We translated this video to the best our ability, but the sound quality is poor:

“What’s going on?"

"It’s a plane. Look!"

"It means the pilot died. Yes." 

"The plane!"

Then someone asks, “Why is everyone so excited?”

Another onlooker explains, "At first it was flying. It was coming from this side. It was flying, flying."

Another person chimes in, “It’s in a couple pieces. That’s what it seems like.”

Interfax reports that the plane lost contact at about 4:20 p.m. Ukraine time and that the airplane was brought down by a "ground-to-air missile."

The crash comes just months after Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared in March. 

Sources within Ukraine tell The Wire that Ukrainian television reporters are stressing that this was a plane "crash," rather than a plane which was shot down. Press in-country are saying Ukrainian authorities have already sent a group there to investigate now.

Our source noted that reports both on Ukrainian and Russian local television were careful to say that Russia is about 200 km away from the crash site. The space above Donetsk, per these reports, is closed airspace. The area was set to be closed through October 31st, offering this explanation, "According to the indication of the aviation authorities of Ukraine the air space over Lugansk and Donetsk areas is closed for flights of civil aircraft."
