Quote:Apparently there are reports of the rebels calling Moscow and saying they accidentally shot down a civilian airliner but haven't seen anyone confirm the veracity of that.

That supports the other report I heard where a group did claim responsibility, then retracted it when they realized their mistake. Like I said earlier, mistaken identity makes sense as the most likely culprit, which is inexcusable.


There's a report that the black box was already recovered and is supposedly on it's way to Moscow already, so odds are we will never get to the bottom of this.
