That feeling of absolute helplessness.

:(

She's a hero!

Giant space Tiger - I'm from Northern Ireland- lived through the troubles and the situation is extremely complex. Best not to make political comments on a situation you don't understand. We are just grateful that those days have passed and we can go about our lives without worrying about being blown up or shot.

I've always wondered: if you were to fall like that, would you die upon hitting the ground or would you have a heart attack or something while falling? Can anyone tell me?

Hero

Thats absolutley awful....

I remember this happening because it was a huge atrocity and because there were a lot of people on board heading to a conference on AIDS. So doctors, researchers, and a lot of people who were working towards a cure.

So he didn't come with them on their dream vacation? Anybody else knows the storu behind this? RIP beautiful souls.

My uncle was one of the Aids researchers on board. This attack has caused so many future lives to be lost. So many dedicated people on there.

Yes, it was Russian BUK. 1. Separatists don't have planes so Ukraine don't need to use anti-air systems. 2. After shoot separatists posted many cheers about shooting plane. 3. From what I read, Russian BUK is slightly different from Ukraine's, it's modernized and modernized parts was found in wrecks. 4. International court proved it was Russia.

may they rest in peace. i guess the pilot took this route with out consultation. this was the second tragedy of malaysian airlines on the same year which lead to their closure.

A black day in Dutch history.. it was impressive how people lined up next to higways grom A-Z to show respect when bodyparts returned. When i think of that im still surprised by the amount of love, peace and empathy humanity is willing to show...

Why they fly over warzone?

Some pictures deserve recognition - brave lives like the nurse working during the Ebola epidemic. That's not a sick posting. It's a tribute.

😔

all the butthurt russians need to stfu right now. as if russians wouldnt ever do this sort of s**t, they totally would. rip to victims of this horrific event

the story was simple so he was there he was standing up then took a picture but after 2 hours later the soviets thought it was a spy amarican airplane so the shot it down walked to the airplane then seen the child one of the soviets witch was a rookie threw up and they count the cajultys then they relesed to the public "hey we just killed some buteful people durp da dur" didnt happen but felt like that

This is one of the reasons why I have problems with russia, it may be ukraine, but I think russia is responsible for mh17,Let's hope so that someone sends a spy to find the 4 mh17 suspects, and they kill the 4 suspects in public,

If facebook users write that Russia, Ukraine, separatists or somebody else shot down MH17, that's their personal opinion, but for Bored Panda to officially state that Russia shot down that plane is NOT OK. Russia, despite what braindead ukrainians say, does not take part in the fighting in southern Ukraine. It is a civil war and it's totally pointless to shoot down a passenger jet for Russia. All evidence points to Ukraine but since the whole investigation has been a farce from start to finish we will probably never know.

Note, the woman's shirt literally means "long live"

RUSSIA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MH17 CRASH. IT WAS UKRAINE ALL THE WAY AND USA KNOWS ABOUT IT THATS WHY THEY DONT RELEASE SATELLITE IMAGES FROM THAT AREA, BECAUSE IT WOULD SHOW WHO AND HOW. IF IT WAS RUSSIA, PROOF WOULD BE ALL OVER THE GLOBAL MEDIA. STOP BULLSHITTING!!!!!!FAKE MEDIA. PS. According to fake media, Russia is involved in all bad, however single evidence is yet to find its way to public.

by Ukrainian fascists you meant to say

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARMMaTUFCz8 Original video posted by BBC. At 6:20 in the video OSCE representative reports findings from the scene, says the MH317 had heavy damage from machine gun fire. Russian radar imaging proving a Ukrainian fighter jet was in the air with MH317 has been completely ignored by Dutch investigators. This video has subsequently been removed and is difficult very difficult find. As yet there are merely accusations and assumptions trying to implicate Russia. To date there is no hard evidence, non whatsoever, to prove Russia was involved.

It wasn't shot down by the russian led forces,the CIA shot down the plaine by ukrainians!

Still no proof of the Russian involvement in the crash! It could as well be the Ukrainian forces who did it!

WE DON'T KNOW if it was Russia who shot. Ukraine has the same armed equipment which they have after the fall of the USSR. Stop making politics!

A little poison in otherwise interesting and at times heart-breaking post. Responsibility for the fate of people in this flight lies with party who benefited the tragedy - Ukraine. BP admins: stick to the facts, avoid this, you are pi&#ing off large part of your followers.

Looks like a scene in a movie

I've heard about them. The man protected his girlfriend by throwing her to the ground out of harms way when the gunman started shooting. She survived thanks to his quick reflexes and selflessness. A true hero.

Which is why you need a reserve parachute. And a reserve reserve parachute. And a reserve reserve reserve parachure.

The fault is of the parents, not keeping an eye on their child. Harambe may have been dangerous, but so is letting your child wander around at that age. They should have been supervising.

Horrifying...

His look is like he just realized what's about to happen. Sad.
