The long-awaited Dutch report into the shooting down of flight MH17 suggests attempts were made to cover up the causes of the disaster, including a bungled autopsy on the body of the captain in which metal fragments from a Buk missile were deliberately removed.

The report by the Dutch safety board said that more than 120 objects, “mostly metal fragments”, were found in the body of the first officer, who had sustained “multiple fractures”.. When Dutch experts identified the captain’s body they found it had already “undergone an external and internal examination to remove foreign objects”.

Despite apparent attempts to remove shrapnel, “hundreds of metal objects were found”, the report said, as well as bone fractures and other injuries.

Among the fragments of missile shrapnel examined, two were in the shape of a bow tie, which the Dutch board found to be characteristic of a particular type of Buk missile warhead. However, the Russian manufacturer had earlier denied that any such fragments were found, and insisted an older Buk model was used, one that was no longer in service in the Russian armed forces.

Added evidence, as if any were needed, of Russia's ham handed attempts to conceal evidence that they destroyed MH17.

Who you gonna believe? Me....or your lyin' eyes?

” The Russians did it” just seems like a way too easy and obvious answer

The Russians did not send the aircraft on that flight path or direct it to descend

Just like flight 800 wasnt terrorists

They just happened to shoot it down. As in “why did your face get in the way of my fist?”
