New Video Claiming To Show The Moment When The Ukrainian Plane Was Shot Down
The crash of a Ukrainian jetliner that killed 176 people in Iran touched off mourning Wednesday in both Ukraine and Canada — where many of the victims were from or were headed — and raised a host of questions about what went wrong. But U.S. intelligence officials said there was no immediate evidence it was shot down. Yesterday Iran refused to turn over the black box from the downed plane. Reports said that it seemed like the airliner was shot down on Wednesday local time by a missile fired by mistake by Iranian forces, which shortly before the crash had launched missile attacks on bases in Iraq that house U.S. and coalition forces.
The reports came as President Donald Trump said he does not believe mechanical failure caused the crash.
Now a new video came out and it seems President Trump was right once again.
A new, unconfirmed video claiming to show the moment when a Ukrainian Plane was shot down:

In Iran, the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) – designated as a “terrorist organization” by the U.S. State Department – has such TOR M1 units at its disposal.(Image from a parade in Iran back in September 2013) pic.twitter.com/P8Sdb5Ug9g

I’m no expert. Here are my two cents:-Could this have been an accident? Possibly.
-If it was deliberate, Iran could have sought to shoot down PS752 in order to divert global media attention away from its missile attack targeting military sites in Iraq.
What do you think?

This video is also circulating, claiming to be a closed-circuit camera filming the PS752’s crash at 6:19 am local time (Iran).

There could be a lot of reasons for this, it’s possible that they were hoping the missile attacks would bring US strike aircraft into the zone so they shot the airliner down hoping to blame it on the US. Except there was no US aircraft in the vicinity. That’s why they are hiding the black box.
