Investigators begin gaining access to crash site in Ukraine

KIEV, Ukraine — International investigators and emergency workers began gaining access Monday to the site in eastern Ukraine where Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crashed last week as pro-Russian separatists holding the area turned over the plane’s flight recorders to Malaysian officials.

The signs of compromise came as nearly all 298 bodies from the disaster began making their way by train out of the war zone to the government-controlled city of Kharkiv.
