MOSCOW, August 24 (RIA Novosti) - The second special flight carrying the bodies of several Malaysian victims of MH17 flight that crashed in eastern Ukraine in July has arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian Bernama news agency reported Sunday.
A minute of silence at the airport accompanied the Sunday landing, just as the one on Friday, when the first 20 bodies were delivered and met by Malaysian King Abdul Halim, Prime Minister Najib Razak and other dignitaries.
The flight came from Amsterdam, where the remains were taken for identification by Dutch experts, leading the investigations into the disaster.
Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said one more plane with the bodies of MH17 passengers and crew members was expected to arrive on August 30.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crashed in eastern Ukraine on July 17 en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, killing all 298 people on board, including 193 Dutch nationals, 43 Malaysians and 27 Australians.
Ukrainian authorities claim independence supporters shot down the plane, but the latter say they did not have the equipment to hit a target flying that high.
More than a month has passed since the investigation into the crash began, but most experts agree that the cause of the catastrophe may never be established.
