I am not saying this is a fake, however, sometimes looking at the tape is not enough. Means, motive and opportunity: We should be looking into how the story came to light and whether those behind the story had anything to gain from the story. 15 minutes of fame is enough, however, did any news outlet pay for the story? We don't know who else was on the plane and whether they packed a few rocks. Anatomy of a hoax: Every hoax has to convince one person known as an expert (TM). Once you have an expert convinced then there is no need to convince anyone in the media, they will report what the story is and assume it is true because the expert says it is true. This story has an expert, he may want to believe the story is true and see what he wants to see.
