Dutch report says "the distance between the closest aircraft and MH17 was approximately 30 km," citing radar data that showed "three commercial aircraft...in the same Control Area as flight MH17 at the time of the occurrence."
Dutch experts say the Malaysian passenger jet that crashed in eastern Ukraine in July appears to have been brought down by a large number of "high-energy objects" that penetrated the aircraft.
Under "Damage" in the report's "Summary of Findings":
"Damage observed on the forward fuselage and cockpit section of the aircraft appears to indicate that there were impacts from a large number of high-energy objects from outside the aircraft.
"The pattern of damage observed in the forward fuselage and cockpit section of the aircraft was not consistent with the damage that would be expected from any known failure mode of the aircraft, its engines or systems.
"The fact that there were many pieces of the aircraft structure distributed over a large area, indicated that the aircraft broke up in the air."
Under conclusions, heading ATC/Airspace...so nearest commercial plane was 30 kilometers away and there was "no distress message":
"At the time of the occurrence, flight MH17 was flying at FL330 in unrestricted airspace of the Dnipropetrovs'k (UKDV) FIR in the eastern part of the Ukraine, the aircraft flew on a constant heading, speed and altitude when the Flight Data Recording ended. UkSATSE had issued NOTAMs that restricted access to the airspace below FL320.
"The last radio transmission made by the crew began at 13:19.56 hrs and ended at 13:19.59 hrs.
"The last radio transmissions made by Dnipropetrovs'k air traffic control centre to flight MH17 began at 13:20.00 hrs and ended at 13.22.02 hrs. The crew did not respond to these transmissions.
"No distress messages were received by the ATC.
"According to radar data three commercial aircraft were in the same Control Area as flight MH17 at the time of the occurrence. All were under control of Dnipro Radar. At 13:20 hrs the distance between the closest aircraft and MH17 was approximately 30 km.
"Both recordings ended at 13:20.03" on July 17, it notes.
Dutch report says among findings:
"No evidence or indications of manipulation of the [flight and cockpit] recorders were found."
