    Awful and sad. It looks like it just fell from the sky. I guess there's some small consolation in knowing that the passengers must have passed in a split second.

    The date of that video is either Jan 2 or Feb 1 of this year -- any idea how we'd just now be seeing/hearing about it?

    The camera owner hadn't set the date. (Weakest link is always a human)

    Obviously no comfort to the victims' families, but it's better that this did not involve a plane full of passengers.

    Yeah, I'll go ahead and just advise that you DO NOT EVER visit that documentingreality.com site. Some things can't be unwatched.
