Surprising the main media is not all over this story.

Surprising the main media is not all over this story. More and more voices come forward Malaysian Airlines MH17 may have not been shot down by East Ukrainian rebels or Russia, but by the Kiev controlled Ukrainian airforce. Most likely this was a tragic event of deadly errors.

Voices from experts including a retired Lufthansa pilot,a respected independent research company, and some major media from Singapore to Canada are slowly coming forward.

After US president Obama and European leaders came out within a day concluding rebels to be the guilty party, some analysts in the United States already concluded days later that Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down by an air-to-air missile, and that the Ukrainian government had something to do with it.

In the meantime the western world only communicated with the Ukrainian government. The same government that may be behind this tragedy, the same government accused of killing their own citizens in the Eastern Ukraine by the thousands, and the same right wing Ukrainian government receiving major support from the United States and EU countries without questioning.

This corroborates an emerging theory postulated by local investigators that the Boeing 777-200 was crippled by an air-to-air missile and finished off with cannon fire from a fighter that had been shadowing it as it plummeted to earth.

In a damning report dated Aug 3, headlined โ€œFlight 17 Shoot-Down Scenario Shiftsโ€, Associated Press reporter Robert Parry said โ€œsome US intelligence sources had concluded that the rebels and Russia were likely not at fault and that it appears Ukrainian government forces were to blameโ€.

This new revelation was posted on GlobalResearch, an independent research and media organization.

In a statement released by the Ukrainian embassy on Tuesday, Kiev denied that its fighters were airborne during the time MH17 was shot down. This follows a statement released by the Russian Defence Ministry that its air traffic control had detected Ukrainian Air Force activity in the area on the same day.

They also denied all allegations made by the Russian government and said the countryโ€™s core interest was in ensuring an immediate, comprehensive, transparent and unbiased international investigation into the tragedy by establishing a state commission comprising experts from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and Eurocontrol.

โ€œWe have evidence that the plane was downed by Russian-backed terrorist with a BUK-M1 SAM system (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation reporting name SA-11) which, together with the crew, had been supplied from Russia. This was all confirmed by our intelligence, intercepted telephone conversations of the terrorists and satellite pictures.

โ€œAt the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have never used any anti-aircraft missiles since the anti-terrorist operations started in early April,โ€ the statement read.

Yesterday, the Singapore New Straits Times quoted experts who had said that photographs of the blast fragmentation patterns on the fuselage of the airliner showed two distinct shapes โ€” the shredding pattern associated with a warhead packed with โ€œflechettesโ€, and the more uniform, round-type penetration holes consistent with that of cannon rounds.

Parryโ€™s conclusion also stemmed from the fact that despite assertions from the Obama administration, there has not been a shred of tangible evidence to support the conclusion that Russia supplied the rebels with the BUK-M1 anti-aircraft missile system that would be needed to hit a civilian jetliner flying at 33,000 feet.

Parry also cited a July 29 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation interview with Michael Bociurkiw, one of the first Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) investigators to arrive at the scene of the disaster, near Donetsk.

Bociurkiw is a Ukrainian-Canadian monitor with OSCE who, along with another colleague, were the first international monitors to reach the wreckage after flight MH17 was brought down over eastern Ukraine.

In the CBC interview, the reporter in the video preceded it with: โ€œThe wreckage was still smouldering when a small team from the OSCE got there. No other officials arrived for daysโ€.

โ€œThere have been two or three pieces of fuselage that have been really pockmarked with what almost looks like machinegun fire; very, very strong machinegun fire,โ€ Bociurkiw said in the interview.

Parry had said that Bociurkiwโ€™s testimony is โ€œas close to virgin, untouched evidence and testimony as weโ€™ll ever get. Unlike a black-box interpretation-analysis long afterward by the Russian, British or Ukrainian governments, each of which has a horse in this race, this testimony from Bociurkiw is raw, independent and comes from one of the two earliest witnesses to the physical evidence.

โ€œThatโ€™s powerfully authoritative testimony. Bociurkiw arrived there fast because he negotiated with the locals for the rest of the OSCE team, who were organising to come later,โ€ Parry had said.

Retired Lufthansa pilot Peter Haisenko had also weighed in on the new shootdown theory with Parry and pointed to the entry and exit holes centred around the cockpit.

โ€œYou can see the entry and exit holes. The edge of a portion of the holes is bent inwards. These are the smaller holes, round and clean, showing the entry points most likely that of a 30mm caliber projectile.

โ€œThe edge of the other, the larger and slightly frayed exit holes, show shreds of metal pointing produced by the same caliber projectiles. Moreover, it is evident that these exit holes of the outer layer of the double aluminum reinforced structure are shredded or bent โ€” outwardly.โ€

He deduced that in order to have some of those holes fraying inwardly, and the others fraying outwardly, there had to have been a second fighter firing into the cockpit from the airlinerโ€™s starboard side. This is critical, as no surface-fired missile (or shrapnel) hitting the airliner could possibly punch holes into the cockpit from both sides of the plane.

โ€œIt had to have been a hail of bullets from both sides that brought the plane down. This is Haisenkoโ€™s main discovery. You canโ€™t have projectiles going in both directions โ€” into the left-hand-side fuselage panel from both its left and right sides โ€” unless they are coming at the panel from different directions.

โ€œNobody before Haisenko had noticed that the projectiles had ripped through that panel from both its left side and its right side. This is what rules out any ground-fired missile,โ€ Parry had said.
