Most victims in MH17 were from Netherlands (193). Of course 43 malaysians and 12 indonesians is still a lot, but what are you going to do. There is no international law for those that just choose not to abide by it. Ruzzian terrorists could hijack a british plane and get a way with it when just Putler waves his nuke card.

There were two people from Newcastle on the plane. They were both die hard Newcastle United fans and travelled to every single match. At the time they were flying to Australia to watch the toon play in some pre-season friendlies.
I remember seeing them both in London away ends. Both were very distinctive looking. One was nicknamed the undertaker because he always used to wear a spooky suit, trench coat and dour hat.

I did some filming with a Malaysian diplomat last Friday. Had no idea that Malaysia has a neutral stance on the war and everything to do with it, despite MH17.
She reckons it's more of an Asian way of thinking - shit happened, you can't change it and retaliation wouldn't fix it so it's better to be pragmatic.
I find that quite mind boggling - imagine if that had been a US plane.
