New Video Shows Ukrainian Plane Struck By Two Iranian Missiles by Nobody: 9:01am On Jan 15, 2020
Security camera footage shows two missiles being fired 30 seconds apart causing the plane to crash killing 176 people.

A new video has surfaced showing the moment two missiles hit a Ukrainian enger plane over Iran's capital, Tehran, killing all 176 engers and crew on board.

The New York Times said it had verified the security camera footage, which showed two missiles being fired 30 seconds apart, neither of which brought the plane down immediately.

In the video, the aircraft is seen flying for several minutes, on fire, before crashing to the ground and exploding.

The newspaper said the first strike disabled the plane's transponder before it was hit by the second missile.

For days, Tehran repeatedly denied reports that the Boeing 737-800 plane had been shot down.

An earlier video released on Friday also showed that the plane was hit by a missile was also published.

The video, first reported by the New York Times newspaper and CNN, is consistent with statements made by Canadian, US and UK officials, who said intelligence indicated that an Iranian missile brought down the plane, a conclusion initially dismissed by Iran.

Then on Saturday, Revolutionary Guards aerospace commander Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh acknowledged a missile operator had mistaken the plane for a cruise missile and opened fire.

The second blurry footage shows the plane on fire and circling back to Tehran's airport, the Times said. Minutes later, it exploded and crashed.

The footage was shot from a rooftop in Bidkaneh, a village four miles from an Iranian military site, the Times said.

Angry protesters, most of them students, have taken to the streets in the wake of the tragedy, chanting slogans against Iran's leaders and demanding ability.

Iran's judiciary on Tuesday announced the first arrests over the accidental shooting, without naming who or how many people had been detained.

Fars news agency has also been quoted as saying that the person who took the first video was also arrested by authorities.

Can you imagine. The kind of trauma the engers had to deal with cry
Flying over the mid east is an extreme sport. No wonder the CEO of PayPal enroute a 'must' journey to acquire an Isreali startup says he nearly had a heart attack when he saw his plane approaching a GPS signs of Iran, Palestine and Isreal - he blurted "I'm entering into a war zone".

Soleimani killed Thousands of his people alive, Tens during funeral and Hundreds after funeral. That dude really sucks anything bloody
The majority of the people that were killed were Iranians and Iranians with Ukraine ports (Dual citizenship). The people who have invested in themselves home and abroad, those who could shape the future of Iran all dead because of a military blunder by their own government.

R.I.P to the departed souls, they've paid ultimate price for peace.
Believe you me, something evil was looming in the corner. Their death averted the looming evil.

At such a tense period, Iran airspace should have been grounded, worse part is the flight took off at night.


I blame Trump and Iran for their death.

Mistake of the decade AWARD goes to IRAN
They conceded 2 own goals all in the REVENGE
1. Dozens killed in burial stampede
2. Downing a plane which took off from your territory


Meanwhile they're giving US more opportunity to show the world why they are right in their strike against IRAN...

All the goodwill gained by Iran over the US attack on Suleiman have been wiped out. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

This is gross level of incompetence from Iran. It is beyond stupidity, on a global scale. How do you shoot down a plane that took off from your own nearby airport under the pretext that it was a hostile aircraft?

It is as if Mr Bean was handling their missile weaponry. Yes that is exactly what they are, Jokers!

Trump will just be sitting down and smiling

That being said, I don't trust that the US did not use some technology interceptory intelligence to befuddle the Iranian defence system

The coincidence is just too co-incidental!

And one of the key rules in warfare/ intelligence they teach is that; "There's no such thing as a coincidence"

Some People said they shut it down, it was dismissed not until there was evidence.

Some also said it was intentional, maybe its also true

176 lives wasted for gunning down a Ukrainian plane. About 36 Iranian lives snuffed out in a stampede during the burial procession of Gen. Sulaimani.


In 1988, the US warship brought down an Iranian airliner destroying about 298 persons onboard the plane for similar mistakes.

If men were God, the world would have been non existent by now.

You are not far from the truth. Of course this is a possibility.
In some decades time, some files will be declassified and you will hear that the CIA probably allowed Iranian Intelligence to intercept a fake CIA message saying, "we are sending a B52 bomber to Tehran in 3 minutes..."
The CIA are masters at that.
I read a declassified CIA report (which was in a book) about what they did to DR Congo and Angola. It was worse than shooting down a plane.
