The reconstruction of the cockpit of Boeing 777 of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 was presented prior to the presentation of the Dutch Safety Board's final report at the Gilze-Rijen air base in southern Netherlands Some of the plane parts including nose, cockpit and business class were rebuilt from fragments recovered from the crash site

A MAN has been arrested over the attempted assassination of a chief expert witness in the investigation of the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.
Oleksandr Ruvin, Ukraine’s most senior forensic scientist, was shot in the leg in November last year in an attack that police suspect was linked to his role in the crash probe.
In a statement, the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office said it would hold a briefing later on Monsday “regarding the arrest of the killer who attempted to murder the chief expert on the case of the downed Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777”.
A total of 298 passengers - including 28 Australian citizens and residents - and crew were killed when the plane was shot down over a Ukraine conflict zone on July 17, 2014.
A report by the Dutch Safety Board concluded that the Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur Boeing 777 was hit by a Russian-made Buk missile.
The warhead exploded just outside the cockpit on the left side, instantly killing the pilot and two other crew members as the front of the plane sheared off.
Even though the inquiry did not say who pulled the trigger, countries including Australia, Britain, France and the US accuse pro-Russian separatist rebels of the atrocity.
The board said it was for a criminal investigation to determine who was responsible for firing the missile.
That probe continues, with recent Dutch media reports suggesting evidence about the type of missile and where it was fired from will be presented “before the second half of the year”.
Geoffrey Robertson, a former United Nations war crimes judge, has previously said the International Criminal Court is unlikely to be able to prosecute those responsible but that murder or manslaughter prosecutions could be brought by the countries where the victims lived, including Holland and Ukraine.
