New York Times: Video Shows Ukrainian Plane Being Hit Over Iran
The New York Times has obtained video of the moment a Ukrainian airliner was hit minutes after takeoff from Tehran.
Video verified by The New York Times appears to show an Iranian missile hitting a plane above Parand, near Tehran’s airport, the area where a Ukrainian airliner stopped transmitting its signal before it crashed on Wednesday.
A small explosion occurred when a missile hit the plane, but the plane did not explode, the video showed. The jet continued flying for several minutes and turned back toward the airport, The Times has determined. The plane flew toward the airport ablaze before it exploded and crashed quickly, other videos verified by The Times showed.
Visual and sonic clues in the footage matched flight path information and satellite imagery of the area near where the plane crashed. The satellite images were taken on Thursday and provided to The Times by Maxar Technologies, a space technology company. This helped to verify the video’s authenticity.
In the video, approximately 10 seconds elapse between the flash of impact with the plane and the sound of the explosion reaching the camera. The sound delay indicates the plane was a little over two miles from the camera at the time of impact. This comports with the path of the flight, as recorded by the flight tracking company FlightRadar24.

If it is proven that the plane was downed by an Iranian missile, then what? What could happen ?
It's up to the whole world and the UN I guess to condemn Iran. SO I guess nothing will happen.
Furthermore I have an creeping suspicion that someone at the airport mistook the Canadian travelers for Americans...
Accidents happen, incompetent weapons officers, inexperience, and a heightened alert combine to produce this tragic result.
The American shooting down of the Iranian airbus was even more ridiculous and inexcusable.
