I was referring to MH17. I too was flying over that area to a destination in east Ukraine not long before and then all changed and Kiev was our destination because rightfully the airspace was closed down.

Panam was also terrorism but internally rather than from the ground so both acts of terrorism which could be directed at an aircraft a train or a boat.

As a percentage they would hardly show up on the statistics of aviation crashes and I still go back to the fact that pilot error is the cause of the vast majority of crashes

Obviously a bomb or missile is out of the pilots control but I doubt the Kingair was taken out by either
