This can be now greatly exploited by the pro-Kiev propaganda no matter what the cause of the crash was.
The assumption would be that rebels had a mistaken ID thinking it was a military transport or something. Keep in mind there is likely a pretty big mix of average joes and actual trained soldiers. It's a situation where mistakes like this can easily happen.

Why the area wasn't a no fly zone for passenger jets is lost on me given the on going conflict.
