tragic and very sad event! malaysian airlines did a massive, witless blunder by charting a flight-path over that region! as it is, civilian agencies don't consider flying their planes over war-torn areas, and if it must be, then clearance is sought from the warring parties, the parties instruct their groundsmen and gunners and missile-operators and likewise, about the identity of the aircraft, radio frequencies, flight-path, and such, and to let it pass. nothing like this happened here. the airliner just tried to pass through from there merrily! stupid, STUPID agency! 
for now, it seems likely that the plane was shot down using a surface-to-air AA-missile instead of an AA-gun. but what kind or type of missile is yet to be determined (some are saying it was the buk missile). also, it seems that the attack was due to mistaken identity, as earlier too, two (military) aircrafts were shot down in the region in a similar manner before this, but they didn't make news as they were non-civilian crafts. now awaiting the retrieval of the FDR and the data it has to share.
