## Transcript

Investigators will analyze the flight recorders from M817 to get a better idea of what happened to the plane pro russian rebels gave the recorders to Malaysian officials on Tuesday days after the crash that killed nearly 300 people as to whether the black boxes might have been tampered with experts say this is highly unlikely you can't go in and fool around with the data. Exchange, move data points around if there was any kind of attempt to alter then investigators would know immediately. But if the plane was indeed shot down as the US government claims. The flight data and voice recorders alone won't show who's responsible.

Not everyone has been supporting a real investigation in to this crime. If they were, international experts would have have unimpeded access to the crime scene, and all of the wreckage would have been left where it had fallen. As rebels continue to deny responsibility, a man who's grandson died on flight 17 blames them. Blames Russia and blames Ukraine. I am very angry about the whole situation. And I'm not really only angry with the, rebel rebel in Kulup, but also with the Ukraine government who had been too weak after three months. No to be able to silence the rebellion. After being left to the elements for days the bodies of the dead were finally loaded on to a train and shipped out of Donetsk.

Dutch inspectors said they were more or less satisfied with how those remains were being stored
