None of the Western news media outlets have covered the carpet bombing of Lugansk. Everyone is covering the battle near the border post in Lugansk, but all are silent on the aerial bombardment.

Yes, and there seems to have been a second airstrike against the blockpost in Mirnyj: http://www.aif.ru/euromaidan/1181540I think it might be a case, where the pilot misidentified the target and bombed the city center

Here is more about the airstrike against Lugansk: http://kompravda.eu/daily/26238.5/3120452/The journalist, who was an eyewitness says 7 people died in his field of vision. The journalist himself was en-route to the spot, and only accidentally got delayed when he met an acquaintance and exchanged a few words with him. Otherwise he would have been among the dead. He writes of a demolished fountain in front of the building and remembers how yesterday he was taking pictures of kids in front of that fountain. All killed are civilians: 4 women and 3 men. The strike seems to have been targeted specifically in front of the building, where people usually congregate.

Funnily enough, I can see Voice Of Russia and a few YT channels as the only ones covering this.
Do you have any other english language sources on this?

Run http://kompravda.eu/daily/26238.5/3120452/ through Google translate. Also in Russian: http://www.interfax.ru/world/379240The Minister of Health of Lugansk Peoples Republic, Natalia Arhipova is the among the murdered people. The Ukrainian authorities are quick to blame the resistance fighters, saying that they mis-aimed an artillery shot. However in this CCTV recording it is clearly visible that 3-4 shots hit the ground in an evenly-spaced row from right to left. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLuInNXfXFkArtillery hits are more scattered. A 5% slow-down can be seen here: http://rusvesna.su/news/1401724110

The Russia Today is available in English and Russian, in addition to a variety of other languages. Here is the article covering this topic: http://rt.com/news/163076-ukraine-lugansk-clashes-jet

This one is important! You can see trails of 3-6 rockets that were launched from the jet!
The Ukrainian officials are twisting the truth, trying to say that it was someone from the ground who shot at the jet and that the heat-seeking missile hit a warm air-conditioner on the fourth floor of the building. The problems are: - A large number of fallen trees on the ground - Impact craters on the ground. - There never was an air conditioner under that window to begin with. http://rusvesna.su/news/1401724110

It's all manufactured, the media tells everyone what to believe and what to think to distract them from real issues.

I noticed that comments on all newschannels are flooded by UKR-trolls trying to convince people that it was a non-existent air-conditioner that got hit.

Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns air strikes against Lugansk: "On the 2nd of May Kiev government has again conducted a crime against its own people. Peaceful residents of Ukraine were killed as a result of an air strike against the building of Lugansk regional administration." http://itar-tass.com/politika/1233571?utm_medium=rss20

Yep the Western media only shows you what it wants you to hear. Important things are left out of the news everytime, and instead they come with crappy news like Justin bieber, Miley Cyrus or Beyonce. I have heard nothing about this and im gonna look in the papers tommorow if I can find anything about this. But it's not clear to me what really happened because almost every newsarticle is in Ukranian? or Russian? And the google translate one is a really bad translation.

This thread already gives a good recap of the events and video sources (I didn't know I'd be saying it, but thankfully CCTV and people with cameraphones are everywhere).
If you have a question to some specific articles, give a shout here, and I or someone else will help with a translation.
