The first full telling of what happened to MH17 and the stories of those who were killed on that tragic day.

On 17 July 2014, Malaysian Airlines MH17 was shot out of the sky above the Ukraine. Aboard were 298 people, 38 of whom were Australians. No one survived.

Subsequently it was shown that the airliner was almost certainly hit by a Buk surface-to-air missile fired by Ukrainian separatists aided by the Russian military. The debris from the plane's disintegration mid-air was spread over 50 square kilometres, but for weeks rescue teams and investigators were denied access. The Russians have refused to take any responsibility for the deaths.

This is the story of some of the people who boarded that fatal flight and the conflict below them that was doomed to destroy their lives and the happiness of the people they left behind. The fullest account yet published, it is also the story of a continuing clamour for justice. Unsettling, compelling and revealing, Shot Down will provoke both outrage that this criminal act could have happened and deep sadness for the lives lost.

Who in the world says it was a missile e or a fighter jet that hot the plane MH 17?
It was mostly a bomb inside also. Here is what I learnt from my investigation of MNcs and also reading crimes of US govt and fake russia-usa cold war. It is all about stealing minerals for cheap - ends justifies the means. thaat is why oil pricdes are so low gold is dirt cheap. i have worked out the true price across geographies.
Here is most likely scenario of MH 370 AND MH17: it is not malaysia but other contires also it is ahppening.
Pentagon using Wallstreet banks CLEVERLY SABOTAGED mALYSIA AIRLINES operations BY BRIBING ENTIRE GOVERNEMTN OF MALAYISA UNDER NAJIB SINCE 2000. thier decoy was the imdb malaysia investment authority. billions have been stolen before these incidents. as all know.
MH 17: MUST BE A DECOY PLANE THE ORIGINAL MH 17 WAS POSSIBLY TAKeN OVER at some airport and substituted with this plane that was shot down.
MH 370: same it was spy plane decoy. substituted. CHINA DIVERTED THE PLANE and took it down over south china sea and then removed the cargo. AS THE PLANE WAS CARRYING SOME DRONE EQUIPMENTS. POSSIBLE only pentagon work FOR BOMBING RUSSIA OR CRIMEA ETC. FOR AS USUAL FAKE WAR.
so the above acts of war is a means and it is all for creating chaos. they do this kind of fraud in usa. I also had this shady flight with one usa airlines. this was a decade before this. they switched the plane to another international flight a real old plane. the flight manifest did not mention this. and my baggaes were not loaded and shipped later fews day after.
similar incident has been reported by canada tornoto flights to mexico. they stop over at texas for refuelling. must unloading a cargo. very shady americans.
