Remembering the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, 10 years later. Explore the impact and stories of those affected by the tragedy.

The downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in 2014 marked a tragic moment in aviation history, just months after the disappearance of MH370. Ten years later, families and nations still mourn the 298 lives lost. As Malaysia remains steadfast in seeking justice, the global community reflects on the lessons learned from this heartbreaking event.

Amid the grief, stories of resilience emerge. Ivy Loi, the widow of an MH17 pilot, courageously allows her sons to pursue careers in aviation, honoring their father's legacy. In Australia, relatives of the victims come together to commemorate the anniversary, seeking solace and closure.

The quest for justice continues, with unresolved issues surrounding the downing of MH17. Efforts to secure the crash site and hold those responsible accountable remain ongoing. As the world remembers the tragedy, the story of 'The Dozen Persons' who heroically secured the black boxes from the crash site in war-torn Donetsk serves as a testament to courage under fire.

A decade on, the memory of MH17 lives on in the hearts of those affected. From the initial shock of the downing to ongoing legal proceedings, the impact of this tragedy reverberates globally. Let us honor the memory of the 298 individuals lost and strive for a world where such incidents never recur.
