But I have not seen any photos or maps showing anything of the front of the aircraft, i.e. the flight deck, windscreens, etc. Where are they?
I was wondering that but the cockpit windows were shown on BBC News today - the Ukrainian investigators used a photo of it to illustrate where the first missile hit (directly below the cockpit) and how, sadly, this would have killed the pilots instantly leading to no further ATC comms.
It's an un-nerving picture to look at.
