OMG! Malaysian passenger plane shot down in Ukraine, 295 dead

A Malaysian Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur has crashed in eastern Ukraine. There were 280 passengers and 15 crew members on board.

Ukrainian Interior Minister said all on board are dead and that the plane was shot down by militants at 32,000 feet and at 500mph. It is believed that the plane was hit by a ground-to-air missile.

The plane, a Boeing 777, came down near the city of Donetsk, which is a border between Russia and Ukraine where a Ukraine transport plane was also shot down on Monday July 13th from the Russian side of the border.

There's been a military battle between Ukraine and Russia for a while...now they are shooting down planes? The Interior Minister said pro-Russian separatists have been hunting their planes for weeks.
