Tony,
Before you impart these "important updates" do you still believe the following that you stated on Russia Today?

You claim at 1:30 the following.

You've also got an aircraft MH17 that was diverted 2,000 feet it seems. The Kiev ATC asked it to descend closer to the ground and 300 miles to the north to actually divert this specific plane.


Are you still spouting this non-sense in regard to the MH17 flight path?

The Russians agreed with the MH17 flight path and signed off on the preliminary MH17 report.

According to the flight plan, flight MH17, would initially fly at Flight Level 330 (FL330) above Ukraine until the waypoint PEKIT, then climb to flight level 350.

At 12.53 hrs MH17 was asked if it could climb to flight level 350 in accordance with the filed flight plan, but they replied that they were unable to comply and requested to maintain at flight level 330. This change of plan was agreed, and other aircraft in the area were told to climb to flight level 350 to avoid a potential separation conflict with MH17.

The crew of MH17 asked to divert the flight path by 20 nautical miles due to bad weather they could see on their route. MH17 then asked if flight level 340 was available. They were told that it was not available due to the other civilian aircraft being assigned heights in order to deconflict with MH17. That is why MH17 continued on its altitude of 33,000 feet.

See page 11 of 34 2.1 History of the flight.

MH17 was not diverted 300 miles to the north as you claim.

Also remember that the Russian Ministry of Defence lied about the MH17 flight path in their media briefing. The question is why?
