Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 has a long list of passengers that were killed during its tragic crash in the eastern part of Ukraine last July 17 after it was reportedly shot down by a missile.
The sudden crash of the said aircraft has gained worldwide attention after it was known that what happened is not just brought by natural circumstances. Investigators of the crash later on revealed that the crash has been due to a launched missile although it is still unclear who the ones responsible of striking the attack are. Despite of what investigators claim regarding the origin of the crash, there are still theories claiming that the sudden incident has been due to some technical failures of the plane.
The crash of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 has actually caused great tension between Russia and other countries wherein the list of passengers came from. The blame has been previously placed to the pro-Russian separatists after the plane went down in the area controlled by the rebels; however, they denied such accusations. It can also be recalled that other country leaders has placed an ultimatum to Russia's president Vladimir Putin after being reportedly not cooperating when it comes to the retrieval of the dead bodies in the crash site.
While authorities are still investigating the over-all situation, new update released by the Dutch Safety Board (DSB)suggests that the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crashed after it has been structurally damaged by lots of high-energy objects that penetrated the aircraft. Dutch experts have become the leading investigators of the crash after 193 of the passengers list were said to be Dutch nationals.
The new report also indicates that Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 did not crash due to technical faults since authorities already obtained the cockpit voice recorder and it revealed that everything has been normal before it was shot down in the air at around 1:20 (UTC). The aircraft's passengers' list reveals that 298 people were on board en route to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam. No one survived from the crash.
