“Those that gave the passenger plane clearance to fly through a war zone are ultimately responsible.”
“Funny” how nobody is investigating how this was allowed. Even flights over Crimea were banned due to uncertain ATC coverage. But flying over those SAMS was allowed for some reason...
And numerous aircraft were shot down in the weeks before so there are no excuses.
““Those that gave the passenger plane clearance to fly through a war zone are ultimately responsible.””
The American Federal Aviation Administration issued restrictions on flights over Crimea, to the south of MH17’s route, and advised airlines flying over some other parts of Ukraine to “exercise extreme caution”. This warning did not include the MH17 crash region.[62][6337 airlines continued overflying eastern Ukraine and about 900 flights crossed the Donetsk region in the seven days until the Boeing 777 was shot down, with Aeroflot, Singapore Airlines, Ukraine International Airlines, Lufthansa and Malaysia Airlines being the most active carriers.[64]
