The 777 came apart in the air when the SA-17 hit most likely near the wing root of the fuselage for one of the wings. Pictures of debris miles from the main impact site show a section of roof cabin lying in the street, vertical stabilizer lying in a field, half of horizontal stabilizer lying in a field with some structure, the main debris filed with only one engine and only one main landing gear.

One wing came off, the tail came off, and a lot of aerodynamic forces ripped open the cabin and a lot of people simply fell out of the sky. Hopefully most blacked out at altitude after missile impact and depressurization and never knew what hit them. SA-17 warhead ripped the plane apart.

also who did the shot down

Well... if you really want to know...

Looks like top rebel Igor Girkin (Streklov) posted on social media about shooting down "another AH-26" today, along with video footage of the takedown. Whoops.
