Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17)[a] was a scheduled international passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur that crashed on 17 July 2014; it is believed to have been shot down with a surface-to-air missile.[6][7] The plane went down near Hrabove in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, about 40 km (25 mi) from the Ukraine–Russia border.[8] All 283 passengers and 15 crew members on board the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER aircraft were killed.[9][10][11] The crash occurred in the conflict zone of the ongoing Donbass insurgency.

Ukrainian Interior Ministry advisor Anton Gerashchenko said a Buk missile hit the aircraft at an altitude of 10,000 m (33,000 ft).[12] Ukrainian security services said they intercepted two phone conversations in which pro-Russian separatists discuss having just shot down a civilian plane with Russian intelligence officers. The separatists denied the recorded talks were related to the crash of MAS17.[13][14] Russia's Defence Ministry said that a Ukrainian Buk missile system radar was operational in the area where the Malaysian plane was downed.[15][16] Pro-Russian separatist rebels, however, accused the Ukrainian government of shooting down the plane. U.S. President Barack Obama, citing U.S. intelligence officials, said the plane was shot down by a missile and that there was "credible evidence" it was fired from a pro-Russian-rebel-held location.[17][18][2]

The crash was the airline's second major incident of the year. Flight 370 (9M-MRO) disappeared on 8 March en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. With 298 deaths, MH17 was the deadliest aviation incident since the 11 September 2001 attacks and the deadliest-ever Boeing 777 hull loss. It also surpassed the loss of Flight 370 as the deadliest incident in Malaysia Airlines' history.[19]

Aircraft

Flight 17 was operated with a Boeing 777-2H6ER,[b] serial number 28411, registration 9M-MRD. The 84th Boeing 777 produced, it first flew on 17 July 1997, exactly 17 years before the incident, and was delivered new to Malaysia Airlines on 29 July 1997.[20] Powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 892 engines and configured to carry 282 passengers in a 35-Business and 248-Economy configuration, the aircraft had logged more than 43,000 hours of flight time, including 6,950 cycles, before the crash.[20][21]

The Boeing 777 entered commercial service on 7 June 1995; as of June 2014, there were more than 1,200 in service.[22] Aviation experts say it has one of the best safety records in commercial aircraft. Only four other 777s have suffered a hull loss: British Airways Flight 38 in January 2008; a cockpit fire in a parked EgyptAir 777-200 at Cairo International Airport in 2011; and Asiana Airlines Flight 214 in July 2013, in which three people died. Another Malaysia Airlines 777, Flight 370 (registration 9M-MRO), went missing on 8 March 2014 and was still being searched for at the time of Flight 17's crash.

The aircraft departed from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol Gate G03 at 12:14 CEST (10:14 UTC).[42] It was due to arrive at Kuala Lumpur International Airport 11 hours and 45 minutes later at 06:00, 18 July MYT (22:00, 17 July UTC).

According to Malaysia Airlines, MH17 filed a flight plan requesting to fly at 35,000 feet throughout Ukrainian airspace, but "upon entering Ukrainian airspace, MH17 was instructed by Ukrainian air traffic control to fly at 33,000 feet".[43]

Malaysia Airlines released a statement saying "it received notification from Ukrainian ATC that it had lost contact with flight MH17 at 1415 (GMT)[h] at 30 km (19 mi) from [the] TAMAK waypoint (47°51′24″N 39°13′6″E / 47.85667°N 39.21833°E / 47.85667; 39.21833 [44]), approximately 50 km (31 mi) from the Russia–Ukraine border."[45]

The plane crashed near the village of Hrabove just north of Torez, a city in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast, as it was approaching the Russian border.[8] The moment at which a fireball rose due to the impact was captured on a video clip.[46]

Flightradar24 reported that a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-200ER (Flight SQ351) and an Air India Boeing 787-8 (Flight AI113) were each about 25 km (16 mi) away from the Malaysian airliner when it disappeared.[47]

Photographs from the site of the crash show scattered pieces of broken fuselage and engine parts, as well as bodies and passports.[48][49] Some of the wreckage fell close to houses in Hrabove.[50]

