One of the most telling aspects of all this is that BA (and others) routed around the area. Someone told them it wasn't safe. No-one told Malaysian Airlines, or they ignored the advice.
SA-11 (or -17) being active in an area where aircraft are being brought down should be a blanket closure. This is key, for me. The main point of failure was allowing these flights in the first place.
Responsibility, eh, that runs from DC to Moscow to Kuala Lumpur with plenty of stops in-between. "Who pressed the button" is far too simplistic.
