I watched the 4:12 video on you tube. Not much new. The transcript contained more dialog then was in the video.
What is clear is this. It was an international no fly zone. Malaysian airline was financially broke. They have since gone into liquidation. They cut through the combat zone to save 2000 pounds of fuel going to the Netherlands, in my opinion. Any aircraft in that zone WAS PRESUMED COMBAT !! They are as responsible for these deaths as who ever shot it down. Thousand of aircraft were going around but a few Malaysian airliners were sneaking through. This one failed. That is what happened.