In the evening on 17 July, the lifenews.ru portal released the following statement "On July 17 near the village of Rassypnoye over the Torez city in Donetsk region an An-26 transport plane of Ukrainian Air Force was taken down, said the militia. According to them, the plane crashed somewhere near the "Progress" mine, away from residential areas. According to one of the militias, at approximately 17:30 local time an An-26 flew over the city. It was hit by a rocket, there was an explosion and the plane went to the ground, leaving a black smoke. Debris fell from the sky".[51] ITAR-TASS and RIA Novosti had also reported that an An-26 had been shot down by the militia near Torez at around 16:00 local time.[52][53]

Closure of airspace

As a result of the incident, Ukraine closed all routes in the Eastern Ukraine airspace, at all altitudes.[54] The airspace above Donetsk Oblast had been previously closed by Ukraine on 1 July 2014 below 26,000 feet (7,900 m), and on 14 July 2014 below 32,000 feet (9,800 m).[55] Eurocontrol issued a statement in which it explained that at the time of the crash the MH17 was at Flight Level 330 (33,000 feet or 10,058.4 metres), so the aircraft was above restricted airspace.[54] A few airlines, such as Qantas, Korean Air Lines and British Airways, had already been avoiding the area for a number of months because of security concerns.[55][56]

Investigation

On the day of the crash, a meeting was convened in the Trilateral Contact Group (consisting of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the Ukrainian national government, and Russia). After they had held a video conference with representatives of the Novorossiya rebels (who control the area where the plane crashed), the rebels promised to "provide safe access and security guarantees" to "the national investigation commission" by cooperating with Ukrainian authorities and OSCE monitors.[57] However, on 18 July the militants denied the OSCE team free access to the crash site. After spending only 75 minutes at the site, the team returned to Donetsk.[58] According to the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, "all evidence [is] being seized" by the militants who have surrounded the crash site, and State Emergency Service crews "work literally at gunpoint".[59]

Off-duty coal miners, along with local police and rescue crews, were combing through debris and searching for survivors.[60]

A senior U.S. administration official said to ABC News that FBI and NTSB officials are poised to head to Ukraine in an "advisory role" in the investigation.[61]

Events before the crash

Buk missile launcher
A Ukrainian An-26, similar to that shot down on 14 July 2014
  • On 29 June, NTV reported that separatists had access to a Buk after taking control of a Ukrainian air defence base A-1402.[62] On the same day, the Donetsk People's Republic claimed possession of such a system in a since-deleted tweet.[63]
  • On 10 July, shorter-range vehicle-mounted 9K35 Strela-10 missiles were filmed by Russian Lifenews team near Donetsk.[64] On the other hand, high ranking Ukrainian officials have stated that rebels do not possess Buk systems.[65] Ukraine's foreign minister, Pavlo Klimkin, additionally stated that the Ukraine did not have sophisticated surface-to-air missile systems in the area.[66]
  • On 13 July Sergey Kurginyan declared that Buk launchers taken over from Ukrainian army were going to be fixed soon by specialists from Russia.[67]
  • On 14 July, an unconfirmed phone call took place between Oleh Bugrov Valeriovyc (army chief of staff of self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic, deputy minister of defense of “LNR”) and an officer of Main Intelligence Directorate of the Russian Federation where the officer said "Now we have (radar-guided surface-to-air) BUK (missile system), will shall bring them (planes) down."[68]
  • On 14 July, a Ukrainian military An-26 transport aircraft was shot down (confirmed to be shot using "Buk").[69]
  • On 16 July, a Ukrainian military Sukhoi Su-25 close air support aircraft was shot down and Ukrainian government officials accused the Russian military of downing the aircraft with an air-to-air missile fired by a MiG-29 jet in Russia, while a spokesman for Russia's Defence Ministry rejected those accusations as absurd.[70][71][68]
  • On 17 July, an unnamed Associated Press journalist had seen a Buk launcher in Snizhne, a town in the Donetsk Oblast, roughly 10 miles southeast of the crash site. The reporter also saw seven rebel tanks at a filling station near the town.[72]
  • On 17 July, an unconfirmed phone call between Sergei Nikolaevich Petrovskiy (officer of Main Intelligence Directorate of Russian Federation, Deputy Chief of Ihor Girkin on Intelligence) and a militant took place where they discussed where to unload and place the BUK missile system.[68]

