    On 17 November 2022, following a trial in absentia in the Netherlands, two Russians and a Ukrainian separatist were found guilty of murdering all 298 people on board flight MH17. The Dutch court also ruled that Russia was in control of the separatist forces fighting in eastern Ukraine at the time.

    MH17 was Malaysia Airlines’ second aircraft loss during 2014, after the disappearance of Flight 370 four months prior on 8 March.

    RIP. Over 500 lives lost in 4 months.

        Why the “umm” and one upping? OP made no claims that this was the worst ever or anything. They probably posted this as it’s relevant to the current situation where it appears Russia shot down another passenger aircraft.

        I don’t think Russian anti aircraft missiles were involved in Tenerife so don’t see the point you’re trying to make here.
