In reply to the discussion: MH17 crash: Dutch experts say numerous objects hit plane [View all]geek tragedy
(68,868 posts)36. Again I ask, did you read the story?
The cockpit voice recorder, the flight data recorder and data from air traffic control all suggest that flight MH17 proceeded as normal until 13:20:03 (UTC), after which it ended abruptly. A full listening of the communications among the crew members in the cockpit recorded on the cockpit voice recorder revealed no signs of any technical faults or an emergency situation. Neither were any warning tones heard in the cockpit that might have pointed to technical problems. The flight data recorder registered no aircraft system warnings, and aircraft engine parameters were consistent with normal operation during the flight.

It is ridiculous - and the reason is that you are being very simplistic and are holding onto RT lies
