I don't read Vox, but I support your point, When I first saw a news scroll about this, my immediate reaction to "Malaysian airliner" was that the story was some update about MH370. It took a few seconds of reading to realize that the story was, in fact, something completely different.

It never hurts to reiterate facts.

"The Russian leader has been supplying increasingly sophisticated weaponry to the pro-Russian anti-Ukraine"

Uh huh...and a ten second glance at wiki shows that Ukraine has the same damn weaponry. Of course, a journalist of integrity would have done some background checking and found this out. But hey...who needs integrity when you have a rockin' pornstache?

Or better, hearing her opinion while appearing as a guest on Alex Jone's show. Actually, that's not better at all...actually pretty horrifying.

It looks like it was a long-haul non-stop flight, so it could have been pressure from the airline that a route change would have necessitated an unscheduled ground stop for refueling. And while the airspace was "restricted", the NOTAM did not expressly prohibit flights from using that flight path.

Mind you, I'm just completely speculating off of what little I know of aircraft and airlines. But I do know that anything that disrupts "the flow" of aircraft being where they should be annoys airlines something fierce.

Obviously it MUST be the same plane if they so clearly try to tell us that it isn't!!!1

That'd be the non-stupid reason to want to try to draw a distinction between the two planes.

Currently being threatened by a MASSIVE wildfire consuming vast swaths of the Northwest Territories. Wouldn't that be unfortunate? As in, massive environmental disaster.

Sarah Palin thinks for sure it is MH 370, it just flew back into the earths atmosphere after its little visit with Jebbus and his daddy

I love each and everyone of you twisted bastards and bastardettes for making me laugh out loud in the midst of my metaphorical tears by the content of your imaginary comments on this wonderful, though perhaps upset by the death of a sibling-blog, mommy blog.

I know - I hate being that cynical, but it wouldn't be the <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alaska_Airlines_Flight_261#Initial_flight_segment" target="_blank">first</a> <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Southwest_Airlines_Flight_1248" target="_blank">time</a> that airlines have gambled with aircraft just to try and ensure "the flow" stays correct.
