Search for MH17 victims 'too dangerous' to continue - World - NZ Herald News
The Netherlands' prime minister has halted the search for remains of victims of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 disaster in Ukraine, saying it is too dangerous to continue... found remains of only a few victims, despite expectations it might find as many as 80.

Rutte said that it now appears "fortunately that more was done after the disaster than we thought until now." Local Ukrainian authorities carried out "an intensive search in the area with 800 volunteers, and there were many bodies recovered in those (first) days," he said.
Apologies to the locals? Even CFIT on a pristine mountainside (Erebus, TE901) many bodies not found.
