A special flight bound from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur has brought bodies of nine victims killed in Boeing crash in Ukraine, including bodies of two Dutch nationals, ITAR-TASS reported Tuesday.
A commemorative event was held in the Malaysian airport, followed by a minute of silence throughout the country.
This is already the third plane that brings home bodies of the victims of the Malaysian Airlines’ airliner crash. The country’s Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said earlier that out of 43 Malaysians that were on board of the crashed airliner, bodies of 32 victims have been identified, and almost all have been brought to homeland.
Malaysian authorities intend to insist on the return of experts to the Boeing 777 crash site in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, but admit it is difficult under the current conditions.
It may be called a miracle if it is possible to do it in connection with the continuing conflict, Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday.
