BBM ~ From the link I posted last, the locals seem to be saying their lives ripped from right underneath them because of this fighting.. This must be very shocking for them as well.
ITA ElleElle, I cannot fathom what the people there are going through right now. Not only are they dealing with the civil war going on, now there are bodies crashing through their homes because some monster (whoever they are) shot a plane out of the sky at 33,000 feet.
For me, an American, I would liken it to a plane going down over farmland, say in the middle of Indiana. There would immediately be Medical Examiners and FAA inspectors on site. Admittedly, the "experts" would be flown in hours later, but certainly not days later. It is obviously a different scenario between the Ukraine in the midst of a civil war and rural Indiana. However, in 2014 the world is a very accessible place, especially for the powers that be as evidenced by the non partisan group that was at the site the very next morning.
Have we ever seen something like this in history? A situation where many people of many countries have perished due to an act of terrorism and non partisan (if I'm saying this wrong I'm sorry, but groups like OSCE or the Red Cross are not allowed in)?
The sad fact of the matter is that two days after the crash of MH17 the scene is not secure. Some of the people who perished have been sent to locations unknown. Others are still there, in the fields. No grid search has been done and international contingent has been allowed more than the briefest access.
The people that lost their lives aboard MH17 deserve far better than what is being given them. Their families deserve better. The world is not a state of civil war and it is unacceptable that the parties involved in their own conflict cannot, for the smallest moment, give peace to innocent victims of their mistakes.
Who steps in now? Who makes this right? Can this
ever be made right?
ALWAYS MOO
