This chapter provides a detailed account of the events surrounding the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 tragedy, including the background context of the conflict in Ukraine, the aftermath of the crash, and the battle over the truth surrounding the incident.
For almost a decade The Economist’s Noah Sneider has been following the story of MH17, the passenger plane shot down over Eastern Ukraine on July 17th 2014. All 298 people on board died. No group, or country, has ever admitted responsibility, leaving the victim's families searching for answers. In this episode Noah, who was at the scene of the crash that day, reports on the ten year battle for justice.
