Ten years on, MH17 families are still seeking truth and justice

Just four months after the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines flight over the Indian Ocean, there was another tragedy: MH17, shown down over eastern Ukraine on June 17, 2014. All of the almost 300 passengers and crew on board were killed, including 38 Australians. Now, ten years on, the families of those lost on the flight are gathering to commemorate the tragedy, as authorities continue to seek justice for their loved ones.
