Most Russians Believe Ukraine Shot Down Flight MH17
A poll released by the independent Russian pollster Levada found that a large number of Russians believe that Ukraine shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, with 46 per cent saying they think it was brought down by a Ukrainian army anti-aircraft missile and 36 per cent saying a Ukrainian military plane shot it down (multiple answers were allowed, meaning the percentages do not add up to 100 and people may have chosen more than one answer).

One possible thought is the Malaysia Plane underside is painted grey, along with the engines, could be confused with a military plane from below, not that we will ever know.
That high it was tracked on radar, so color shouldn't have mattered.
An SU-25 was in the same airspace and quite possibly the ground crew thought they were shooting at the Ukraine fighter.
I think that the world is pretty well convinced that a missile brought it down and none of he warring factions have denied it, so who cares? The concern and all the searching ought to be about finding the bodies and getting them out of there. Let the ones that live and fight in the territory worry about the wreckage.

I'm sure if they were uncaring enough to shoot it down, a little looting is not going to affect their conscience. Fact is, their are still 80+ bodies scattered across the scene and for the sake of everyone, they need to be out of there, with all dignity possible. Unfortunately, there are probably some that will never be found but those that are there need to be removed.
