Definitely not a mistake on the part of those who shot it down. I find it terrifying though that anyone would fly over a conflict zone like this. Yeah, yeah, it's probably the sheltered American in me, but still. I know that it was considered safe to do so because they were at a high altitude, but...fuck that.
