At this time, little over 24 hours since the shooting down of this aircraft, there is little evidence as to who carried out this act of terrorism. I would guess it was pro-Russian terrorists acting against the legitimate Ukrainian Government.

What happened to Malaysia Airlines flight MH17?

Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crashed in Ukraine. Do not confuse MH17 with the missing MH370 which vanished over the ocean somewhere. On July 17th 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down in Ukraine, near the border with Russia. The two countries at this time are in conflict with each other.

Is Malaysian airlines safe for travelling?

Generally speaking Malaysian Airlines is safe for traveling. Due to recent mishaps there are some legitimate concerns about this. The missile that shot down the flight from the Netherlands to Malaysia was not the fault of the airline. The international body that reminds airlines about overflight concerns said that Ukraine was no danger. Now, yes some nations had placed Ukraine as a no fly zone. But not the international one for safety. The missing flight of Malaysian airlines a few months ago has been a problem inasmuch as the cause nor the location of the crash site has not been found. It has been reported that certain "tracing equipment" was not on board in all Malaysian Airline planes. This issue needs to be addressed.
