Both the aviation and the criminal investigation are still underway, and it seems it will be a long process. In the meantime, the families of those who died are trying to heal their wounds. The questions that remain are Who did it? Why? Did those responsible know it was a passenger plane and not a military plane?<\/p>\n<p>Today, the families gathered to remembered their loved ones. Because the plane crashed into a sunflower field, many arrived at the ceremony with sunflowers instead of roses. In Ukraine, people also gathered to remember the victims, carrying sunflowers and showing camaraderie with all those affected by this terrible tragedy. My prayers are with the family of the victims. May the victims rest in peace and live in the hearts of their loved ones.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Zonnebloemen voor slachtoffers MH17 - RTL NIEUWS\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CFKPCARuuDc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One year ago, the Malaysia plane flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was shot down in a rebel area of Ukraine.
