Malaysia Airlines MH17 black boxes handover

Airline News

Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 update


The pro-Russian rebels holding the black boxes for Malaysia Airlines MH17 have agreed to hand over the recordings to Malaysian experts.

The Boeing 777 has crashed last Thursday, with all 298 passengers dieing because of the explosion.

The information gathered in the black boxes is expected to help investigators fully understand or just confirm the cause for this horrific accident.

The most common theory concerning the fate of Malaysia Airlines MH 17 is that a rocket has been launched by separatist forces in Ukraine.

The blame, however, is shifted from one side to another as Russia suggests that Ukraine is responsible for this disaster.

Recovered info should point out the exact metric parameters in which this accident has happened.

The black box handover has been conducted by the rebel commander Alexander Borodai and Najib Razak, Malaysian Prime Minister.

“Only then can the investigation into MH17 truly begin; only then can the victims be afforded the respect they deserve.

“We need to know what caused the plane to crash, and who was responsible for it, so that justice may be done.

“In recent days, there were times I wanted to give greater voice to the anger and grief that the Malaysian people feel. And that I feel. But sometimes, we must work quietly in the service of a better outcome.” Najib Razak, Malaysian Prime Minister

In the meantime, the horrors the families of the victims have to undergo are not yet over, as the „death train”, the train carrying the bodies, has finally left rebel territory and entered Khrakhiv.

From this point onward, the bodies will be shipped back to their countries as forensic analysis will be conducted further on in order to establish each of their identities.
