very tragic event, but I see some issues with the vid
1) The sky is totally clear, and other video of the crash shows overcast skies. Heck if the skies were totally clear, they (the missile crew) could have seen with binoculars that it was a passenger jet, and might not have shot it.
2) Debris (and bodies) are known to be scattered over a wide area, suggesting it broke up at high altitude. In this vid, the fuselage is intact, and even the right wing is still attached.
3) This vid shows a hit on the engine, like from a heat seeking missile. The SAM in question I believe is a radar guided missile(?), and would have hit the biggest target, the fuselage - which would agree with a total breakup at altitude.
So I'm not buying the vid.
