Reconstructing Flight MH17

Subscribe to The Moscow Times

A reconstruction of the front part of the MH17 airplane was assembled over the past months at Gilze-Rijen, a Dutch air base.

The reconstruction has been a useful tool for specialists working on the investigation to verify effects of the impact and subsequent blast.

The Dutch Safety board compiled the report, published Tuesday, over the course of 15 months, with the assistance of specialists from seven countries.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
