Dutch Safety Board Releases Final Report On MH17 by NairaMinted: 8:31pm On Oct 13, 2015
The Dutch Safety Board has released its final report on what was responsible for the downing of flight MH17. Their findings conclude that a Buk missile particularly one of the 9M38-series missile with a 9N314M warhead - still in use only by the Ukrainian Army; as Russia has decommissioned its remaining ones in 2011 - did it.

The Saker's and Colonel Cassad;s hypotheses, as you can see from earlier posts within this thread, are that MH17 was brought down by a combined salvo of a R-60 surface to surface missile and 30mm cannon fire from a SU-25 or similar aircraft.

Almaz-Antey, the manufacturer of the Buk missile system believes that a Buk 9M38-series missile brought down MH17. This is in concurrence with the findings of the Dutch Safety Board. The only variance between the reports of Almaz-Antey and that of the DSB is the additional information provided by Almaz-Antey which puts the area of launch of this missile in Zaroschenskoye, an area controlled by the Ukrainian junta.

It is worthy to note that Almaz-Antey today also held a press conference a few hours before the DSB held it's, in which Almaz-Antey's findings were presented; including a video of a full scale experiment of a Buk missile downing a commercial plane (in this case a decommissioned Il-86 was used in place of a Boeing 777) was presented.

So in conclusion:

1. A Buk missile was used. It's a Russian made missile just as an AK is Russian made, so do not be fooled by the mainstream media that plasters "Russian Missile Responsible!!" in their headlines designed to sway public opinion into believing that Russia or the separatist were responsible for firing the missile. No blame has been apportioned and the culprit has not been identified. As a matter of fact, the only blame that has been apportioned is to the Ukranian authorities who re-directed a commercial airline over a war zone.

2. The contents of the Data Flight Recorder and the Cockpit Voice Recorder remains unknown. These like the confiscated tape recordings between the Air Traffic Control and MH17 remain classified!

3. The U.S. hasn't provided ANY evidence whatsoever to support their immediate and frenzied accusation of Russia and the separatists as being responsible for shooting down MH17. What we have had so far are citations of "social media", "common sense" "unverified", "unconfirmed" evidence. Here again is the video of then U.S. State Department Spokesperson, Marie Harf (Whom I believe was fired from the post for such a horrible job grin) fumbling and mumbling, unable to butress the accusations the U.S. had leveled against Russia.

Mr John Kerry's remarks made some days after the shooting down of MH17 in which he categorically stated that the U.S. had satellite images and the heat signature of the BUK missile that was used by the separatist, non-surprisingly hasn't been backed up with any evidence. These elusive satellite images haven't materialized grin

4. One of the social media evidence that Ms Marie Harf referenced to were the alleged videos of BUK missile batteries being scurried back to Russia. These images if you recollect were plastered all over Western news media as evidence that Russia used a BUK battery to shoot down MH17 - not minding that a workable BUK missile battery actually requires three separate units to function as a whole (The radar acquisition unit, the command center and the missile batteries itself) These images however have all been debunked and proven to be missile batteries that actually belong to the Ukrainian Army.

5. Another social media evidence that Uncle Sam then desperately hinged its case on was the "intercepted" audio recording of separatists supposedly rejoicing over the shooting down of the plane. As shown in earlier posts in this thread, this has also been discredited and outed as a fake as the audio recording wasn't one composite frame and what's more, the date stamp on it shows that it was recorded a day before MH17 was shot down! Talk about bumbling SBU operatives and their CIA counterparts! grin grin



[size=18pt]Russian missile killed pilots and cut jet in half but passengers could have been conscious for up to a minute as plane plunged, reveals official report into MH17 downed over Ukraine [/size]
Dutch investigators release final report into disaster that killed 298 people as jet flew over Ukraine in July last year
Officials unveiled a ghostly reconstruction of front section of the jet using fragments recovered from the crash site
Also released video demonstrating how missile exploded inches from the cockpit, breaking off the front of the plane
Report says 'it can't be ruled out some occupants remained conscious' during the 60 to 90 seconds before crash
Investigators say the Boeing 777 was hit by a Russian-made BUK missile fired from rebel-held territory in Ukraine
Russian minister says report was 'an obvious attempt to draw a biased conclusion and carry out political orders'


Passengers on flight MH17 may have been conscious for up to a minute as the jet plunged to Earth after being hit by a missile, an official report found.
Dutch investigators said the Russian-made BUK rocket exploded just inches from the cockpit, killing the pilots and breaking off the front of the plane.
The missile's impact was instantly fatal only to the three crew members in the flight deck of Malaysia Airlines jet, the Dutch Safety Board report said.
Other crew and the passengers would have died due to decompression, reduced oxygen levels, extreme cold, powerful airflow and flying objects.
But painting a horrifying scenario, the report said 'it cannot be ruled out that some occupants remained conscious' during the 60 to 90 seconds before the plane crashed.

Doomed: Dutch air crash investigators released a video demonstrating how a Russian-made BUK missile detonated just inches from the MH17 cockpit, killing the pilots and breaking off the front of the plane


Destroyed: The warhead exploded to the left of the cockpit, causing it to break off as it was showered with fragments of metal and the Boeing 777 broke up in mid-air, the Dutch Safety Board found


Blasted: The official Dutch Safety Board report says a missile exploded less than 3ft outside the cockpit


The 15-month Dutch-led inquiry said the plane was hit by a Russian-made BUK surface-to-air missile fired from rebel-held territory in Ukraine

This appeared to contradict earlier information given to relatives who were told at a briefing in The Hague that their loved ones would have died very soon after the missile exploded.
The 15-month Dutch-led inquiry said the plane was hit by a Russian-made BUK surface-to-air missile fired from rebel-held territory over eastern Ukraine.
A total of 298 people, including 10 Britons, were killed when the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 was downed over territory where pro-Moscow separatists operated on July 17 last year.
The report by the Dutch Safety Board gives a horrifying glimpse into what the victims faced before they all died.
It says the missile fragments struck the plane at speeds of 2,800-5,600mph, 'tearing off the cockpit' and sending a 'pressure wave' throughout the plane a few milliseconds later.

The missile explosion also caused a 'deafening sound wave' and the airplane's sudden deceleration, then speeding up as it fell to Earth, may have 'caused dizziness, nausea and loss of consciousness.'
The board said it is likely people 'were barely able to comprehend the situation in which they found themselves... no indications were found that point to any conscious actions' such as text messages sent on mobile phones.
Some MH-17 victims were found without clothes on the ground. The report said the 'powerful airflow' ripped them from their bodies.
One passenger was found wearing an oxygen mask, but it was 'unclear how the mask got there,' the board said.
After the report's release, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has called on Russia to fully co-operate with the criminal investigation into the crash.
Commenting for the first time on the Dutch Safety Board's final report, Mr Rutte said that a key priority 'is now tracking down and prosecuting the perpetrators'.
He said the DSB report 'is a new element and undoubtedly an important building block' in the international criminal investigation that is being led by Dutch prosecutors and detectives.
Dutch prosecutors leading the criminal investigation later said they had identified 'persons of interest', but did not identify them.
