Was Flight MH-17 Diverted Over Restricted Airspace?
MAS has been effectively bankrupt for many years and for good reasons
(it is absolutely ****, I flew it once and vowed never to set foot on it ever again). When an airline is in that situation anything can happen. The pilots and other staff it can attract and maintain are severely limited leading to a brain drain. The maintenance budget is going to get cut to the bone. They are going to consider carrying cargo that other airlines would not touch with a barge pole. Crew are going to consider routes and other means to save the company money etc. It is tragic but you have to ask yourself why did these people choose to fly with this airline? Some of them already had experience of relations and friends disappearing on MH370 with all of the lies and subterfuge surrounding that. At some point people really have to take responsibility for their own actions.

Perhaps the best visualization of what the issue is, comes from Vagelis Karmiros who has collated all the recent MH-17 flight paths as tracked by Flightaware and shows that while all ten most recent paths pass safely well south of the Donetsk region, and cross the zone above the Sea of Azov, it was only today's tragic flight that passed straight overhead Donetsk. http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/defau...%20paths_0.png Why is the diversion from the traditional flight path and passage over the highlighted zone a concern? Because as the following map from the WSJ shows this is precisely where the restricted airspace is. http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/defau...ir%20space.png So perhaps before coming to "certain" conclusion about the involvement of this rebel or that, the key questions one should ask before casting blame, is why did the pilot divert from his usual flight plan, why did he fly above restricted airspace, and just what, if any instructions, did Kiev air control give the pilot in the minutes before the tragic explosion? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-0...icted-airspace |
