Re: Malaysian Airlines MH17 crashed in Ukraine

It sometimes takes awhile for the data to come together in a crash here, with an American plane coming down over American soil, due to known weather-event conditions. They don't rush a job like that, you know. I don't see that we have cause for complaint because they haven't released the data to us yet.
MH17 adds the fact that it came down over disputed territory, with everybody and his brother having reason to lie about things--- and you expect the data to be released yesterday??? Really? I would note that a BUK missile exploding in close proximity to the aircraft is unlikely to have done the data recorders any good, so they just may have a job piecing together the final moments of the flight from what's left. Remember-- it's a commercial airliner, not designed to be flown in combat conditions. The data recorders took a beating from the missile, too.
