You just can't trust so-called "authorities".
Just avoid the area! Your life's not worth it.

They were flying the shortest route to save fuel and probably thought they were immune from attack as
Malaysia is heavily involved in supplying arms to all manner of regimes around the world

No many people would expect a missile to hit a commercial aircraft flying over 30,000 feet. Also the flight path was approved by the Ukraine and Russian governments. Also other airlines were flying in the area. Also previous flights by MH 17 were flown south of the war zone. Rumor is that there was a storm in the path of MH 17's usual flight path so they opted to fly north of the storm which took them into the war zone.
