retired Russian Intelligence Officer by the name of Igor Girkin may have played a key roll in the MH17 downing. |

| #2 ..cause some suit doing bean counting thought the savings on fuel was more important. Which should tell anyone with a smidgen of brains, the suits at that airline think you're expendable. Time to treat the airline as expendable. |

| #1 The lesson here is that the passenger plane was not downed by terrorists. It was downed by flying right into an active war zone. |
