It has been suggested that the Ukrainians carried out an airstrike timed to be right underneath MH17, hoping that the rest would take care of itself.
It's equally absurd to suggest that the Russians or their friends in eastern Ukraine would have the slightest interest in committing such an act.
But somebody did.
