Family members who viewed the wreckage at the Gilze-Rijen military airbase in the southern Netherlands did not speak to the media on Tuesday. More family members were to visit later this week, some 500 people in all. The wreckage, spread across three hangars, included wings, wheels, parts of the fuselage and overhead luggage bins. Some of it was scorched black by fire, while some pieces of the plane’s thin metal body were scratched, twisted and torn. Not visible to the media were parts of the plane that investigators previously said appeared “to indicate that the aircraft was penetrated by a large number of high-energy objects from outside the aircraft”. Experts will soon begin piecing together parts of the plane to help investigators assess the damage and definitively establish the cause, said Sara Vernooij, a spokeswoman for the Dutch safety board, which is leading the civilian inquiry. The board’s chairman, Tjibbe Joustra, said the final report would probably be published in October. A spokesman for the Dutch national prosecutor’s office, Wim de Bruin, said the criminal investigation was of an unprecedented scale and would take at least the rest of this year to complete. Silene Fredriksz-Hoogzand, whose son, Bryce, and his girlfriend, Daisy Oehlers, were on board the stricken flight, will visit the wreckage on Saturday. “It brings it very close to home,” she said. “It is where they spent their last hours.” For some relatives, viewing the wreckage is just too hard. Yasmine Calehr, the grandmother of two brothers who died on MH17, lives in Houston, Texas, and decided not to view the wreckage. “I … could not bear the sight of it,” she said in an email to AP.

Investigators said a warhead fired by a Buk missile system in Ukraine was responsible for the disaster that killed all 298 people on board MH17’s passengers and crew may have been conscious for the one-and-a-half minutes it took the plane to crash, investigators have said. In its final report into the crash, the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) described how a warhead fired by a Buk missile system exploded a metre from the cockpit. The three people inside were killed instantly by the blast but the 295 other people on board survived the initial impact. As the damage and pressure wave started to make the Boeing 777 break up, everyone on board was “almost immediately exposed to factors that had an extreme impact on the body”, which depended on where they were sitting, the report said. “There was the deafening noise of the impact, abrupt deceleration and acceleration, decompression and the corresponding mist formation, reduced oxygen level, extreme cold, powerful airflow, the aeroplane’s rapid descent and objects flying around.” Some were killed by serious injuries, while others are believed to have lost consciousness, but the DSB could not confirm when they died. “It cannot be ruled out that some of the occupants remained consciousness for some time during the one to one-and-a-half minutes for which the crash lasted,” a spokesperson said. “The Dutch Safety Board deems it likely that the occupants were barely able to comprehend the situation in which they found themselves.” Although the report said it was unlikely that passengers “performed conscious actions” after the missile’s impact, the mystery of a person wearing an oxygen mask was unsolved. Samples of DNA could not be retrieved and “it remains unclear whether the person concerned put on the mask in a reflex or that it was done on the ground after the passenger’s death”. No photographs or text messages were sent after the impact, as have been seen with other crashes, which suggests the 298 people on board were either unconscious or unable to act. “There may have been reflexive actions such as clutching the armrests of the seat,” the report said. Tjibbe Joustra, the organisation’s chairman, showed journalists gathered at Gilze-Rijen Air Base an animation of the missile’s impact, showing how “high-energy” debris sprayed the cockpit. He told reporters that the front part of the aircraft was torn off, before it started breaking up in the air and centre and tail hit the ground separately. Mr Joustra said cubic and bow-tie shaped metal fragments from the warhead were found embedded in the fuselage and in the bodies of dead crew members, allowing investigators to trace the type of weapon. Families said they were told their loved ones would have died extremely quickly after the explosion and would most probably not have known what was happening. Barry Sweeney, whose 28-year-old son Liam was on board, told the BBC that he believed the passengers did not suffer. “Hopefully most people were unconscious by the time this happened and death would have occurred pretty quick. That is a comfort for 298 sets of relatives.” He added: “I'm going to have to go away and think 'Yes, Liam died instantly as (did) 297 other people'. If you think otherwise, it's just going to hurt forever.” Before the findings were delivered on Tuesday, Russian weapons manufacturer Almaz-Antey released its own report refuting the Dutch conclusions and claiming that the 9M38 is no longer used by Russia’s military. The DSB report did not aim to establish blame for the MH17 disaster, which is being examined in a separate criminal investigation by the Dutch prosecutor. It found that the missile could have been launched over a 320 square km area, with separate modelling carried out by investigators in the Netherlands, Russia and Ukraine narrowing it down to slightly different parts of contested Donetsk Oblast. Investigators also drew up a list of recommendations to prevent similar disasters in the future, criticising Ukraine for its decision to restrict rather than close airspace over a conflict zone. They said states in civil conflict “must do more” to protect passenger planes, even those flying at cruising altitude.

