Ukrainian searching for details of MH17 victim found in her house

An Ukrainian woman is searching for information about one of the 298 MH17 victims. Exactly a year ago one of the victims fell through the roof of her house in Rozsipnoje in eastern Ukraine. Inna Tipoenova cannot forget this woman, and hopes that if she can find out more about this victim, she may be able to move on with her life. "I really want to know who she was", Tipoenova told news agency ANP. "Maybe look at some photos to find out anything about her short life." Tipoenova can not get the woman who crashed through the roof of her summer kitchen - an outbuilding where Ukrainians prepare food if it's too hot to cook in the house - out of her head. She thinks she was affected even more by what happened because the woman was still recognizable and was in her home for a day before she was picked up. Tipoenova was not at home on July 17th, 2014 but was visiting another women of the village near by. She rushed home when they saw the plane break into pieces in the air. Her son ran up to her and told her that someone was in the summer kitchen. She found the victim - a woman in a black dress with an Asian appearance - lying on top of debris from the roof. She and her son still often talk about the woman, whose name they don't even know. Rozsipnoje is where flight MH17's cockpit came down. The field where the cockpit landed is still littered with small pieces of the aircraft and other equipment. A wooden cross has been placed there to commemorate the victims of the disaster.
