The downing of Malaysia flight MH17, delays in access to the crash site, and shipment home of the deceased has many thinking about what could have been done to avoid it this tragedy.

 

Another question to ask is what are the rebels trying to hide? The delay in allowing inspectors to the crash site along with the delay in collecting the bodies all while the rebels based on various news sources with cell phone pictures and cell phone videos showing rebels removing evidence makes this an even bigger question.

 

Years now the world has known that weapons manufactures have done everything they can to keep sales flowing.  It would not be a far stretch to think that there are many who are involved in one way or another in the backroom deals to keep the flow of cash going for weapons sales.

 

According to Business Insider, Time, and the Moscow Times, Russia saw a 28% increase in weapon sales since lifting the embargo to many countries such as Pakistan, Syrian government and Ukraine rebels.

The world weapons companies mostly made up of the US, Canada and Western Europe saw sales last year decline by 4.2% compared to Russia's surge of 28%. This reflects selling into civil war torn countries that most western nations are trying to reduce.

 

Based on so many various news stories and looking at the way weapon companies sales have been going, I will say that the weapon companies followed by countries pushing weapon sales are totally to blame for the downing of MH17. Russia as of 2013 became the world's largest seller and exporter of weapons according to Wikipedia.

There was a warning on April second telling airlines to stay the hell out of that territory.  Also, most of the previous flights on that route flew well south of the danger zone.  While I do not condone shooting down MH 17 or Korean Ari Lines 007, some fault must go tot he crews and airlines for having their plane at the wrong place at the wrong time IMHO.
