I have to wonder if some of the facts are actually sinking in with some people.
The armed rebels have prevented independent investigators from accessing the crash site, tampered with the crime scene, used crude machinery to move around massive pieces or wreckage and have now loaded dead bodies into train wagons and are going to take them to an UNDISCLOSED destination.
Read through that a few times and tell yourself this is really happening right now as we speak.....
Funny, they claim they are waiting on international inspectors and are dismayed at why they are not arriving.
Everybody has a story to tell, with an agenda.
I am still picking through stories, you seem to have chosen one.

Funny they would say that when international inspectors have already been allowed to see the refrigerated bodies so which one is it? And it doesn't change the fact they intend to take the bodies away to an undisclosed location.
Any more "facts" for us today?

BBC are now saying that inspectors have been allowed into the area. They also showed some disturbing footage shot allegedly just after the plane came down of rebels searching through luggage and also trying to find the black boxes.

Well they have to identify the bodies, would you prefer the bodies rot in a field whilst the inspectors arrive?
I would think leaving them to rot in the field would be very disrespectful and ripe for disease spreading in the area and makes autopsies harder. I am sure the families wouldnt want that. I know I wouldnt, in fact I would thank them for preserving the bodies.

They only started moving the bodies at the earliest yesterday. And this is what should have been done right at the beginning, exactly as you said. The BBC footage was filmed by the rebels as soon as they got to the crash site right after the plane came down. They made no attempt to collect the bodies, they seemed more interested in finding what they could.

Yeah, intense fire and flames does that.
I thought you all knew, jet fuel can melt steel and destroy skyscrapers.

As far as can be seen from the footage there was no fire , but hey sarcasm was never my strong point

Why didn't the separatists allow the monitors that arrived on Friday unrestricted access to the scene? Why do they continue to prevent unrestricted access? If they were worried about preserving the bodies why did it take then two days to move them to an undisclosed location? Burning jet fuel is not an reason. Jet fuel is a quick burning accelerant and would have burned out within an hour.

You know the thing that has been bugging me about this outside of all the arguments going on that seems different from the 370 scenario, is no one seems to be questioning the "Cargo" on this plane.
I only mention this because we have obviously seen soldiers going through what looked like boxes of things being tossed onto a truck. Besides that just being wrong and destroying a crime scene, it seems like it was almost a priority of what to do before dealing with the bodies.
With 370, we came up with the important people pretty fast that were on the flight that led to all kinds of speculation, and this flight we now know about the Aids people.
With 370 after finally getting to the cargo, we discovered the lithium batteries and the tons of fruit. That raised more question, the batteries more so than the fruit of course.
So, here I am now, curious as to why it was so important to get "boxes" on a truck and taken away as a seemingly first priority.
Are we perhaps looking at the wrong things here? All fighting about who did it and not what other reasons someone might have done it?
Maybe the escort jets were more of a marker of which plane to shoot down. Arguments about why other planes got past this area safely and this one didnt. Maybe that would explain why they were there? To make sure the plane got were it needed to be?
I know I may be reaching here, but as in depth as we went into 370, I do think the cargo may possibly be a key to this which is being overlooked, especially with the immediate actions that were taken by the soldiers on the ground.

And of course even though the separatists are poorly trained (at least that's what their supporters keep saying) they are much more adept at handling plane crashes than the monitors and investigators who are trained to deal with such things. That must be why they're not allowing the professionals access. They're just looking out for their safety.

The Vice News clip from two days later doesn't show any sign of fire damage to the bodies, and dozens of bodies laying where they fell in the debris. There had been no attempt to remove bodies that were even out in fields, far away from the wreckage.
Yeah, intense fire and flames does that. So does artillary from the Ukranian army.
