Washington DC-One by one, victims of deadly plane crash Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 identified in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Not all of the bodies of 298 passengers and crew were evacuated from the plane of the scene in eastern Ukraine, near the border with Russia. In the turbulent region controlled by pro-Moscow separatists. War was raging there.
Regardless, a big question remains unanswered about the second deadly accident, after the disappearance of MH370, which overrides airline neighboring country: who is responsible for the tragic events that befall MH17
Australian media sites, International Business Times (IBT) on Wednesday (08/13/2014) ran an article titled, "MH17: US Passenger Jet Shot Down In 1988 - Scenarios Similar To MH17" - who called MH17 scenario similar to a similar incident in 1988, when the United States was accidentally shot down Iran Air Flight 655 plane.
What is similar ?
Here's the story: on July 3, 1988, a United States Navy captain who was on duty at the Aegis-class battleships, the USS Vincennes, taking action aircraft mistakenly shot down Iran Air Flight 655, which came from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
One bullet was recognized President Bill Clinton in 1966, when he expresses "deep regret" and offered compensation worth $ 131.8 billion US Iranian government. The families of the victims received US $ 61.8 of the total compensation paid. Tehran then stop the lawsuit against the United States in the International Court.
"In some ways, these two similar accidents," said Fred Kaplan, author and journalist, writing for Slate website.
The similarities according to him is, first, MH17 fly over the territory of Ukraine that are experiencing civil war, while Iran Air Flight 655 flew over the Strait of Hormuz - the moment the ongoing conflict in the middle of the sea.
The second similarity, there is speculation that the pro-Russian rebel MH17 mistook as a military transport aircraft belonging to Ukraine. Meanwhile, the United States Navy Captain, Will Rogers, one recognizes Iran Air Flight 655 as the F-14 fighter aircraft.
There is again another similarity that is, MH17 allegedly shot down using surface to air missiles Russian-made SA-11 which caused 298 people on board were killed including 80 children, while Iran Air Flight 655 was hit by a missile similar US-made SM-2 - 290 people were killed at that time, including 66 boys.
Not only that, in the latest incident the Russians blamed the Government of Ukraine. The first was so, the pilot Iranian officials blamed the United States.
Anyone person who is responsible for the fall of MH17, Kaplan said, they should be responsible. However, it can not necessarily be branded as terrorists or war criminals. "There is a clear distinction between a mistake in the war and terrible act of terrorism," he added.
Earlier, Prime Minister of Australia, Tony Abbott, with Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, vowed to give justice to the families and relatives of victims MH17.
"We owe it to those who died, we owe it to the bereaved family to bring (bodies) loved ones home. To demand justice for them," said Prime Minister Abbott in a press conference in The Hague some time ago.
To the Dutch Prime Minister, Abbott also said, "Australia and the Netherlands not only friend in grief, but partners in order to demand justice in the face of such terrible atrocities."
