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.

“Um, the video was uploaded June 6”
Do you mind not clouding the issue with facts? It’s so annoying.
Could be the ‘other’ Malaysia plane being used as target practice?
I just went to Drudge and the previous links and found this, which I had not seen before
This was not MH17 —
The aircraft in this video is NOT a Boeing 777. Therefore it is not a video of MH17.
i.e. fraud or mistake.
LOL
Or perhaps both
From the BBC link
As it happened: Reaction to MH17 Malaysia Airlines plane crash in Ukraine

Why do you all keep posting the same video over and over when it is not of MH17. Townhall as usual got duped.
The plane was hit by the missile and broken apart by the missile explosion; leaving some large pieces to fall ... and those that included some of the fuel, exploded on impact.
The debris field is quite large, covering up to 9 kilometers in total diam. (said some estimates).
No worries.
Then why is that debris was strewn over an area of 9 square miles? Isn’t that a rather large area?
I thought that one had ran out of fuel by now.
What about the link from BBC in the article? Did you click on it and read it< The date is from July 17
The June 6th Youtube link is here. A link to two other videos of the June 6th shootdown are here
I’ve seen it, and I have read it. There is no need to show me
