Nothing tells the story of the tragic crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 like pictures from the still-unsecured site, where passengers’ bodies, personal effects, and remnants of the plane lay strewn on the ground.

#MH17 site is what isn’t there: many personal effects and parts of the plane. One can only speculate.

Journalists at the MH17 site in east Ukraine are tweeting pictures and updates. The site remains unsecured and the pro-Russian forces are not allowing any experts to access the site. 

#MH17 crash site until “investigative brigade” finishes work. Won’t say where the bodies are being taken.

Media outlets reported the black boxes were sent to Ukraine, but the rebels claim they never found them. The journalists said they could not find any black boxes at the scene.

The bodies of the victims are not treated with any respect, and Max Seddon, a Buzzfeed reporter currently at the site, does not think a credible investigation can take place.

#MH17, plus dozens mangled together and charred. Nobody will say where they’re going.

#MH17 site. Some in body bags by the side of the road. Others decomposing in the heat. Parts being shoveled into sacks.

#MH17 investigation is ridiculous. It’ll be a small miracle if relatives get the bodies semi-intact.

Here are more pictures. The bodies in these images are covered.
