Hey guys I heard a water main broke in New York does this mean the possibility of the same thing happening in New Orleans dramatically increased?

Well shit then it's a good thing the metric isn't pegged to Los Angeles, or Noah would look like a puddle.

Malaysia Airlines crash: Family who lost two members on flight MH370 have lost two more on MH17

Son and step-granddaughter of couple died in separate Malaysia Airlines disasters
Christopher Hooton

Friday 18 July 2014

An Australian family has been hit by both Malaysia Airlines tragedies, having now lost four members in flight MH370's disappearance and flight MH17's shooting down over Ukraine.

Kaylene Mann's brother Rod Burrows and sister-in-law Mary Burrows were on board Flight 370 when it vanished in March.

And on Friday, Mann found out that her stepdaughter, Maree Rizk, was killed along with 298 others on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. Rizk and her husband Albert were travelling home from a holiday in Europe when the plane was shot down.

“It's just brought everyone, everything back,” said Greg Burrows, brother to Kaylene and Rodney. “It's just ... ripped our guts again.”

He said his family was struggling to understand how they could be struck by such horrible luck on two separate occasions with the same airline.

“She just lost a brother and now a stepdaughter, so...” he said of his sister, his voice trailing off.

Rizk and her husband Albert, of Melbourne, were returning home from a four-week holiday in Europe, said Phil Lithgow, president of the Sunbury Football Club, with which the family was heavily involved. Albert, a real estate agent, was a member of the club's committee, Maree was a volunteer in the canteen and their son, James, plays on the club's team.

“They were very lovely people,” Lithgow said. “You wouldn't hear a bad word about them — very generous with their time in the community, very community-minded, and just really very entertaining people to be with.”

A recording of conversations between a man identified by Ukrainian media as a Russian military commander and a rebel fighter has emerged this morning, in which they are reportedly heard discussing the downing of a jet over eastern Ukraine shortly after MH17 fell in between Krasni Luch in Luhansk region and Shakhtarsk in the neighbouring region of Donetsk.

In one of the calls a man going by the name Bezler can be heard saying: “Just now a plane was hit and destroyed by the miners group.”

In a post on Russian social media site Vkontake, Igor Girkin, also known by the nom de guerre Strelkov, the commander of the pro-Russian Donbass People's Militia, is reported to have claimed that his forces shot down a plane in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine at 5.50pm (GMT+4), shortly before reports emerged the passenger jet was missing.

According to a translation obtained by The Independent, he allegedly wrote: “We warned [sic] not to fly in our sky.”

Kiev has branded the event an "act of terrorism" and demanded a UN investigation, while Russian president Vladimir Putin has insisted it would not have happened if the Ukrainian government had agreed to a ceasefire.

Nine Britons died in the crash, along with 54 Dutch passengers, 45 Malaysians, 27 Australians, 12 Indonesians, four Germans, four Belgians, three Filipinos and one Canadian.

As if this shit couldn't get any more sad.

[tyven]

seeing as they were heading to australia they were prob doomed anyway. That country is more dangerous than any plane crash

[Priran]

clearly the CIA shot down the plane, because AIDS is a CIA plot to keep down Africa and the gays. And they did it with Russian technology so Obama would have an excuse to go to war!

[rold]

This is for kasandra, my theory following her logic is. the plane was shot down to pull attention from the israeli invasion on gaza.

AIDS begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 14:15 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time time, July 17th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. AIDS fights back, launching missiles at Malaysian Airlines planes...


Seriously though, it's clearly Skynet at work here.

The Terminator: The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Sarah Connor: Skynet fights back.

The Terminator: Yes. It launches its missiles against the targets in Russia.

John Connor: Why attack Russia? Aren't they our friends now?

The Terminator: Because Skynet knows the Russian counter-attack will eliminate its enemies over here.

1) A missile was used
2) It's basically in Russia
3) ???
4) Skynet

My work is done here.

PS: Terminator 2 is fucking amazing.

Obama confirming it was the separatists. And basically said we aren't going to do anything.

Was one american on the plane, not 23.
