Malaysia Airlines Flight 17

Clear and warm at dawn, near 66°F, the fields around Hrabove open under an empty sky. The sun climbed into a sky that stayed empty, the air feeling like 86° by early afternoon and a stiff breeze across the wheat. It stayed open through the hour the plane came down and the long light after. No rain. At 6pm the cloud closed over all at once, and the night cooled slowly toward 73° under it.
