- 5W - July 19, 2014 - n.9.20 - Flight MH-17 - boeing/Features/2010/05/bca_moving_line_05_24_10.html - As of July 2014, the 777 has been in 11 aviation accidents and incidents, including five hull-loss accidents, and three hijackings, for a total of 540 fatalities. Before 2013, the only fatality involving the twinjet occurred in a refueling fire at Denver International Airport on September 5, 2001, during which a ground worker sustained fatal burns. The aircraft, operated by British Airways, suffered fire damage to the lower wing panels and engine housing; it was later repaired and returned to service. The types first hull-loss occurred on January 17, 2008, when British Airways Flight 38, a 777-200ER with Rolls-Royce Trent 895 engines flying from Beijing to London, crash-landed approximately 1,000 feet (300 m) short of Heathrow Airports runway 27L and slid onto the runways threshold. There were 47 injuries and no fatalities. The impact damaged the landing gear, wing roots and engines. The aircraft was written off. Upon investigation, the accident was blamed on ice crystals from the fuel system clogging the fuel-oil heat exchanger (FOHE); Redesigned fuel oil heat exchangers were installed in British Airways 777s by October 2009. Two other minor momentary losses of thrust with Trent 895 engines occurred in February and November 2008, which the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) investigators also found were caused by ice in the fuel clogging the fuel-oil heat exchanger. As a result, the heat exchanger was redesigned. The types second hull-loss occurred on July 29, 2011, when an EgyptAir 777-200ER registered as SU-GBP suffered a cockpit fire while parked at the gate at Cairo International Airport. The plane was successfully evacuated with no injuries, and airport fire teams extinguished the fire. The aircraft sustained structural, heat and smoke damage. This aircraft was written off. Investigators focused on a possible electrical fault with a supply hose in the cockpit crew oxygen system. The types third hull loss and first involving fatalities occurred on July 6, 2013, when Asiana Airlines Flight 214, 777-200ER registered HL7742, crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport after touching down short of the runway. Surviving passengers and crew evacuated before fire destroyed the aircraft. The crash led to the death of three of the 307 people on board. These were the first fatalities in a crash involving a 777 since entering service in 1995. The NTSB accident investigation concluded in June 2014 that the pilots committed between 20 and 30 minor to significant errors in their final approach, and that the complex settings of automated controls were partially to blame. On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, 777-200ER registered 9M-MRO, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing was reported missing. Air Traffic Controls last reported coordinates for the aircraft were over the South China Sea at 6°55′15″N 103°34′43″E. After the search for the aircraft began, Malaysias prime minister announced on March 24, 2014 that after analysis of new satellite data it is now to be assumed beyond reasonable doubt that the plane was lost and there were no survivors. The cause remains unknown. On July 17, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, a 777-200ER registered 9M-MRD, bound for Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam was shot down over Donetsk province in eastern Ukraine; the incident has been linked to the ongoing Donbass insurgency in that region. Sources indicate that the airliner had 298 people (283 passengers and 15 crew) on board. aviationandaccessories.tpub/TM-1-1510-225-10/css/TM-1-1510-225-10_280.htm - Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370/MAS370) was a scheduled international passenger flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing that lost contact with air traffic control and disappeared on 8 March 2014 at 01:20 MYT (17:20 UTC, 7 March), less than an hour after takeoff.

I can tell you that the card number one and Boeing Malaysian intersect at the same point and at the same flight level, a source told the federal agency in a confidential manner.

Petro Oleksijovyč Porošenko and Oleksandr Turčynov (behind the scenes of the stage) to press to impose a logic of thought anti-Russian. So the truth is neglected to promote the economic interest. What is the evidence contained in the black box? The control of a territory during a conflict, determines the boundaries of the domain? The rebels possess tanks and ground-to-air rockets capable of hitting a target at center and oltre10 miles? An aircraft 10 kilometers away and can be seen clearly identified with the use of binoculars? The current aviation military government of Ukraine has intercepted the passenger vehicle? These and other questions create a state of lack of clarity and so much interest of the parties in Europe, U.S. and Russia, such as the possible link (attacks) between the underground (earth) and the flight of MH-17 (air). Can these tragedies come from the spy satellites (sea)? newsru/russia/18jul2014/ukr_4.html - The Russian army has observed the work of the Ukrainian radar systems in the fall of Boeing. In Kiev have recalculated the missile available. The Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation stated that the land on which the route ran through the Malaysian ship, and where it falls in the killing of the two anti-aircraft batteries Ukrainian long-range S-200 battery and three medium-range Buk -M1, which can hit a target at a height of 10,000 meters, which was flying the plane.