Cause

Multiple sources cited a post on the VKontakte social networking service that was attributed to Igor Girkin, commander of the pro-Russian Donbass People's Militia, in which he acknowledged shooting down an aircraft at approximately the same time that the flight was reported to have crashed in eastern Ukraine in the same area near the Russian border.[73][74][75][76] The post specifically referenced how warnings were issued for planes not to fly in their airspace and the downing of an Antonov An-26 which the Ukraine Crisis Media Center suggested was a case of misidentification with MH17.[74][76] The post was deleted later in the day and the account behind it said that Igor Girkin had no official account on that social network.[77][78][51][79]

Ukrainian interior ministry official Anton Gerashchenko stated that the airliner was "shot down with a surface-to-air missile by terrorists", referring to militants seeking to unite eastern Ukraine with Russia.[12] Later the Ukrainian President stated that Ukrainian authorities "don't exclude" the possibility that the plane was shot down.[80] This was denied by the rebels, stating that they have no weapons capable of shooting down planes at the altitude at which the Malaysian airliner was flying.[81]

A defence expert later reported that to shoot down an aircraft at this altitude would require a long-range surface-to-air missile, possibly assisted by radar, or an air-to-air missile from another aircraft.[82] After the MH17 crash, the DNR said on numerous occasions that they "do not have access to weapons able to reach airplane at 10 km".[83] Just before the MH17 crash, DNR reported having access to a Buk missile system that can fire missiles up to 22,000 metres (72,000 ft), and uses radar guidance for targeting. On 18 July, a Ukrainian newspaper said that a column of three tanks, two BTR vehicles and a Buk transported on a lorry was photographed near Dmitrovka village.[84]

An article published by Military.com lists four Russian surface-to-air missile systems that could have shot down the Malaysian jet.[85]

Jane's Defense Weekly and Defense24.pl stated in their analyses that a Buk missile launcher vehicle without well trained crew or without its support vehicles (command vehicle and acquisition radar vehicle) would have been unable to tell a civilian Boeing 777 from a military AN-26 aircraft, but would still would be able to hit it.[86][87] However, Kevin Ryan, director of the Defense and Intelligence Project at Harvard University said that without extensive training crews would be unable to hit anything at all and concludes that if the plane really was shot down, a professional military force was responsible.[88] A CNN military expert speculated that the type of weaponry that could have taken down the airline would have been available to Russians on the other side of the Ukrainian border.[88]

According to The Wall Street Journal, U.S. agencies are divided over whether the plane was downed by the Russian military or by pro-Russian separatists, who may lack the expertise required. They still they insist that, "All roads lead to the Russians to some degree".[89] On 18 July 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama said in a White House briefing that the missile was fired from a territory controlled by Russian-supported separatists.[90][91]

A source from Russia's Agency Rosaviatsia said the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine had closed its airspace over eastern Ukraine because of what it called "anti-terrorist operation[s]."[92] Shortly after the crash the International Air Transport Association wrote in a statement: "Based on the information currently available it is believed that the airspace that the aircraft was traversing was not subject to restrictions."[93]

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) published what they said were wiretaps of separatist commanders reporting that a civilian airliner had been shot down.[94][95][96] According to the recording, Flight 17 was shot down by a group of pro-Russian separatists manning a checkpoint near the village of Chornukhine, Luhansk Oblast, some 80 km (50 mi) north-west of Donetsk.[97]

On 18 July, Russian Defence Ministry declared that at the time of the crash "anti-aircraft units of Russian Federation did not operate in that area". Russia said that Ukrainian Buk-M1 units were located north-west from Donetsk and that Russian units detected their radar activity at the time of the incident.[98][99] The Ministry also stated that the Ukrainian Buk battery was deployed at a site from which it could have fired a missile at the airliner.[15]

DPR representatives made a number of statements, some reporting seeing that a military An-26 transport aircraft was hit,[51] others stating they had no missiles that could reach 10 km altitude and hit an airliner,[100] while LPR representatives said that they had witnessed a Ukrainian aircraft, identified as a Su-25, shoot down the Boeing.[101] Gazeta.ru pointed out that both sides of the conflict, Ukraine and DPR, have Buk missiles capable of reaching 10 km altitude, but that the service ceiling at 5 km of Su-25 aircraft make it impossible for it to shoot down a high altitude airliner.[102]

