Alleged Satellite Photo Says Ukraine Shootdown of MH17

Posted by timothy on Saturday November 15, 2014 @09:36AM from the if-the-glove-won't-fit dept.

theshowmecanuck (703852) writes A group calling itself the Russian Union of Engineers has published a photograph, picked up by many news organizations (just picked one, Google it yourself to find more), claiming to show that MH17 was shot down by a Ukrainian fighter plane. The interesting thing is the very quick ad hoc crowd sourced debunking of the photograph using tools from Google maps, online photos/data, to their own domain knowledge backed up with the previous information. It would be interesting to understand who the "Russian Union of Engineers" are and why they in particular were chosen to release this information.

We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.

How do you know the Ukrainians don't have fighter jets the size of a farm?
