How the tragedy of MH17 unfolded
In the distance, a fireball explodes at the moment the Malaysian airliner spears into the ground. Villagers watch, stunned, as tonnes of fuel ignite. This was the moment MH17 claimed the lives of 298 people.
The Boeing 777 was charred and spread over 10 kilometres. Baggage, clothes, holiday guidebooks the remnants of so many lives.
