Accident investigators return to MH17 crash site

AANKOMST MH17 SLACHTOFFERS HILVERSUMA team of between 10 and 15 Dutch accident investigators returned on Tuesday to the site of the MH17 Malaysia Airlines crash in eastern Ukraine, according to broadcasters Nos and RTL.

The investigators will continue searching the crash site and recovering the remains of the Boeing aircraft which came down in July killing all 298 people on board.

However, the safety research institute told news site nu.nl that they will only confirm the news later on Tuesday if the work actually goes ahead.

Previous efforts to search the crash site have been hampered by fighting between the Ukrainian army and pro-Russian rebels.
