I looked at the Liveleak video and have seen some pictures in foreign media.
I can understand that in a fire, clothes will be burned off, but I don’t understand how the clothes are off on some people here and the body isn’t burned. Also, some people have some clothes on, but not the whole outfit.
Also, at 30,000’, would people pass out once the fuselage is breached or is there air at that level? I can only hope that people were unconscious when they hit the ground.
The concussion itself will strip victims. In World War I, people were blown out of the trenches and partially stripped. Old photos show that.
The real question is whether the operators were aiming at a known civilian jet. That and why a jetliner was flying over an active war zone. The route should have been changed well before now
Bodies from exploding aircraft at cruising speed typically come down naked because they hit 500+ mph winds upon exiting the plane and clothes are instantly ripped off
If a body remained strapped in a seat it probably kept most of its clothes on. Remember the plane would have been doint 500+ MPH when it started coming apart. But the plane parts would have slowed to about terminal velocity, 125 MPH, well before they hit the ground. But even at 125 MPH your clothes aren’t going to stay on for long. And if a body hits the air at 500 MPH even all the skin isn’t going to stay on for long. Motorcyclists with good running bikes can confirm the above for you.
Literally dumb luck as to if the seam rips under the stresses of the wind when falling or impact, and if fire reaches the body or not. Has a little to do with how well the clothing is made, a lot more to do with simple chance and how the forces are applied.
Not a very satisfying answer I realize, but...
