the line coming from Kiev is that rebels thought they were shooting down a troop carrier. It seems to me that the jet was flying too high for it to have been a troop carrier bound for some place in the Ukraine .The crash site is about 30 miles from the Ukraine-Russia border, the plane was flying at over 30,000 ft . If the rebels did shoot it down they must surely have known it was heading towards Russia , which a Ukraine military troop carrier obviously would not have been doing .
