Looks like an embraer? I wonder what could possibly have caused that, it looks like it was going very slow and not really being controlled, maybe a problem with hydraulics?

Maybe it would have been better to ditch in the water?

MH17 was tragically blown out of the sky by one or more SAM(s).

This was intact on final approach but obviously had some serious issues to contend with (which I would defer to the pilot exerts). It would be horribly unfortunate if a bird strike followed by some sort of ground machine gun fire caused the end result…😳

Edit: extraordinary (miracle?) that ~29 survived and some were able to rescue others.
