Be careful with the blame on this one, if you are talking Flight KAL007. Look toward Alec Baldwin and his miscreant cellphone-crutch cretins as culprits.
Remember, the people who die because they operated their cellphones when prohibited are not alive to give you a handy PSA about the dangers of not shutting off your cellphone.

The Dutch journalist talks about his decision to remove suspect shrapnel from the MH17 wreckage and smuggle it out of the country for professional analysis:

The fragments in question have now been handed over the official investigation.
It's not personal. It's just war.

One of the interesting things that an internet buddy of mine brought up is that a BUK missile leaves a significant contrail on launch.
Just to find out for myself, I went to Youtube and looked at BUK M1 missile launches for myself (hmmm... I wonder what the NSA thinks about THAT!) and indeed ...
Comparing that to the wisps of smoke that were tweeted which presumed to show a BUK missile launch, I have to say .... nah.... Doesn't look like it to me. Unless there's some explanation as to why nobody saw a robust contrail, it doesn't make sense that would be the weapon.

Kerry Balks at Supplying MH-17 Data [Again - SIGNYM]
Quote:More at
Secretary of State John Kerry has rebuffed a request from the father of the only American citizen killed aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 for Kerry to disclose the radar and other data that he cited in 2014 in claiming to know the precise location of the missile launch that allegedly downed the airliner over eastern Ukraine killing 298 people.
In a letter to Kerry dated Jan. 5, 2016, Thomas Schansman, the father of American-Dutch citizen Quinn Schansman, asked Kerry to turn over that data to aid the investigation seeking to identify who was responsible for shooting down the plane on July 17, 2014. In a letter dated March 7, 2016, but just delivered to Thomas Schansman on Thursday, Kerry expressed his condolences and repeated his claim to know where the missile launch originated, but did not provide new details.

Kerry wrote, “The assessment I provided to the media three days following the shoot down remains unchanged, and is corroborated by the findings of the Dutch Safety Board [DSB]. Flight 17 was shot down by a BUK surface-to-air missile fired from separatist-controlled territory in eastern Ukraine.”
But Kerry’s assertion is not entirely correct. Despite Kerry’s claim on July 20, 2014 – three days after the shoot-down – to know the location of the missile launch, the Dutch Safety Board reported last October that it could only place the likely launch site within a 320-square-kilometer area that included territory under both government and rebel control. (The safety board did not seek to identify which side fired the fateful missile.)
Why the U.S. government has dragged its heels about supplying the evidence that Kerry claimed to possess just days after the tragedy has become a secondary mystery to the allegations and counter-allegations about whodunit. That Kerry would not even elaborate on that information in response to the father of the lone American victim is even more striking.
In an email to me with Kerry’s letter attached, Thomas Schansman wrote, “the message is clear: no answer on my request to hand over satellite and/or radar data to DSB or public.”
