Flight MH17 and the battle for the truth
A nation’s search for justice
Every day, thousands of planes take off and land from scores of different countries. We all get on board feeling confident that we’ll reach their destinations, no matter what might be happening on the ground below. But on July 17th 2014, when passenger plane MH17 was shot down over Eastern Ukraine, the ordered global system of international air travel was turned on its head. The Economist’s Noah Sneider, who was at the scene of the crash that day, reports on a decade-long search for justice.
