Here are some very impressive video's of the arrival of the victims of flight MH-17, which has been shot down above the Ukraine. I am sure you have heard about it, but didn't see this, millions of Dutch people watched this on tv or stood near the road and lay flowers everywhere to remember the 298 victims of this flight.
The first video shows the arrival of two Airforce planes, a Dutch C130 Hercules and a Australian C17 Globemaster, carrying 40 coffins (the rest follows in the days after, all 298 will arrive the same way) with people who died on this flight. They are carried out by several soldiers with military honor.
The second video shows the long procession of seem cars (40 the first day, 74 the second day, third and fourth day ??) over the dutch highway, viewed by thousends of people next to the road to give the victims their last tribute. It shocked the whole world, but especially the Dutch people. They just wanted to go on their holidays, visit their family, do business or go to an important HIV conference, but they would never arrive and would never come back.
Some talking is in dutch, but the images say enough.................. This to remember all passengers of flight MH-17 !!
Please take a few minutes to watch this, its very emotional and touching !! Thank you.
This last video I also wanted to show to all of you, a very emotional speech of our Minister of Foreign Affairs speaking to the United Nations.
