A friend from Europe called earlier the night to ask where I was. I was surprised by the urgency in his tone. He informed me that MAS MH17 that plied the Amsterdam-KL-Jakarta route crashed at Ukraine near the Russian border. He was concerned as my FB showed that I sometimes travel vide that MAS.
I searched the Net and saw no such news, so I thought he got it wrong. Later heard from Astro Awani that a MAS plane ferrying 295 passengers and crew, was shot down at Ukraine. Not much details on the incident as yet- there should be more info vide news come morning.
What a tragedy! Hope there were survivors, however low the odds were...
