More MH17 victims to return to Netherlands today

Another plane carrying remaining victims from the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crash will arrive at Eindhoven Airport this afternoon at around 4 p.m. According to Dagblad de Limburger, the plane from Kharkiv will be carrying only a few coffins, and will be received with the same ceremony that was given the earlier flights. There will be a minute of silence following a performance of The Last Post, then the coffins will be loaded onto hearses and transported in a police-escorted column to the Korporaal van Oudheusden barracks in Hilversum for identification. The column will travel over the A2 and A27, which will be closed while the vehicles are in transit.
