I got exclusive access to america s own rocket program at the military s missile and space intelligence center and saw their arsenal of dangerous foreign weapons. it s a stash they say might come in handy as they try to stay a step ahead of groups like isis. a passenger plane headed from the netherlands to malaysia falls from the sky. malaysia irelines flight mh-17 brought down by russian-backed rebels using this surface-to-air missile system known as the buk. the ramifications of the strike far-reaching and incredibly alarming. because of who may be trying to obtain similar missiles now is there any concern today terrorist groups would have their hands on something like this? i think it s probably safe to assume at some level there are efforts under way. folks back home will say my god, look at that missile, can a group like isis get their hands on it? ....
These 18, some have come out of libya itself. these missiles couldn t have taken down that airplane at 31,000 feet. i think what scares people is if somehow the islamic state got, you know, high altitude missiles, the same one that took the melee airplane down, the buk system which the egyptians have. what s a scary scenario here is if somebody in the islamic state turned an egyptian army unit, a crew, and convinced it to shoot this airplane down. i don t know where those buk missiles there, where they re located in egypt. but that scenario would worry a lot of people and, in particular, not just world aviation but the israelis as well because if the egyptian military lost control of sophisticated weapons like this it would be a real danger to that part of the world. meanwhile, there are conflicting reports about what ....
In sinai where they killed several people of the e ggyptia ofish army. they operated like a precision, but there is no evidence to date that they have an tie aircraft system that could down a jet at 30,000. and you would need something like the buk. and how do we know that? and the reason that i look at this and ask, because people are looking at the mh-18 in the ukraine, and nobody knew that the rebels had the capability, and how did we know that? well, the rebels didn t, but the russians did. they gave it to them, and now the evidence suggests that it was man and operated by russian technicians. again, isis does not have that ....
They then brought from the ukraine over from the netherlands and reconstructed. the united states and ukraine continue to insist this was either the russians themselves or russian-backed separatists responsible. however, the russians vehement live denying that, their evidence saying that it was ukrainian forces that accidentally shot that down. the report is very critical about ukraine not closing down that air in which there was a hot war going on, many planes shot before in the weeks before mh-17 was shot down. i can t imagine you can go to the corner store and by a buk. there has to be a way of tracing that. the dutch are saying that the evidence is specific to the shrapnel and traces of paint ....
Reports say the missile originated from eastern ukraine. it did not conclude who fired it. investigators say all 298 people on board were killed or lost consciousness as soon as the missile hit. about three feet from the cockpit. want to dig deeper into this report. tom costello joining us now. this is a damning confirmation but what else did we learn? reporter: the russians take issue with this, saying the dutch investigation was biased, that the conclusions are wrong. the analysts say the russians are the ones who have no credibility. look at this video. an incredible job of reconstructing this plane that the dutch have undertaken in a military hangar as they have meticulously put the plane, the boeing 777 back together again and during that process, they say they found key metal fragments and paint chips that come from a russian buk missile. here s the animation the dutch released. they say depicting what happened. they claim it was a surface-to-air missile made by the russians th ....
