Bodies of MH17 crash victims tossed into rubbish trucks and carted off to morgue train after three days laying in 85f heat

 For three days the 298 victims of the attack were left where they fell, in a field near the village of Grabovo in eastern Ukraine which is controlled by pro-Russian rebels, widely suspected of shooting the plane out of the sky on Thursday afternoon.
Over the weekend a chaotic clean-up operation finally began, where bodies were wrapped in black plastic and lined up along the roadside before being heaped onto dirty trucks to be taken to the train at a station nine miles away. In a further blow, it was claimed the refrigeration on board the carriages has not been working.

As if the heartache couldn’t get any worse, families of MH17 victims were today greeted with the most undignified scene imaginable – their loved ones in black body bags being lined up on the side of a road and thrown into the back of rubbish trucks.

Prime Minister David Cameron and Foreign Secretary Philip, as well as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, have spoken of imposing economic sanctions on Russia as punishment, while Vladimir Putin spoke in a television address today warning his critics in the West against using the disaster for 'narrowly selfish political goals'.

Repercussions from the disaster were today being felt around the world, as Western powers become increasingly certain that Russia is at least partly to blame for the attack.
