Should the airlines be accountable as well as Russia for Malaysia flight 17?

Plenty of hell and guilt to go around. Maybe the victims families can sue Russia , and the airline , like 9/11 families can sue Saudi Arabia?

Why blame the airlines? They were following international flight regulations and routes. Hardly can be their fault that some idiot on the ground has a rocket launcher.

It was flying at an acceptable altitude – over 30K feet. It was following well known and frequently use air routes.

I don’t see that the airlines did anything abnormal.

I admit. When it first happened, I was flummoxed as to why they would fly over a war zone. Baffling.

Absolutely, the airlines should bare some responsibility.

Getting on a plane is a risk though. A fuselage with two or more rockets tied to it? Sounds like something Wiley Coyote would rig up to catch the Road Runner.

Yes. I see the parallel between this and the Saudi Arabia lawsuit garbage.

It’s sad. Just sad. All of it….

Thank you @MrGrimm888 .
And @elbanditoroso the abnormal thing was is that the chose to fly over a war zone, just to save fuel, sure it was a path they took many times before but that was before it came a conflict zone, so I do think they should be accountable as well.
