Last March 2014, a Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 went
falling from the sky. It carried Asian and majority of Dutch and European
travellers coming from the Netherlands to Singapore. Passing over some European
states, it went down.
Claims it was shot down by a missile proved true after
the remnants indicated a head-on explosion far away from wing engines. To shed
further light, Dutch-led investigations begun as majority of the 298 who died
on board were Dutch travellers.
After 15 months, the thought that all the passengers
died immediately after the incident is far from the truth. While comforting,
proper authorities, even the UN, couldn't even administer proper justice for those
who had died.
The
Horrifying Conclusion
According to the investigators, a Buk missile from the
Soviet era had downed the passenger plane March last year. An explosion
shattered the cockpit area of the plane. The cockpit crew, including all of its
pilots, died immediately.
The same fate wasn't shared by passengers.
Data revealed the passengers were conscious as the
hulls were destroyed. However, due to the sudden decompression and the lack of
oxygen at 33,000 feet, they saw the aftermath for about 60-90 seconds on air.
Terrifying, at the very least.
Political
Motive
Russia had denied involvement with the Ukrainian
rebels and said the missile angle was a "biased investigation with a
political motive."
The Buk Missile manufacturer had denied its
involvement with Ukrainian separatists and the Russian government.
The UN, still trying to use peaceful methods, has
garnered very low results.
It seems justice couldn't be served for these innocent
lives that have died in the hands of a careless, fatal human error.
