Key Takeaways:

Back in July 17, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 went down over Ukraine killing all 298 people on board the Boeing 777. On Tuesday the Dutch Safety Board released their final conclusions in the investigations citing that the crash was caused by “detonation of a 9N314M-type warhead launched from the eastern part of Ukraine using a Buk missile system.”

The report explains that MH17 progressed normally at 33,000 feet flying over the eastern part of Ukraine until 13:20 UTC when the missile detonated on the left and above the cockpit. The impact caused the cockpit and business class section to separate, and the airplane disintegrated during its descent leaving no survivors.
