A new video reveals that two missiles struck Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752, which crashed shortly after take-off from Tehran, Iran early on January 8.
The video appears to be taken from a security camera on the roof of a building near where the plane was struck. The video, which was originally uploaded to YouTube by an Iranian user early Tuesday morning was verified as authentic by a New York Times investigations team.
The video shows the plane being struck by the first missile, which appeared to result in a small explosion, followed by the second missile strike about 20 seconds later. Neither missile immediately downed the plane, which continued to fly for several minutes and attempted to return to the airport. The new video shows the plane appear to be on fire shortly after being hit by the second missile. A video that emerged last week showed the impact from one of the missiles. All 176 people on the plane, a Boeing 737-800 bound for Kyiv, Ukraine, were killed.
The new video can help explain why the plane's transponder stopped transmitting before the crash, suggesting that it was disabled by the first missile. The crash came hours after Iran fired a barrage of missiles at a military base in Iraq housing US forces. Iranian officials initially denied that it shot down the plane before reversing and confirming that it fired the missiles, blaming human error as the military was on high alert in case of retaliatory strikes.
Iranian officials have said that the plane wandered too close to a military site, but an analysis of transponder data from previous flights to Kyiv, and other flights the morning of January 8, shows that PS752 did not deviate from its normal route or vary significantly from other civil flights that day.

I’ve been thinking this right along.
Frankly I think there was someone on that plane that Russia wanted dead. Russia is the country always fighting with Ukraine.
First, the missiles were fired some fifteen minutes after the barrage was launched against the Iraqi barracks. Why so long? Second, what was any airline doing launching planes when a missile attack was going on below? We don’t even let planes fly during snow storms.
Something we don’s know about this action. It will soon come out.
Watch it, see it with your own eyes. It is absolutely indisputable in this video and you will verify it yourself.
Absolutely no mistake or argument against this video...

Maybe a couple of chatty ex-Burisma employees were on it?

There is a suggestion that some of the 82 Iranians and Canadian Iranians were identified as being of questionable loyalty to the Mullahs.
“the missiles were fired some fifteen minutes after the barrage was launched against the Iraqi barracks. Why so long?”
Because it could easily take 15 minutes to launch a counter-attack. Airplane right on cue. Occam’s Razor.
I suspect a map would show arrangement of original barrage-target airport, this missile launcher, and airliner path & timing would make the plane look like it was coming from near the originally targeted area. Worth investigating (moreso than conspiracies involving an assassination target coinciding with a military assault which might start WWIII).
It WS the Ukraine... maybe it was Hunter Biden’s associate
So, too, the passengers on the Ukranian plane....

I’m betting they had some type of simple auto-launch doctrine enabled.
Well, from the vantage point of the missile launcher, the plane might have looked like it was coming roughly from the direction of the attacked airbase. Worth checking, just to understand.
(No, this does not remotely implicate Trump.)
Worth noting.
And worth checking if anything interesting happened on 2019-10-17; if not, more likely the date just wasn’t set correctly on a boring security video system. Until such info is important (like this), few would care about such details in routine use of what is presumably old tech (lacking auto-setting clock, battery backup for clock commonly dead, etc).
This is SOP. Two SAMs. Truth is, against civilian airliners, one will do.
wonder why the NYT investigators who verified the video didn’t catch that?
This is terrible.
My only thought is how did the guy taking the video KNOW to take the video?
Has CrowdStrike offered an opinion?
