On 17 July 2014, Malaysian Airlines MH17 was shot out of the sky
above Ukraine. Aboard were 298 people, 38 of whom were Australians.
No one survived. Subsequently it was shown that the airliner was
almost certainly hit by a Buk surface-to-air missile fired by
Ukrainian separatists aided by the Russian military. The debris
from the plane's disintegration mid-air was spread over 50 square
kilometres, but for weeks rescue teams and investigators were
denied access. The Russians have refused to take any responsibility
for the deaths. This is the story of some of the people who boarded
that fatal flight and the conflict below them that was doomed to
destroy their lives and the happiness of the people they left
behind. The fullest account yet published, it is also the story of
a continuing clamour for justice. Unsettling, compelling and
revealing, Shot Down will provoke both outrage that this criminal
act could have happened and deep sadness for the lives lost. 'A
compelling account of one of the most appalling aviation atrocities
of our time.' JIM EAMES, author of Courage in the Skies
