A year after Malaysia Airlines flight 17 was struck down above Ukraine, mourners are gathering around the world to remember the tragedy. Much of the world, including the United States government, believes MH17 was shot down by pro-Russian separatists, though Russia has long denied the claims.
There were 298 people on board, all of whom were killed. They hailed from numerous countries, including Australia and the Netherlands. In Australia, a memorial was created outside of the Parliament House in Canberra, with the names of the victims engraved.
