MH17 victims mourned in Amsterdam

Children have silently placed flowers next to 298 candles – one for each victim of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crash – at a sombre Dutch commemoration of the air disaster.

The nationally televised event in Amsterdam highlighted the ongoing grief, disbelief and anger of the families and friends of those killed when the Boeing 777 flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was downed on July 17 over conflict-hit eastern Ukraine.
