Resolves "Yes" if the majority of international powers determine that the root cause was deliberate sabotage. Resolves "No" it the majority of international powers indicate no evidence of sabotage. Resolves "N/A" if there's broad disagreement six months after the incident.

It's tricky to pre-determine exactly which powers would need to make which determinations, and there are multiple government agencies per country that can make conflicting reports. Please post any assessments in the comments and I'll do my best to resolve this based on the spread of information available.

Keeping an eye out for the update, so won't resolve yet, but FYI for y'all.

Helicopters don’t need sabotaging in order to crash.

How will this resolve if it is determined that the pilot was distracted by listening to the 1994 Beastie Boys hit "Sabotage"?

@ZacParker Should be no, as this is no evidence of sabotage (English word meaning some actor trying to mess things up) rather than "Sabotage" (Beastie Boys song).
