Investigators Discover BUK Missile Parts At MH17 Ukraine Crash Site



BBC: MH17: Ukraine crash site 'yields Russian missile parts'

Fragments of a suspected Russian missile system have been found at the Flight MH17 crash site in Ukraine, investigators in the Netherlands say.

They say the parts, possibly from a Buk surface-to-air system, are "of particular interest" and could help show who was behind the crash.

But they say they have not proved their "causal connection" with the crash.

MH17 crashed on land held by Russian-backed rebels in July 2014, killing all 298 on board.

It had 283 passengers on board, including 80 children, and 15 crew members.

WNU Editor: For those who may not know .... I worked at ICAO (the UN's International Civil Aviation Organization) for a few years .... I know that these investigators are very good at their job, and I am very confident that they will eventually learn all the details on what brought down MH17. As to who ordered the plane to be shot down .... that is a different story. I am personally leaning on the pro-Russian rebel side for being responsible .... but the complete truth is something that I suspect we will only know 2 or 3 decades from now when the missile crew and the commander responsible for this disaster will finally step forward (individually or as a group) and admit their crime.

Are you joking or serious?

Is this kind of persons that work at UN's?

How many times did Russia violated UCR airspace since the conflict erupted?

How many times UCR used missiles to bring down the jets?

Since the conflict erupted how many Helis, jets, airplanes did the russian terrorists bring down?

There you have your answer!

I would be ashamed to have a representative of my country working at UN's that had your code of honor/morale/principles.

I don't know if I could live with myself if I knew I accidentally shot down an airliner.

All of my accomplishments would amount to nothing....because I took so many away.

A suicide note is a possibility.
