what is the future for malaysian airlines? on the side of the down malaysia airline in their access is restricted by gunmen. goes on russia to establish what exactly happened here i. . look at thea closer remains of malaysia flight in 17 -- mh 17.aged inspectors say bodies have been continuously removed from the site since the day of the crash. today, we were at a and we have seen and witnessed ourselves four wagons of which three were loaded with what we understand is 196 bodies in refrigerated conditions. >> this is the train containing many of the bodies and it provides photographic evidence of the challenges here during it is also guarded by armed separatists who have guns but no uniforms. their intent is clear, even if they're a of command is not. >> our obligation is to secure the strain, to prevent strangers from getting inside. none of the usual meticulous investigations are happening. cranes have already moved some of the debris of the widespread crash scene. whereabouts of the black ox like orders is unknown. the sit

let's listen in. >> have indicated that malaysian airlines flight mh17 was shot down. should it be confirmed, it would -- international law and be in -- malaysian condemns any -- in the strongest possible terms and calls for -- to safely drop -- international civil aviations, the ukraine government will institute an investigation into -- malaysia offers its full support to the investigation. malaysian did formally invited to participate and great -- malaysia also -- international investigations into the incident. and it is all parties to cooperate to ensure such an investigation can be completed. it ises essential that the integrity of the crash site be preserved. malaysia airlines -- the airline has arranged some 40 -- to be flown to amsterdam. separately, as the prime minister and now this morning malaysia will today dispatch a special malaysian disaster assistance and rescue team. in total, 35 team members, 15 members past -- ma hash ya airlines staff, two department of civil aviation staff -- on passengers, earlier today, malaysian airlines released -- on board the

in reporting the ukrainian air traffic control is telling the malaysian airliner to drop its altitude directly over a war zone it seems that american intelligence officials do have proof they say that a missile was responsible for taking out the malaysian aircraft one question is if it was flying at ten thousand meters approximately thirty thousand feet i spoke to an aviation expert yesterday who said you cannot identify from the ground with the naked eye what kind of plane is flying at thirty thousand feet in other words whoever took out this plane either knew exactly what they were going for all they made a mistake well i agree. they can see in the ground what they were actually writing the. thing and most likely that it was right. and actually. the. on fire and most likely thing on the transponder. and bomb itself. when this was detonated and exploded the missile nation. in my mind it does show in. my my i don't want to. jump to any illusions on any of this but it does seem to be actually being vetted and secondly it's like trying to say that. people leave me so why wasn't the. que

with respect to the malaysian airlines a group of separatists can't shoot down. military transport planes or they claim shoot down fighter jets without sophisticated equipment and sophisticated training and that is coming from russia so that. we don't yet know exactly what happened with respect to the mil to malaysian airlines although obviously we're beginning to draw some conclusions given the nature of. the shot that was fired. there are only certain types of anti-aircraft missiles that can reach up thirty thousand feet and shoot down a passenger jet. we have increasing confidence that it came from areas controlled by the separatists. but without having a definitive judgment on those issues yet what we do know is that. the violence that's taking place there is facilitated in part in large part because of russian support and they have the ability to move those separatists in a different direction if mr putin makes a decision that we are not going to allow. heavy armaments. and the flow of fighters into ukraine across the craning russian border then it will stop

one wonders about the reputationalle problems malaysian airlines may have following this yesterday and the disappearance of mh 370. this is a bad time for them. >> it is. it's extraordinary one airline can have two such extraordinary tragedies in the space of six months. the prime minister said early this morning it's a tragic day on what has been a tragic year for malaysia. at this stage there's no suggestion this is anything but an absolute appalling coincidence. this is not just a question of the fact they can push off responsibility for the question but it is -- they've been closely watched in how they handled it and what treatment they give the relatives and how much information does flow. as i said that first press conference was different to what we saw in the early days of disappearance of mh 370. >> sure. good to talk to you from kuala lumpur. thanks. now the manifest for that flight yesterday is pawed over as to establish how many were on board and where they came from and who they were. what has transpired in the last few hours and that quite a few on board, perhaps as many

malaysian airlines said in a statement that mh17 was in airspace approved by the internatioal civil aviation organization. the airline added, mh17 filed a flight plan requesting to fly at 35,000 feet through ukrainian airspace but was instructed by ukrainian air traffic control to fly at 33,000 feet. and of course, jenna, they have now told all the air crews to divert away from that area. back to you. jenna: important not to forget the families in all of this. david, thank you. eric: the malaysian tragedy capturing international headlines. world leaders bluntly blaming russia creating a environment in ukraine that allowed this to happen. look at front page of this morning's "new york daily news," which directly states, putin's war. 298 innocents killed in miss still strike on plane. joining us now, judith miller, pulitzer-prize-winning reporter, author and fox news contributor and tammy bruce, fox news contributor. judy, let me start with you, are the media responding to this and appropriately holding putin's feet to the fire? >> i think they are, eric. this is issue where putin bears direct

malaysian airlines is now in the process of notifying the next of kin.rime minister najib has definitely taken on the position that they will provide information when they can verify the facts. >> thank you. we can get over to new mexico. we are joined on the food -- on by allen deal. there is a lot of speculation right now. what sort of picture are you drawing? up thate reports hold somebody shut down another aircraft earlier this morning, i guess nobody has taken credit for that either, you wonder if whoever was doing that thought this was another tactical aircraft that were shut down. maybe they mistook this airliner. >> indeed, we've had some information from social media us saying that there were these progression rebels who did claim they had shut down a military jet, and then they realized what happened. they took those tweets down. what are the next steps if you are an investigator here? >> obviously, we need to get our hands on the wreckage and, of course, the black box. i also worked as an investigator for the u.s. air force. i'm sure there are

