Reader David sent an email and accompanying video that purportedly shows the Malaysian Flight 17 being hit by missile. Let's take a look.

It appears as if the right engine and wing area took the hit. The camera operator is able to record the moment of impact in the first 2 seconds of this clip. Note the smoke burst left behind on impact with the #2 engine area. There is a 18 second delay (speed of sound delay) due to the distance and altitude of the explosion. Question: How did this video operator know to have his camera running just prior to the missile explosion? How many people run their camera in the sky looking for an airplane cruising at altitude so high that most are not visible to the human eye? Note that the pilots are maintaining wings level, the airplane and burning wing still intact, in what appears to be an uncontrolled descent from 33,000 feet when the video ends at 1 minute 19 seconds.

I would have thought that the explosion would have done more that just ignite an engine/wing.

Um, the video was uploaded June 6.........

[bigbob]

This has been debunked previously, it is NOT MH17.

The American RT propaganda team to the rescue! /s

Video of Malaysian Flight 17 being hit by missile.

Uhhh, maybe you can explain how that video was uploaded on June 6 ?

[Kaslin]

The plane exploded when it hit the ground, not when it was hit by the missile

[Kaslin]

obviously Mish and reader David missed that

Maybe it really was hit on June 6th. Who knows anymore? Egads, the crazy multiplies. LOL

[camle]

the spin emerges....tin foil anyone?

[Kaslin]

Are you trying to say that the airplane as not hit by a missile?

[deadrock]

The missile is designed to explode 65ft from target. There was an explosion in the sky as well.

[camle]

straw man? don’t be rediculous

[Kaslin]

I thought you were talking about the plane exploding. My mistake

[JimRed]

The plane exploded when it hit the ground, not when it was hit by the missile

Then why is there a miles long debris field? And bodies dropping from the sky?

OK, I guess it broke up in the air, but part of it exploded upon ground contact? The reports are confusing at best.

That may be a video of the Ukrainian transport the rebels claim to have shot down a while ago.