Read moreTjibbe Joustra, the chairman of the Dutch safety board, said the Malaysia Airlines plane was hit by a 9N314M warhead on 17 July 2014, as it flew at 33,000ft (10,000 metres) above eastern Ukraine The warhead was fitted to a “9M28 missile” fired from a Russian-built Buk missile system Speaking in front of the reconstructed plane – pieced together from parts of recovered debris fitted around a metal skeleton – Joustra said all other scenarios to explain the disaster An animated video was shown to journalists at the Gilze-Rijen airbase in the Netherlands where the plane was part reassembled over three months It showed the Buk missile exploding on the left-hand side of the cockpit with hundreds then penetrating the plane with tremendous force The impact and ensuing pressure drop killed the three pilots instantly,he said On-board microphones captured the moment of impact – “a sound ping” This allowed investigators to determine the devastating blast occurred on the upper-left hand side of the cockpit The front section of the Boeing 777 below the pilot’s port window was perforated with large shrapnel holes Five windows in the business class section were visible together with a door where the passengers entered The pilot’s seats had been remounted in the cockpit – a haunting sight together with much of its upper front half Exit holes left by shrapnel could be seen on the other right side; exploding fragments had ripped through the fuselage Animation shows Russian-built Buk missile hit Malaysia Airlines MH17 GuardianAccording to Joustra The cockpit and the floor of the business class tore away almost instantly from the main body and crashed The rest of the plane continued flying for about five miles in an easterly direction hitting the ground about a minute to a minuter and a half later In a briefing on Tuesday morning to relatives of the victims Joustra said the passengers on board – two-thirds of whom were Dutch nationals – would have been unconscious within seconds The board had previously made clear its findings would not deal with blame and liability; a criminal investigation by the Dutch prosecutor’s office is scheduled to conclude in early 2016 Joustra said the Buk had been fired from a 320 sq km area of eastern Ukraine the scene of a conflict between pro-Russia separatists backed by Moscow and Ukrainian government forces He said “further forensic investigation” would be needed to determine the exact launch site Ukraine and Russia had all carried out their own simulations into the missile’s probable trajectory Russia was the only one of seven countries involved in the report’s preparation that dissented from its central conclusions adding that Moscow believed “it was impossible to determine the type of missile or warhead with any certainty” It is widely assumed that Russia-backed separatists were responsible for bringing down MH17 but the US has stopped short of blaming Moscow directly The Kremlin has blamed Kiev – variously suggesting that a Ukrainian military jet shot down the Boeing 777 or that a missile was launched from a government-held area Malaysia Airlines MH17 wreckage reconstruction unveiled by crash investigators GuardianThe Russian simulation includes areas under Ukrainian government control. The other simulations suggest the Buk was fired from separatist areas. An open source investigation by the website Bellingcat tracks the Buk from a Russian military base in Kursk It was then smuggled across the Ukrainian border In Moscow, the makers of Buk missile systems gave a press conference on Tuesday morning apparently to distract attention from the Dutch report The manufacturer said it had performed two experiments it says prove one of its missiles could not have been launched from areas under pro-Russia separatist control Relatives of passengers react to Dutch investigation findings GuardianThe Dutch safety board report, published in English and Dutch, concedes that family members had to wait “an unnecessarily long period of time” for formal confirmation that their loved ones were dead. The Dutch authorities “lacked management and coordination”, he said. The victims came from nine countries, including Malaysia and Australia, and with 10 victims from the UK. Joustra also said there was a simple, “dispiriting” answer to the question: why was MH17 allowed to fly above eastern Ukraine? It had not occurred to anybody that the airspace was unsafe for civilian jets at cruising altitude, he said. This was despite 60 Ukrainian aircraft and helicopters had been downed since the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in spring 2014.
