Science of MH17 reconstruction

[Nom de ploom]

I'm not one for getting maudlin and i'm not seeking to glorify what happened in this unspeakable tragedy, but I can't help but be impressed and a little overwhelmed by the reconstruction and effort that has gone into piecing together not only large parts of the plane but also the animations - however shocking are imho a testimony to science and perseverance.

I guess it would be far to idealistic to hope that this might actually do "something" to limit the use of such weapons. I'm pretty certain however that there is about as much chance of that as I have of playing the harpsichord.

joking apart i can't help but be entirely impressed by the investigation and reconstructions however sombre the circumstances.

It seems to me though that a bunch of clever people with a desire to seek the truth insofar as certain conjectures allow have done a fantastic piece of work.

Well it's not quite as as clever as a Russian arms dealer with strong ties to the government detonating a missile on a step ladder next to a mock up plane, in an effort to debunk many of the findings.

I don't know about you comrades, but I no longer feel Russia was involved in anyway way.

Soooo who then? Russian rebels or Ukrainian rebels?

if not the "official" armies of either country, then what options are there?
