3:04 pm
when her son told her a body had fallen from the sky and broken through the roof of their house the badly mangled victim of the malaysian airlines flight has now been laying in in this kitchen for more than a day. at first i didn't notice and yes then my son went out and said mom there is a body in the kitchen there was plastic everywhere i thought it was just a pile of rubbish but then i had this too that it was a human body without a leg and was arms twisted and broken it was a man who fell out of the play and through the roof it's a murder a real murder. my wife and i were having dinner when we heard a strange noise that sounded like clapping a soon as we went out of the house we saw a body lying nearby it must have fallen from a very high altitude the only thing left on the body was a t. shirt it was a man the legs were broken i saw practically no blood now you can smell the odor over here there are no words to describe it here's my house and it all happened
3:05 pm
right here it's like i was watching t.v. i heard a roar looking through explosions i would know and saw spinning plane without a wing with something falling out of it the area where the plane crashed is near several mines that sustain people economically in the done as krege and so it comes as no surprise that coal miners were some of the first on hand to help but the scene of the tragedy. i've lived here with my family my whole life here where the crash happened i've been working in this coal mine for forty years and now i just want to help that's all there are thirty people in our ship and just two of them went to work the others came here to help you with this thought rudd says of the victims are going to be arriving here shortly and no doubt they will be seeking answers but it seems they could be in for a quite a wait to find out just how their loved ones were taken from them from on costs or

of art see donetsk ukraine. apart from the netherlands citizens of at least nine other countries are among the victims including malaysia australia and the u.k. tributes are being paid to the victims across the world in the malaysian capital where flight m h seventeen was heading there were scenes of confusion and anger as the next year shifts the reports we're now here in kuala lumpur where the mh seventeen plane was supposed to land scenes on friday where he was very emotional the relatives of those who were killed on that plane crash literally stormed the airport particularly the offices of the malaysian airline company demanding the lists of those who wore on board well most of the relatives of the mh seventeen victims have already flown to ukraine to identify the bodies of their loved ones the team of investigators from malaysia also went to key of the transport minister of the country is flying there tonight he just spoke to us about the investigation about several irregularities the authorities have noted first of all the change of
3:07 pm
altitude they confirmed that the plane changed altitude from thirty five thousand feet to thirty three thousand feet he says this is a normal practice for the world but there is no explanation whatsoever why this time the air traffic controllers in ukraine told the plane to go lower and now the regularity is the destiny of the flight recorders because we've been hearing contradictory reports coming from kiev authorities that they either had the flight recorders then they said they did not have them the malaysian authorities confirm they have no information about the whereabouts of these flight recorders which of course would be instrumental for this investigation and last but not least they've also spoken that seventy five airlines flew for the same route just the day before the crash but still the malaysian authorities were assured by the own ground they are traffic controllers that the route was deemed safe in fact they said that several other airlines were flying the same route within minutes. before the crash of course a lot of questions remain and many doubts remain and they beat the malaysian
3:08 pm
authorities hoping that maybe questions will become clear out once they. get access to the crash site and be able to conduct investigations that actually are shifty from malaysia moscow and washington are insisting that the evidence recovered from the scene of the crash must be made available to international investigators not swap the russian foreign minister discussed with the u.s. secretary of state over the phone refinish now has the details. on the official website of russia's foreign ministry worried that this conversation between mr lavrov and mr kerry was very onerous and very open the two top diplomats agreed that all the evidence from the downed malaysian airplane including flight recorders so-called black boxes should be made available for the international investigation that both parties stressed should be independent unbiased and transparent and also that the international experts should be given access to work freely on the ground also lover of and carry stress that the ukrainian conflict has no military
3:09 pm
solution and should be resolved peacefully and they pledged to use influence on all the sides been involved in this. long protracted conflict to achieve this go speaking at the white house on friday the u.s. president claimed there was firm evidence that the malaysian plane was down by a surface to air missile fired from territory controlled by the key have forces he also lashed out at russia for supporting them going to church account takes a closer look at those allegations president obama said the misawa shot from the territory controlled by separatists in eastern ukraine evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by a surface to air missile that was launched from an area that is controlled by russian backed separatists inside of ukraine moreover we know that these separatists have received a steady flow of support from russia having said that he also added we don't know exactly what happened i think it's very important for us to make sure that. we
3:10 pm
don't get out ahead of the facts. and at this point in terms of identifying specifically what individual or group of individuals or of. personnel ordered that the strike how it came about the u.s. president called for a credible international investigation and that is something all members of the u.n. security council are calling for. because nobody at this point knows who shot the miss solve the blame game is about who created the ground for this tragedy to happen and here we see a clash of different views the u.s. says russia is responsible because it supported the rebels russia says key if it's responsible because it launched this military operation in eastern ukraine and the us supported it at this point we have this vicious back and forth between everyone involved and not involved. these are some of the media headlines appearing in the wake of the tragedy and the old saying that directly blame the law the mere puton
3:11 pm
speculation has been piling up over who is responsible ukraine's government has issued what it claims to be a leaked call between local militia fighters admitting to donning a civilian plane and this unverified video circulating online purports to show a book mistrial launcher being smuggled out of ukraine after thursday's crash intelligence expert charles hsu bridge say the claims are lacking solid evidence one could say from the outset with some investigation of ground from which it was launched and of course that would give an indication even though it's accepted i think. much of east ukraine is in a fluid situation in terms of who controls why any given time the ukraine government has released what it claims are a number of evidence should lead for example it has said. intercepted communications it says between people on the ground suggested that we have those who are firing or how far the all weapons. ukraine government has in the past said
3:12 pm
that the rebels have these weapon systems i should point out that of course the government claims i was yet on cooperated in respect to these intercepted transmissions and also of course. the prosecutor general himself you know i have this system so it's fair to say there's a lot of confusion at the moment and really this really points the way to the importance of a thoroughly independent. investigation to uncover all of the leads in this case. despite the accusations being made there are still more questions of a with a catastrophe and nurses defense ministry is the information from kiev it is put together a list of questions why did you create a rush to blame self defense forces after the tragedy thought is the first question also most schools are asking kiev why it deployed rocket launchers in the area the spite the local militia having no planes question number three will ukraine make tracking data of its warplanes available in the wake of the crush and another
3:13 pm
question is why was the aircraft even allowed to fly over the conflict zone in the first place indeed there are many unexplained details surrounding the tragedy let's take a closer look some of them first data from the flight aware service suggest the plane diverge from its original route this is the mop of the course taken by other airlines earlier this week as you can see here the doomed flight went further north in the raid the other flying over ukraine it's not clear why it took the path second the ukrainian controllers the crew to fly lower than the height which was originally requested that is according to a statement issued by malaysia airlines themselves it says the boeing seven seventy seven was supposed to fly thirty five thousand feet but was instructed to the send to thirty three thousand feet and finally it's also unclear why the boeing aircraft flew over a zone of heavy fighting the combat between ukrainian forces and local militia has
3:14 pm
been ongoing in the area for months now since kiev launched what it calls an anti terror operation in the country's east we asked aviation expert christie ates to comment. it's a brave quest. line so not being prevented from flying through this this conflict. the international civil aviation organization i.k.o. based in montreal. was lee organization and to declare the end of space to be safe. presumably based on information received from the ukrainian authorities is. based in paul so perhaps flawed intelligence to be the weaponry that insurgents on the border may or may not still be. a whole bunch of
