Aircraft, it was, if it was going basically straight line from netherlands to kuala lumpur, the flight path would seem to go over ukraine first over russia, rather than reverse. we were told, we were told it started developing problems over russia and came down in ukraine. lets talk about potential miss terri aspects of this though. in war, in conflict because thats, i guess what weve got between the ukraine and russia right now, both sides will try to maximize whatever effect they can, whatever...

Sky. there are no survivors. amateur video shows a plume of smoke, debris falling from the sky. and here is what we know at this hour. a senior u.s. official tells cnn, the plane was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. u.s. officials have not determined who, though, was responsible. russian president vladimir putin says any talk of russian involvement in the crash is, quote, unquote, stupidity. chief meteorologist chad myers is in atlanta with more information about the planes flight path. th...

16,000 feet headed out over the water. it was dusk around 8:30 in the evening. you could see a long ways, a good 50, 60, 70 miles or more. i saw this flight departing out of jfk with a bright light kind of, yellowish in colors and i mentioned to my first officer and we thought that possibly might have been a fire boot. wasnt no smoke or anything and it was probably the landing light. they were crossing our flight path, moving from the right to the left so we had a very good sight of them and wer...
