When did this crash happen? About 10 years ago?

~~~HEAVY sarcasm~~~

So much has happened this summer that it’s hard to remember that dreadful crash in the Ukraine.

Still waiting to see the recording media from Kiev ATC with conversation between the pilots and ATC controllers surfacing. Recording was confiscated by Kiev authorities several minutes after the crash and hidden from crash investigation ever since.

Not likely it will ever happen, unless someone decide to cash on $30M offer.

An oxygen mask around a passenger's neck is consistent with the narrative to date.

The best description is here. SAMs are designed to exploded 20+ yards from an aircraft and spray shrapnel. The airbags would have dropped within five seconds and the passengers would have remained conscious for up to thirty seconds.

Oops, better luck next time, comrade. This is an American conservative website.

Pro-Russian separatists handed over the plane's "black box" flight recorders to Malaysian investigators, who in turn passed them on to Dutch authorities.

The head of the Malaysian delegation said the recorders were "in good condition".

The devices were sent to Farnborough in the UK for analysis.

The recorders - actually coloured a deep orange to aid discovery - store key technical information about the flight as well as conversations in the cockpit.

According to the Dutch Safety Board, the flight data recorder showed that "all engine parameters were normal for cruise flight" until the recording "stopped abruptly at 13.20:03 hrs".

No spoken warnings were found on the cockpit voice recorder.

The Dutch investigators said there was no evidence that the flight recorders had been tampered with.

You mean the Spanish controller who Spain says doesn’t exist, and whose Facebook page disappeared? Call George Noory.

Rather interesting that he hasn’t come forward. Do you think he’s under arrest somewhere?

i detect sarcasm in your comment, i see a lot of your post on all and any Russian/Ukrainian threads but i can’t remember if you are a Putin sympathizer or Putin hater, so that being said im not sure how to answer your question. But irregardless of who you think was behind the downing of the plane, I just DO NOT know what to believe any more!

Mike, you have ended up believing one of many Russian conspiracy theories they created and spread to the world. This one is “Carlos the non-existant air traffic controller”. It is thoroughly debunked of course.

Examiner magazine made an article about 10 of these lies here - http://www.examiner.com/list/russia-s-top-10-lies-about-downed-malaysia-airliner - “Carlos” one is number 8.

Don't pull the straw man here, because as you say, this is Conservative site, not DU.

Recordings made IN KIEV Air Traffic Control are confiscated by Ukraine internal security service and never submitted to investigation.

What you wrote relates to FLIGHT RECORDER from MH17 and it is not the same thing.

That’s some mask that will stay on in the tumble and violence of the craft hitting the ground.

That's a question I had. Why didn't all the air masks deploy as soon a cabin pressure dropped.

They most likely all dropped at the same time, nothing in the article says they didn’t.
They are saying that this one passenger actually grabbed it and put it around his neck.

"Crash"? It was of course more than a crash. It was a shoot down.
