Christopher Vourlias When he began working on his sophomore documentary feature, “Iron Butterflies,” in 2019, Ukrainian filmmaker Roman Liubyi said he was “making the film as a warning, before the Third World War.” The film, which world premiered at Sundance, follows the Russian disinformation campaign surrounding the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 in Ukraine in 2014, a tragedy that was determined by a Dutch court in Nov. 2022 to have been caused by a missile supplied by the Russian military to separatists in Eastern Ukraine. Many Ukrainians thought the tragic event, which killed 289 civilian passengers and crew, would serve as a wake-up call to Europe and the U.S., which had largely turned a blind eye to Russia’s meddling in the region, said the director. But the years dragged on and the long-running conflict in Donbas retreated from the headlines — until an increasingly emboldened Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale assault on Ukraine last year.

plane disasters occurred when an airline pilot ignored warnings on the on-board alarm system and overran the runway in a fatal crash in Argentina.On August 31, 1999, a Boeing 737-204C craft overran the runway – killing 63 on board and two on the ground.The horror incident took place at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery in Beunos Aires, Argentina.READ MORE: Giant 9,000-person ship must sell for £900m or it'll be scrapped before first voyageThe specific craft involved was built in 1970 and was due to depart at around 8.54pm local time, but failed to actually get airborne.Just as it was starting its takeover run, the take-off warnings system – better known as TOWS – activated and set off an alarm in the cockpit.The system was telling the pilots that the craft was “not correctly configured” to take off, but the warning was ignored.It later emerged that the flaps on the wings were indeed not in the take-off position, and were actually fully retracted.This stopped the craft from taking off, and it ended up overshooting the runway, breaking the fence surrounding the airport, crossing a road and hitting a car.It finally stopped when it hit some construction machinery nearby.Sadly, a fuel spillage as a result of the crash started to happen, which hit the hot engines.Gas was also leaking from an internal system, and the entire craft was destroyed in the ensuing blast.But before the explosion, 37 people managed to escape out of the 100 on-board – five of whom were crew.In the investigation after the horror scene, it became clear that the pilot did not have a license – which the airline Lineas Aereas Privadas Argentinas knew about.A report into the incident stated: “In its final run after failing to take off, the aircraft hit a Chrysler Neon
