The commercial jet Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crashed over the southeastern border of Ukraine yesterday, killing all 298 people aboard. The US government confirmed the tragic news late in the afternoon, hours after the plane crashed, saying a surface-to-air missile brought it down. By that time, there were already several accusations about who was responsible for the act, and several vehement denials. Members of the Ukrainian government accused pro-Russian separatist rebels in the region. The most influential rebel group in the area disavowed the claim. The Russian government blamed the Ukrainian government for allowing flights in the area. As of Friday afternoon, the true perpetrators are still unknown.
