I'm fine thanks but I had a good friend and family travelling to Holland from KL on 17 July, trying to find out if he is OK !!

Just realized that the flight was going the other way.

This is ff-ing horrible, I have been on this flight before. I'm getting really p ed off with this bloody Russian dictator that thinks he can still act like bloody Stalin.

We should shut down his bloody gas pipelines (i.e. stop buying his gas) and starve them of income and let the economy implode like it did in the cold war days. JLR won't like it because I think the Russian market is a big market for them but they can start selling them somewhere else. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

Good to hear you're okay. You were first to mind when I heard. I hope your friends are well, too.

Thoughts and condolences to all affected. Terrible.

Thanks Craig. This sort of stuff scares the hell out of me. The world is most definitely not turning into a better place for sure. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

Good to hear you and family OK Eugene.

Just got a message from my friend (long term Dutch expat in KL with Malaysian wife and kids), they were fine their flight did get diverted. Load of my heart but already hearing of people that did have friends on the flight.

Every war has unwanted but certain collateral damage and so does this one. And almost all wars are about economic gain and so is this one. Shows you that virtually no government gives a hoot about what is right and what it decent, it is all about the money in the end. And money is more important than people, people that have family and friends, people that had a future and got destroyed because of greed and misplaced sense of justice/entitlement and other stupid ideas.

The other day I read about some Swedish neo nazi sniper fighting in the Ukraine against the "non-whites" and more of that sort of bullshit. They kill for stupid ideas based on ridiculous and most importantly faulty theories or they follow these perverted versions of religious faiths that are preaching being good, righteous etc. but get perverted by nutcases, idiots and psychos. Things are not well in this world and I feel that our kids are going to have a hell of a time if the current generation and next generations of politicians don't get their finger out and start doing what is right and not what is profitable for the short term. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
