Thanks for the links, Tiger. Yeah, Phoenix TV should usually know what they're talking about.

I'm just a bit suspicious because pics "uploaded on the internet by a witness" have often been false in the past, and everyone tends to just run with them, making it more complicated to find out what actually happened in these types of incidents.

I thought it was curious early on in this story when Yonhap quoted an intel source saying it was a helicopter. Some time afterwards I saw an AP report claiming to quote locals saying it was a helicopter too.

AP's earlier report from 3 hours ago:

A man who lives in Ersonggou village, about 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the crash site, said about 100 police have cordoned off the area.

The man, who would give only his surname Ning, told The Associated Press he heard from other locals that the craft was a helicopter that had flown from North Korea and that the pilot was killed on impact.

Ning said no buildings were hit and no one on the ground was reported injured.

According to latest update by Yonhap News, a radar at MCRC (Master Control & Reporting Center) in S. Korea detected the plane in question taking off from Shinuiju airbase on Aug. 17(the crash occurred around 3pm on Aug. 17,) and it was identified as MIG-21.
