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.
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."
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.
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."
As report examines MH17 passengers' final seconds, Moscow presses international community on future status of eastern Ukraine:
Dutch Safety Board Chairman Tjibbe Joustra appears in an English version of a video accompanying the release of today's MH17 report.
He says the flight recordings and other data and information mentioned in the report:
"indicate that Flight MH17 proceeded as normal until it ended abruptly. Listening to the communications among the crew members in the cockpit via the cockpit voice recorder reveals no sign of any technical faults or an emergency situation. The pattern created by wreckage on the ground suggests an in-flight breakup of the aircraft. The available images show that pieces of wreckage were punctured in numerous places. The pattern of damage to the body of the aircraft and the cockpit is consistent with the damage that would be expected from a large number of high-energy objects that penetrated the aircraft. This is probably what led to the structural damage to the aircraft and would also explain the abrupt end to the data registration on the recorders, the simultaneous loss of contact with air-traffic control, and the aircraft's disappearance from the radar. The initial results of the investigations point towards an external cause of the MH17 crash. More research will be necessary to determine the cause with greater precision. The Safety Board believes that additional evidence will become available for the investigation in the period ahead. From this point on, the investigation team will be working towards reducing its final report. The board aims to publish this report within one year of the date of the crash."