once again, that news from the head of the malaysian airline regulatory body. airline group says it believes that the crash was not flying in restricted air space. that is according to the reuters news agency. and dubai's emretired airline say as plane that was on it's way to kiev, has been told that it should return to the united arab emrest. what are your thoughts. >> they may think initially about shoulder. air defense systems and that isn't what we have here. they don't have the range or the maximum at fuel. according to by facts the news agency which is so far the only one i can see. or an s.a. 17, which are all russian surface aramis seal systems from the 1970's and eights. it would be 30 to 40,000, some of the early reports say ma 17 would have been at 33,000 feet. so all and all, a heavy major flat form like the s.a. 11 could very well have reached the aircraft. >> it includes many more as well. >> excuse me. it says on a website which i studied this that homicide a 90 to 95% success rate. in hits that this extreme altitude. >> yes, but it also depends o

malaysian airline 17. these are the only pictures we have from the scene at the moment. obviously a great deal of black smoke rising in the distance there. this is a picture from eastern ukraine, not far from the russian border. ukrainian government is claiming that the aircraft was shot down by ukrainian rebels who are operating in the eastern half of the country. bob orr is in washington for us covers national security and aviation over many many years. bob what can you add? >> scott whatever happened here happened very suddenly. and obviously without any knowledge on the part of the pilots. this is a flight safe cruise altitude of 33,000 feet, marry on merrily on its way from amsterdam to kuala lumpur and it comes down. if it was a missile, the plane would have no chance. you have a fairly fragile vehicle up there in the sky, it is a safe plane, with a great track record but no match for a missile, loaded with fuel. you're only part way into this very long flight. the wings are heavy with fuel. if that missile, if it was a missile, if that punctured the fuselage or a

down the malaysian airlines plane he insists his government has evidence to back up the claim the un security council expressed its condolences to the families of the plane crash victims of the ninety people on the malaysian flight to kuala lumpur from amsterdam un officials say eighty more children. and with the plane crash taking all attention since mid thursday kiev's ongoing crackdown in eastern ukraine carries on going on notice for the most part of the army's tightened its siege on the region's second largest city. just about sixty kilometers from where the malaysia jet came down. some images from the streets of shortly after a heavy artillery attack at least twenty locals killed the market left in ruins craters outside a church all the result of the latest offensive with more details on the price of the crackdown has. one of the major developments is that the airport has been taken over by the ukrainian army now this was one of the most highly contested area near this city and they have entered but not before inflicting heavy damage on its we're talking about shelling from air

jet went missing relatives of those on board were literally beseeching the malaysian airlines offices back then they still had hope of seeing their loved ones alive. there's no chance of that for the families connected to thursday's tragedy over ukraine but what unites the two apparently different disasters is the fact there are far more questions than answers starting with the mh seventeen jets flight path you move. and didn't see by the local pool. so you want to believe. that you can see the plane. but if that route was safe and many other jets had flown it on the day why had several airlines decided to change their paths malaysian authorities claim the plane was flying on the set route but flight tracker data published online suggests the path could have been changed to three hundred kilometers further north. international civil aviation community. we are going to. carry in some carry. very safe flying. cross. but if the flight trajectory is more a matter of speculation right now one alteration it made has been officially confirmed in years a flight. to fly. so we have to

is the second malaysian airlines flight that has gone down in the last several months. 370ysian airlines flight went down 131 days ago, and it is still a mystery. >> in large part because they cannot find the wreckage. here, they know where the wreckage is. they were able to recover the key data, recorders, typepad recorders, the voices of the pilots, the blackbox. that will tell a lot about what happened in the final minutes. >> the ukrainian president also expressing condolences to the families on that plane, saying he cannot exclude at this time, martha raddatz, that this plane was shot down. one of the key goals of u.s. officials will be to make sure the authorities do not go out of control, although this is something the united states has been very worried about in the last several days with the president announcing new sanctions yesterday. >> exactly. the new sanctions worried about any sort of retribution. hard toid, it would be imagine that anyone would take a step like this intentionally, but they will look to see if it was accidental. they will have to try to calm everyone down

year with the malaysian airliner. >> these airliners don't just arbitrarily just fall out of the sky generally speaking. it would have had to be a catastrophic event on board. but officials are also intrigued by the early release from malaysian -- the airline itself that the cabin crew apparently was reporting an event on board. was that event, you know, did they get struck by a missile and that was the event? some sort of terrorist activity on board? at this point it's all speculation. people here are cautioning that it's too -- way too early to come to any conclusions at this point. >> let's talk a lit about the satellite coverage because one of the most important facts that went into the decisions that were taken yesterday by treasury, the white house, the nsc on sanctions was proof that they claimed that in fact russia was escalating its arms delivery and the resupplying of eastern ukraine rather than de-escalating. not only was there no cease-fire that in fact, there had been more russian artillery going across the border. they've got plenty of surveillance there. jim miklaszews

with flight 370 still not found and now malaysian airlines flight 17 wreckage on the ground can the companyack passenger strategies over four months? other airlines have faced adversity to differing results. us airways had numerous crashes. two ust our four airplanes hijacked in the attacks were american airlines. one deadly crash killed scores of passengers and later in the year another flight had to make an emergency landing due to a jammed landing gear at the nose of the plane and one airline forever scarred by a crash was valuejet. in 1997 shortly after takeoff a fire broke out on flight 92 and within minutes the plane plummeted into the everglades and killing everybody on board. the airline never recovered. unbelievable. steve rattner, your thoughts. >> look. a couple of comments. you had examples where airlines twa, pan am being the most notable went out of bounds when this happened. twa the lockerbie crash and they were privately owned airlines. this is on owned 70% by the government so so much money the airline wants to keep this airline going. i guess the traffic will be down more
