Recently discovered remains of some of those on board
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 were flown back to the Netherlands on Saturday,
nearly four months after the passenger jet plunged out of the sky over eastern
Ukraine.
According to Associated Press, the remains, in five
coffins, arrived on board a military transport plane and were carried to
waiting hearses in a solemn ceremony at a military air base in the southern
city of Eindhoven.
They were being taken to barracks in Hilversum where a team
of experts is working to identify all 298 passengers and crew who were on board
the flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it was downed on July 17. Most
of the victims were Dutch.
So far, 289 of the victims have been positively identified.
May their sould continue to rest in peace
