Malaysian passenger plane shot down over Ukraine My microblog notes this evening: A Malaysian passenger jet was blown out of the sky over eastern Ukraine today. It occurred around mid-day our time, but as of 8:55 p.m., I have not read a story about it yet. I'm waiting for the media to finish with their rush-to-be-first-with-errors period. It's best to wait 6 to 12 hours after the event has occurred to read a story, which I will call version 1.0. Then wait another 12 hours to read version 2.0. Consuming too much information in the initial hours leads to a confusing waste of time. At 9:26 p.m., I have tabs open for the following links and will consume in the following order: # http://cir.ca/news/malaysia-airlines-flight-17 # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17 # http://www.vox.com/2014/7/17/5913209/malaysia-airlines-ukraine-russia # http://www.vox.com/2014/7/17/5912677/plane-ukraine-malaysia
