Malaysia Airlines MH17 Shot Down in Ukraine


On July 17, 2014 Malaysian Airlines MH17 crashed in Ukraine killing 298 people. Until recently it wasn't confirmed what caused the plane to crash, until recently the thought of the crash being caused by mechanical or technical failure was still being thrown around. But finally it has been confirmed the Malaysian Airlines MH17 was shot down with 'high energy objects' by pro-Russian rebels. One piece of evidence or lack there of that the plane was shot down by a missile was that there was no emergency situation message recorded from either of the pilots. The investigation is being led by a team from the Netherlands and they are trying their best to identify the bodies in the crash so they get a proper burial. A separate Dutch investigation team is focusing on bringing the perpetrators to justice.
In my opinion I believe that the crash never should have happened. I cannot see the purpose behind killing an air plane full of innocent men, women and children. I also think that the Dutch investigation is taking much longer than it should as it has been 53 days since the crash and they have not caught the perpetrators yet. As for now, unfortunately the perpetrators who committed this crime have not been found and families of those passed on the flight are still in mourning.

  1. I agree that the investigation is way too slow, and I think some people are hiding the truth. It is really sad for the ones that loses their family members and I suggest we avoid go pass the Russian Ukraine area because there are conflicts going on.
