MH17: Germany failed to warn

Location crash MH17

BERLIN - GERMANY. The German government had been informed of the risk of flight routes in eastern Ukraine before the flight MH17 shot down in July last year but failed to disseminate information according to the report.

Citing reports Deutsche Welle, two days before the crash, the German Foreign Ministry was informed that the situation in the area is "very worrying" because an army of Ukraine Antonov cargo plane was shot down at an altitude of over 6,000 meters (19,600 feet).

Firing incident plane at an altitude clearly demonstrates the ability to shoot down any aircraft at higher altitudes and this means that it is very dangerous on passenger aircraft through the zone.

According to reports German TV channel NDR and WDR and Sueddeutsche Zeitung, the information given by the German intelligence to the government, but the information is not shared by any airline Germany.

In the meantime, the airline Lufthansa told German media that they did not get any information about the dangers of the route by the government.

"If the airline know about these things, then of course Lufthansa will not be flown in eastern Ukraine again," said company sources.

Other German airline has avoided using this route as a precaution.

Earlier, MH17 crashed in eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2014, believed to be shot down, when carrying 298 passengers and crew on the way from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.

A total of 43 Malaysians were on that plane.
