The black boxes for the downed Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 have been found, a Ukraine rebel leader said Sunday.

Alexander Borodai said that the devices would be handed over to the International Civil Aviation Organization.

The announcement came as international investigators and Ukrainian officials said that pro-Russia separatists forced emergency services to surrender the bodies of 196 victims of the plane crash and loaded them onto refrigerated trains bound for a rebel-held city.

Borodai said the bodies would remain in refrigerated containers at a train station in the town of Torez until the arrival of an international aviation delegation.

The surprising, rapid-fire developments Sunday morning came after a wave of international outrage over how the bodies of plane crash victims were being handled and amid fears that the armed rebels who control the territory where the plane came down could be tampering with the evidence.

I'm waiting for somebody to produce evidence that this was all orchestrated by the Israelis to deflect attention from the murder of women and children in Gaza.

I'm betting on "Happy Accident".

I didn't think there were any "accidents" in the conspiracy world.

If the boxes they found were black they were the wrong boxes. The recorders are housed in cylindrical housings which are painted bright orange.

Edward Snowden might be available for some work along those lines.
