While there are various questions that have already emerged from what was supposed to be Ukraine’s “slam dunk” proof confirming
Russian rebel involvement in today’s MH-17 tragedy, perhaps one just as
gaping question emerges when one looks at what is clearly an outlier
flight path in today’s final, and tragic, departure of the Malaysian
Airlines Boeing 777.
Perhaps the best visualization of what the issue is, comes from Vagelis Karmiros who has collated all the recent MH-17 flight paths as tracked by Flightaware and
shows that while all ten most recent paths pass safely well south of
the Donetsk region, and cross the zone above the Sea of Azov, it was
only today’s tragic flight that passed straight overhead Donetsk.

Why is the diversion from the traditional flight path and passage
over the highlighted zone a concern? Because as the following map from
the WSJ shows this is precisely where the restricted airspace is.

So perhaps before coming to “certain” conclusion about the
involvement of this rebel or that, the key questions one should ask
before casting blame, is why did the pilot divert from his usual
flight plan, why did he fly above restricted airspace, and just what,
if any instructions, did Kiev air control give the pilot in the minutes
before the tragic explosion?
