The 298 passengers and crew aboard MH17 will have been oblivious to the horror as a shrapnel-based missile instantly shredded the doomed plane, experts claim.
有專家表示，載有298人的馬航MH17是在毫不知情的情況下遭受到榴霰彈的襲擊，導致機體瞬間粉碎。

The SA-11 missile - known as a Grizzly - that hit the doomed Malaysian Airlines flight is designed to pulverise aircraft on impact.
擊中馬航客機的元兇是型號為SA-11的導彈（俗稱“灰熊”），它令遇難客機在受到?jīng)_擊時瓦解。

It will have perforated the plane at various points, ignited the fuel, and taken out the engines and the wings within a split second - meaning the people aboard will have been unconscious almost instantly.
導彈在機體上貫穿出很多孔，點燃了燃料，緊接著就摧毀了引擎和機翼——這意味著當時機上的乘客還不明白到底發(fā)生了什么。

The surface-to-air missile hit the Boeing 777 with such force that residents in the area claim to have seen bodies falling from the sky ‘like rags’.

皇家國防聯(lián)合研究所的調(diào)查分析員賈斯汀·布郎克告訴每日郵報：“設計SA-11導彈的目的就是為了摧毀飛行器。”

'The missile is programmed using a tracker to get within a metre of the target then let off a ring of shrapnel, which will enter the aircraft at various points.
"這種導彈帶有一個追蹤器，它能在距目標一米之內(nèi)釋放環(huán)形的彈片，在機身上擊穿無數(shù)個孔。"

'The shrapnel will have hit the wings, the engines and the fuel tanks, igniting the fuel.
“彈片擊中機翼、引擎和油箱，點燃了燃料?！?/div>

'A large aircraft like that is highly pressurised to allow humans to breathe at that altitude so it will have exploded instantly.
“大型飛機通常處于高壓狀態(tài)，以使乘客能在高空呼吸，也因此它在短時間內(nèi)就會爆炸?！?/div>

'Almost nobody on board would have known what was happening. If not instantly, they will have been unconscious within split seconds.'
