On 17 July 2014 , Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down over Ukraine . Because it , like Flight 370 , was also a Boeing 777 , some conspiracy theorists have suggested that the plane that crashed in Ukraine was actually Flight 370 . This is based in part on photographs of the crash scene , which conspiracy theorists claim show that the plane that crashed in Ukraine had structural differences from MH17 . Experts have dismissed this theory and argued that it is merely coincidental that both planes involved belonged to the same airline
