Dude, seriously, rawwi2a shwayy. Read the news from other news sources than Naharnet. There is a high probability that the pro-Russian did indeed shoot it down, thinking it was a Ukrainian Antonov plane, with Russian-made Buk missile systems that they captured from the Ukrainian army. Go listen to the alleged "intercepted communications" (Google it) - this was a terribly tragic mistake, as every untimely death is, and you can hear it even in the voices of the rebels.

Sad. But let's hope the monetary compensation for their heirs will be hefty enough. After all, someone lucky should be able to buy real estate in Lebanon. A shack labeled a villa in Mayrouba sells for $990,000 with a view that overlooks... well... umm... duh... nothing spectacular???. What a steal!
