Press Releases: The Dutch Safety Board's Final Report on the Shootdown of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 10/13/2015 01:16 PM EDT The Dutch Safety Board's Final Report on the Shootdown of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 Press Statement Mark C. Toner Deputy Department Spokesperson Washington, DC October 13, 2015 We welcome the important findings of the Dutch Safety Board in its final report on the shootdown of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17. This report is the result of an independent, transparent, and rigorous 15-month investigation completed in accordance with Annex 13 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, and includes contributions from a wide array of experts from many countries, including the United States. This report validates what Secretary Kerry first said more than a year ago, MH17 was shot down by a BUK surface-to-air missile. Secretary Kerry also made clear that the United States detected a missile launch from separatist-controlled territory at the moment of the shootdown and drew attention to verified conversations among separatist leaders bragging about shooting down an aircraft in the immediate aftermath of this tragic event. We also take note of the finding of the Dutch Safety Board’s recommendations regarding the handling of airspace during armed conflicts, and we are studying them.
