Malaysia Airlines Diverts Flight Over Syrian Airspace »


Whoa whoa whoa whoa… 


THIS:



Data from Flight Radar 24 shows that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH4, an Airbus A380 flying from Kuala Lumpur to London, was diverted from its usual route over Ukraine in favor of passing over a country that is currently under siege by ISIS terrorists, some of whom are armed with U.S.-made Stinger missiles.

Unbelievable. But true..


So .. the airliner choosing to avoid Ukraine is smart. But flying over hostile portions of Syria where another way is baking away the life and limbs of people is not smart..


Here’s the full MH4 flight path: http://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/mh4#3dbdafe


I am not an aviation expert.. but someone out there who may be tell me this: Is this all normal?
