There was Cubana 1976 - what year waas the Iranian aircraft full of passengers shot down and where is Ft 370 all now?

All sides are capable of this and it may have been nothing more than an accident.

Anton Gerashenko, an adviser to Ukraine's Interior Minister, said on his Facebook page the plane was flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters (33,000 feet) when it was hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher. A similar launcher was seen by Associated Press journalists near the eastern Ukrainian town of Snizhne earlier Thursday.
