From the Malaysian transport minister - this time about the safety of the route:
Quote Some 400 commercial flights, including 150 international flights crossed eastern Ukraine daily before the crash. Officials from Eurocontrol also stated that in the two days before the incident, 75 different airlines flew the same route as MH17.
MH17s flight path was a busy major airway, like a highway in the sky. It followed a route which was set out by the international aviation authorities, approved by Eurocontrol, and used by hundreds of other aircraft. It flew at an altitude set, and deemed safe, by the local air traffic control. And it never strayed into restricted airspace.
The government of Ukraine officially states that the terrorists, with the help of Russia, are trying to destroy evidence of international crimes.
According to government data, the terrorists have taken 38 bodies to the morgue in (the eastern city of) Donetsk.
It accused specialists with “strong Russian accents” of threatening to carry out their own autopsies.
