Wreck recovery under way at MH17 crash site

Work has started on the recovery of wreckage from Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which was downed over Ukraine with the loss of 298 lives.

The Dutch Safety Board, which is leading the investigation into the disaster, has up to now had limited access to the crash site.

However, the DSB said a few days ago that it hoped to start the recovery soon, and yesterday it said work had begun.