Reactions

Countries involved

  •  Malaysia – Malaysian Deputy Foreign Minister Hamzah Zainuddin said that the foreign ministry would be working closely with the Russian and Ukrainian governments with regard to the incident.[103] Prime Minister Najib Razak later said on his statement that "At this stage, however, Malaysia is unable to verify the cause of this tragedy. But we must, and we will, find out precisely what happened to this flight. No stone will be left unturned". He also added "If it transpires that the plane was indeed shot down, we insist that the perpetrators must swiftly be brought to justice".[104] The Malaysian government has declared to fly the country national flag at half-mast from 18 July until 21 July.[105]
Flowers and vigil candles placed on the doorsteps of Embassy of Netherlands to Estonia
Russian President Vladimir Putin and government officials observing a moment of silence in memory of the victims.
  •  Russia – Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his deepest condolences and his most sincere words of compassion and support to the families and friends of the victims, but said responsibility for the crash rests with "the country in whose airspace the plane was in when it crashed", and that "the disaster wouldn't happen if the military action in south-east of Ukraine was not reenabled".[113][114][115]
  •  Ukraine – Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko vowed support for a Dutch probe into the crash, which he called an act of terrorism. He offered condolences for the air disaster in a telephone conversation with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.[116] Ukrainian citizens spontaneously brought flowers to the Dutch and Malaysian embassies in support.[117][118]
  • Pro-Russian rebel commander Igor Girkin was quoted as stating that "a significant number of the bodies weren't fresh", although he stated that he couldn't confirm the information. He followed up by saying "Ukrainian authorities are capable of any baseness."; Girkin also said that blood serum and medications were found in the plane's remnants in large quantities.[119]

International

  •  Australia – Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said that if the incident was proven to be a shoot-down, it would be a crime and the perpetrators would be brought to justice. The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs said the incident was a huge tragedy and that any Australians who were concerned about family members' wellbeing should try to contact them directly. It also said it was awaiting confirmation on the number of Australian passengers on board.[120]
  •  Belgium – Belgian Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo said "On behalf of the Belgian government, he expressed his sincere condolences to the families and friends of the many victims of the flight of Malaysia Airlines. His thoughts are paying particular to the five Belgian victims, their families. He also spoke of his deep sympathy for the Dutch people and the Dutch authorities, as stood on his statement issued in Friday. Di Rupo wants "full clarity comes over the exact circumstances of this tragedy and those who are responsible should be quickly identified and brought to justice".[121]
  •  Canada – Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said that "Canada stands ready to provide whatever support it can to assist authorities in determining the cause of the crash."[122]
  •  Hungary – The Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it is important that an independent international body investigate the shooting and name those responsible for "this cowardly and inhumane act".[127] Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán described the crash as "unusual, rare and shocking", and added that "a significant influx of refugees from eastern areas of Ukraine has been registered in Transcarpathia. These movements affect the Hungarian community living there as well as Hungary itself".[128]
  •  India – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his Twitter feedback, "Our thoughts & prayers are with the families of those who lost their lives on board Flight MH17. We stand with them in this hour of grief."[129]

  •  United States – U.S. President Barack Obama said, "The U.S. will offer any assistance we can to determine what happened and why. As a country our thoughts and prayers are with all the families of the passengers, wherever they call home."[115] In a press statement, White House spokesman Josh Earnest called for an immediate ceasefire.[137] Vice President Joe Biden said the plane appeared to have been deliberately "blown out of the sky", and vowed U.S. assistance for the investigation into the crash.[114] U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power stated that the flight "was likely downed by a surface-to-air missile, an SA-11, operated from a separatist-held location in eastern Ukraine," that the U.S. could not "rule out technical assistance by Russian personnel" in operating the system, and that "Russia must end this war.”[2]
  •  United Nations – The U.N. Security Council was scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on the Ukraine crisis. A British-drafted statement calling for "a full, thorough and independent international investigation" into what caused the crash and stressing the need for "all parties to grant immediate access by investigators to the crash site to determine the cause of the incident" will be discussed.[138]

Airlines

Airline Aeroflot, Transaero, Air France, Turkish Airlines, Virgin Airlines, Lufthansa and S7 announced their intention to make flights bypass Ukraine airspace.[139] Eurocontrol closed airspace in eastern Ukraine for civil aviation.[140]
