Malaysian Airlines aircraft reportedly shot down over Ukraine.

I think they confirmed it was a Russian missle launcher that was responsible.

dude its probably a coincidence

this
also, if they really did target some cargo plane, and the missile decided to hit the bigger target (aka the plane that happened to be nearby, and yes, the missile can actually do that), it would have been one forgeted up accident...even though it'd still mean fatalities whether it hit a commercial plane or cargo plane

it also sucks that another 777 goes down in the same year...literally no one died in a 777 incident until about a year ago...

It's like they want to start a war or something.

You have a better chance of dying in a car accident than dying in a plane crash. You're even more likely to die scuba diving than in a car accident, so I think you're fine.

Planes get routine maintenance frequently so the chances of a malfunction in mid flight is pretty much microscopic

You people are reaching for any dumb excuse to justify your irrational fears. What you REALLY need to be afraid of is Roller Coasters

what menen said. Plus pilots are specifically trained to fly and land with one or more engines out.

Even during takeoff.

Not trying to be gross or anything, but where can I find pictures of the crash?

Looking around /pol/ but I haven't found anything yet

That's why I always bring a bomb on  planes with me

the chance of there being two bombs on a plane at the same time is so small that it's almost insignificant

guaranteed safety

this is a joke NSA pls don't kill me
