In total, 18 people had been confirmed dead as of Wednesday morning, including the three children, according to statements from Ukrainian officials. Twenty-two people who were wounded were being treated in the hospital, including 10 children.

Mr. Tymoshenko said that of those killed, nine had been onboard the helicopter when it crashed. The rest of the dead were children, parents or others on the ground, he said.

Honestly I’m amazed they haven’t. Must just be a matter of time.

They blamed the Polish crash on Russia and rabid nationalists made like an entire movie about how their incompetent pilots weren’t actually to blame but it was really evil Russian mind rays or something.

Their evidence for Russian involvement is that some bodies had “bullet holes”. Gee, I wonder if a high-speed impact with terrain might also cause projectiles to be lodged into your body. Impossible! Must be those dastardly Russians.

He followed one rule perfectly: become the interior minister

But then he broke the golden rule of getting in the helicopter.

NEVER GET ON AN HELICOPTER

That’s just a general rule of thumb. There’s a reason why people nickname them ‘crashcopters’
