Russia Today putting out new video that doesn't seem to fit with multiple eye-whitness footage. Odd that. #MH17 https://t.co/fYkNK272za 20:50:07, 2014-07-17
First video I saw of #MH17 showed smoke and debris falling from high altitude. Russian state media footage claims explosion on impact. 20:54:34, 2014-07-17
Obvious conclusion would be Russian state media is trying to cover up for the russian-backed rebels shooting down #MH17. Too obvious tho? 20:56:04, 2014-07-17
