Its getting quite annoying having the CNN Breaking News app on my phone and waking up in the morning to see multiple "Breaking News" alerts about what they DID NOT find this time.

It's 24 hour news. All of those channels are horrible.

Another one missing. 295 on board. Believed to have been shot down by Ukraine border.

I truly believe flying is safe, but remind me not to fly on Malaysia Airlines.

President Obama wrote:“It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy..."
Good grief, someone get that man a teleprompter, stat.

So, is this an attack by rebels in Ukraine to pull Russia back in to the conflict or a direct attack by Russia on what they thought was a Ukranian warplane? Russia already shot down a Ukranian jet, so they may have been attempting to repeat that feat. Should be interesting to see what dominoes fall next.

The United States has concluded the Malaysian airline was shot down, a senior U.S. official told CNN's Barbara Starr. One radar system saw a surface-to-air missile system turn on and track an aircraft right before the plane went down Thursday, according to the official. A second system saw a heat signature at the time the airliner was hit, the official said. The United States is analyzing the trajectory of the missile to try to learn where the attack came from.
