When there's a war going on, you don't want to get near it.
There is a war going on in Ukraine.
Why then did many airlines still choose to fly over Ukraine?
Because that's a shorter route.
So for saving fuel they take risks flying over a war zone.
To them money is more important than safety.
It's the greed that brought down the plane and got all the passengers killed.

Western media has not been thinking and reporting independently for many years.
Whatever the government says, the media rarely disagrees, even if the government is purposely misleading or miserably wrong.
Iraq War was the best example.
This time, like Ron Paul says, the Ukranian crisis started when US and EU started supporting protesters in Ukraine to overthrow a democratically elected president. But Western media conveniently forgot to mention that and idiotically followed the government propaganda by blaming someone else.
The government has a short list of countries they always put blames on: Anything wrong, it must be because of Russia, China, or some Muslim countries in Middle East. Always.
"They will not report that the crisis in Ukraine started late last year, when EU and US-supported protesters plotted the overthrow of the elected Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych. Without US-sponsored 'regime change,' it is unlikely that hundreds would have been killed in the unrest that followed. Nor would the Malaysian Airlines crash have happened," Paul wrote.

While it's important to find out who shot down the plane and why, if it's shot down, it's even more important to realize
(a) the whole thing could have been avoided if airline companies place safety above profit, and
(b) there wouldn't have been a war in Ukraine if US didn't sponsor a regime change in Ukraine, like it did in many countries since in Vietnam in 1960s.
