The call for greater coordination comes less than two months after the crash of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200, , which showed that the standard procedures used by aviation authorities and airline flight planners to protect passenger planes over the war zone in eastern Ukraine were catastrophically inadequate.
Flight 17, flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was shot down on July 17 over territory controlled by pro-Russian rebels, killing all 298 people on board. The United States and Ukraine have accused the separatists of downing the plane with a powerful surface-to-air missile provided by the Russian military. Moscow has publicly denied those claims, and some Russian officials have gone so far as to suggest that the plane was brought down by the Ukrainian military.
A preliminary report by the Dutch Safety Board, which has been charged with investigating the crash, is expected to be published as early as Friday.
#MH17, ça bouge méchamment ! le NYT prend une position presque neutre sur la responsabilité de l’affaire et ne fait que suggérer que la version russe du chasseur ukrainien serait un peu excessive. Et cite en tout premier l’écrasante responsabilité de l’OACI.
