Photos of Passengers of MH17

Yesterday July 17th, 298 people died when a Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was brought down  by a surface-to-air missile, allegedly by pro-Russian rebels.

Sadly, on board the MH17 were more than 100 AIDS researchers who were heading to an international conference in Australia. Also among the dead were 80 children, including three Australian children who were traveling with their grandfather Nick Morris. 

According to an Australian newspaper, the family had been on holiday and the children’s parents had remained in Amsterdam for a few extra days while Mr Norris took his grandchildren on MH17 to get them back to Australia in time for school. The plane was going from Kuala Lumpur to Australia.

There were 173 passengers from the Netherlands, 27 from Australia, 44 from Malaysia, 12 from Indonesia, 9 from the UK, 4 from Belgium, 4 from Germany, 3 from Philippines, 1 from Canada.
