As has happened several times before, Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC is the only news anchor who correctly sorted the sheep from the goats. Through his interviews with several sources on July 18 it became crystal clear that the blame for the loss of MH17 lies entirely with the management of Malaysian Airlines.
It is well known to the airline community that this is a combat zone where Ukrainian war planes and helicopters are being shot down by the rebels. In April the US Federal Aviation Administration identified that part of Ukraine as a no-fly zone for US airlines. Why did Malaysian Airlines ignore this advisory and choose to continue to fly this route? Flying through a known war zone is absolute craziness.
