Dutch say one MH17 passenger wore mask
Print Edition
THE body of one passenger of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was found wearing an oxygen mask, Dutch prosecutors said yesterday, raising questions about how much those on board knew about their fate when the plane plunged out of the sky above eastern Ukraine in July.
The passenger, an Australian, did not have the mask on his face, but its elastic strap was around his neck, said Wim de Bruin, a spokesman for the Dutch National Prosecutor’s Office which is carrying out a criminal probe into the air disaster.
De Bruin said Dutch forensic experts investigated the mask “for fingerprints, saliva and DNA and that did not produce any results. So it is not known how or when that mask got around the neck of the victim”.
De Bruin said no other bodies recovered from the wreckage were found wearing masks. He said he did not know where in the plane the Australian victim was sitting.
All 298 passengers and crew died when the jet flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur crashed on July 17.
Dutch air crash investigators said last month it was likely struck by multiple “high-energy objects from outside the aircraft”, which some aviation experts say is consistent with a strike by a missile.
The head of the criminal investigation said the most likely of possible scenarios being investigated is that the Boeing 777 was shot down from the ground.
