Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17) was a scheduled international passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur that crashed on 17 July 2014 after being shot down, killing all 283 passengers and 15 crew on board.〔 The Boeing 777-200ER airliner lost contact about from the Ukraine–Russia border and crashed near Torez in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, from the border. The crash occurred during the battle in Shakhtarsk Raion, part of the ongoing war in Donbass, in an area controlled by the Donbass People's Militia. According to American and German intelligence sources, the plane was mistakenly shot down by pro-Russian insurgents using a Buk surface-to-air missile (SA-11) fired from the territory which they controlled.〔 Their judgement was based on sensors that traced the path of the missile, analysis of fragment patterns in the wreckage, voice print analysis of conversations in which separatist militants claimed credit for the strike, as well as photos and other data from social media sites.〔 On 13 October 2015, the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) released a final report on their investigation into the incident, concluding that the airliner was downed by a Buk surface-to-air 9M38-series missile with 9N314M warhead launched from Eastern Ukraine. The Russian government blamed the Ukrainian government for the incident,〔Greg Miller (22 July 2014), (U.S. discloses intelligence on downing of Malaysian jet ) ''The Washington Post''〕 saying that Ukraine is responsible for the crash because it happened in Ukrainian airspace.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ukraine crisis: Poroshenko offers rebels more autonomy )〕 Immediately after the crash, a post appeared on the VKontakte social media profile attributed to Russian Colonel Igor Girkin, leader of the Donbass separatists, claiming responsibility for shooting down an AN-26, but after it became clear that a civilian aircraft had been shot down, the separatists denied any involvement, and the post was taken down. An independent analysis by Bellingcat of open-source evidence indicated that Russian-backed separatists were in control of a Buk missile launcher on 17 July and transported it from Donetsk to Snizhne, while three eyewitnesses told the BBC that such a missile launcher was operated by a crew that seemed to be Russian in the area on that date. The Ukrainian government stated that the missile was launched by "Russian professionals and coordinated from Russia". The German Federal Intelligence Service reportedly concluded that the plane was shot down by pro-Russian separatists using a captured Ukrainian Buk system. In July 2015, Malaysia proposed a United Nations resolution to set up an international tribunal to prosecute those suspected of being behind the downing of the plane. While the proposal gained a majority on the UN Security Council (11 countries voting for it, 3 abstaining), it was vetoed by Russia.〔〔 The crash of Flight 17 was the fifth Boeing 777 hull loss.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aviation Safety Network > ASN Aviation Safety Database > Type index > ASN Aviation Safety Database results )〕 The crash was Malaysia Airlines' worst incident and its second of the year, after the disappearance of Flight 370 four months earlier. ==Aircraft== Flight 17 was operated with a Boeing 777-2H6ER, serial number 28411, registration 9M-MRD.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Accident description )〕 The 84th Boeing 777 produced, it first flew on 17 July 1997, exactly 17 years before the incident, and was delivered new to Malaysia Airlines on 29 July 1997.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Malaysia Airlines 9M-MRD (Boeing 777 – MSN 28411) | Airfleets aviation )〕 Powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 892 engines and carrying 280 seats (33 business and 247 economy), the aircraft had recorded more than 76,300 hours in 11,430 cycles before the crash.〔 The aircraft was in an airworthy condition at departure.〔 The Boeing 777, which entered commercial service on 7 June 1995, has one of the best safety records in commercial aircraft. In June 2014 there were about 1,212 aircraft in service, with 340 more on order. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malaysia Airlines Flight 17」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
