MH17 Missile Can't Hide From These Internet Sleuths
- thegrif 12y agoThere was a ton of work being done on Twitter after mh17 from citizens on the ground in Ukraine. I was working with one gentleman on investigation of a portion of crash-site footage that includes what appears to be the tail of a rocket or missile. The video is still online here: http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2014/07/17/first-hand-account-of-mh17-crash-site-bodies-are-scattered/ http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2014/07/17/first-hand-account-o... It is shown a handful of times, but the first instance is around 1:08. It doesn't fit the scale of a missile fired from a Buk. The conclusion I made based on this and other evidence was that the footage was not genuine. For example: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BtA5Hh5CcAAN28-.jpg:large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BtA5Hh5CcAAN28-.jpg:large On the left is a still from the video above. On the right is a still from a supposed crash in Ukraine days earlier. All of that said, it's impossible to believe anything without being on the ground yourself... I'm @thegrif on Twitter - you can see the back and forth by filtering posts that include #mh17.
