On 17 July a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur with 298 people on board exploded while flying at 10,000m over Eastern Ukraine and crashed near the Russian border.
American intelligence have confirmed that the plane was shot down by a surface-to-air missile, while the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian rebels blamed each other for the disaster. Among the passengers were 154 Dutch citizens, which makes it “the biggest air plane crash in the history of the Netherlands”, writes De Telegraaf.
