If there was a break in ATC coverage then it was probably related to lower airspace. MH and SQ have been routinely flying this airspace up until today. They haven't done anything wrong. |
It was the last paragraph that contained the relevant info, that said it hasn't been mentioned since which is suspicious in itself, it's either bogus or someone trying to hide something, think I'll go with bogus until something credible crops up about how closed or unclosed the airspace should've been.
As for who done it I don't think it was rebels, imo it's either Russian or Ukranian military.

The rebels have it and have said they'll cooperate fully...
