The country that bore the heaviest toll in the crash in eastern ukraine. A day of National Mourning as the first bodies from the disaster will flow into the city. The rest of the bodies are awaiting transport over the next few days. Two military aircraft carrying the bodies of 40 victims arrived in the netherlands from the ukraine this afternoon. King wilhelm alexander led the dignitaries on the tarmac. In all, 1300 people were there including many relatives of a adams. Some of the victims. They observed a minute of silence at 4 00 p. M. After leaving the air base, they carried individual coffins to a military facility in the north of the country. It is their teams of experts will attempt to identify the remains. It was a chance for them to pay their respects to the first of the victims to return to the country. The rest of the netherlands also came to a standstill for one minute. Flags flew at half mast on a national day of mourning. Many are still trying to make sense of the disaster. Is crazy that so many people died for no reason at all. Over half of the passengers were dutch. One of them worked at a fast food restaurant. Her boss says that she loves to sing and dance and she will be sorely missed. That is her right there. I will always remember her this way. It is hard to imagine. She left behind a husband, daughter, and two granddaughters. She was on her way to indonesia where she was planning to visit her family. Now the grim task of identifying the bodies can begin. The process can take months. Our correspondent has been observing events. What were your impressions of this terribly sad day . It is a day of mourning across the netherlands and the ceremony that took place at the airport was an important part of this process. It did give friends and relatives a chance to grieve and perhaps bring a bit of closure to this horrible disaster. I would say it is very sobering and somber occasion, watching them offload these simple wooden caskets knowing that the remains inside are still yet unidentified. The impression is the people of the netherlands are feeling very different emotional. Profound grief and anger. I think as far as anger, it is being expressed more alleged by dutch politicians more or less by dutch politicians, calling for urgent action against those responsible to be held accountable. For now, the focus has shifted to recovering the rest of the bodies from the crash site and the long process of identifying them. Enqueue for those impressions.
