298 people died yesterday July 17th when Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was blasted out of the sky at 32,000.
It is still unknown who blasted the airplane, Obama suggested it was fired by a land to air missile.
The Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 carrying almost 300 people on board crashed on Thursday as it was flying over Ukraine’s Donetsk Region. The plane was apparently shot down by a surface-to-air missile(as suggested by Obama), although both Kiev and the local militias fighting against it deny responsibility.

Earlier Kiev said it could not have fired a missile at the passing civilian plane because it had no Buk missile launchers deployed in the region.
However, Russian equipment detected throughout July 17 the activity of a Kupol radar, deployed as part of a Buk-M1 battery near Styla [a village some 30km south of Donetsk], by Kiev.
After the Russian ministry came out with the statement, Bogdan Senyk, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Defense Ministry reiterated Kiev’s position, saying that "anti-aircraft missiles have not been deployed during the anti-terrorist operation ... they are all in place."
"It is now increasingly clear that Ukraine carried out the attack on the Malaysian Plane", according to Adeyinka Grandson.
