New footage emerges of MH17 crash aftermath, 1 yr memorial

“Thanks for flying with us and have a nice day”, she said.

The quiz included photographs of the Malaysia Airlines plane’s wreckage and memorials to the victims, and participants who selected the right option in the multiple-choice poll were greeted with the automatic response: “Congratulations!”

Now, sources from the official Dutch Safety Board have told CNN that their official report, slated to be released in October, will say that MH17 was destroyed by “a Buk missile – a Russian surface-to-air missile – that was used, launched from a village in Russian rebel controlled territory”. At one point, a man dressed in combat fatigues dumps clothes and other belongings out of a backpack.

The rebels appear to be surprised that the aircraft was a commercial airliner, not a fighter jet, and can be heard saying “civilians, civilians” and “this is a passenger plane” in Russian.

A preliminary report released in the Netherlands previous year said the plane had no technical problems in the seconds before it broke up in the sky after being struck by multiple objects – a conclusion that experts said likely pointed to a missile strike.

Villagers congregated in the church in Hrabove before making a procession to the crash site, where a small stone with a plaque was dedicated to the victims.

According to global Business Times, a joint initiative by the countries involved, have called for a tribunal into in the MH17 Ukraine disaster, to “try those responsible” for shooting down the aircraft. Russian Federation and the rebels deny the claims, blaming the Ukrainian government for the air disaster.

The locals – mostly bussed in by separatists – waved flags of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic and carried banners accusing Kiev of killing innocent people in the ongoing battle with the rebel forces.

The Australian Associated Press (AAP) reported that the plinth sits in soil brought back by an Australian police officer from the crash site near Donetsk, close to the Ukraine-Russia border.

He knew that the place where MH17 came to rest was sacred and that a piece of it should come back to Australia.

“Today, our people recall this tragedy and share the grief and sorrow of the families who lost their loved ones”, he said. Some kissed the bouquets before they placed them down, while others kissed their fingers and pressed them against the plaque.

New “sickening” video related to the downed Malaysia Airlines MH17 and aired today purportedly shows Russia-backed rebels rummaging through the bags of dead passengers, triggering fresh demands from top Australian leaders for Russia’s cooperation in the probe.

Tears flowed during the emotional ceremony, as photographs of the smiling faces of victims were flashed up on to big screens followed by the word “remember”.

Background: They decided to do it this way, to look like we have brought down the plane.

The Netherlands has been tasked with leading the retrieval of victims’ remains and investigating the cause of the crash, as well as finding and punishing possible perpetrators.

A draft version of the final report was circulated this month to representatives of Malaysia, Ukraine, the USA, Russia, Britain, Australia and the Netherlands for their comments and suggested revisions.

The Kremlin said in a statement that Mr Putin had “explained Russia’s position regarding the premature and counter-productive initiatives of several countries, including the Netherlands, on the establishment of an worldwide tribunal”.

“It was a war zone; it was a crash site; there were people trying to work out what had happened”, Guard said. Arms experts quickly realized that the anti-aircraft missiles which the Russian-backed fighters were known to possess were not capable of hitting an aircraft at MH17’s altitude.
