@evanchill @john_marquee @babimarcolini @tiefenthaler @gianfiorella We previously estimated that the plane flew for 21-28 seconds between transponder going off and what we now know is the second strike (map below). This video fills that gap, and shows that two missiles hit around 23 seconds apart, the first most likely disabling transponder
@evanchill @john_marquee @babimarcolini @tiefenthaler @gianfiorella The new video also explains why car alarms are already flashing in the earlier CCTV footage (below). We now know this shows the second strike. The person who filmed another video also told us he heard a loud noise before he started filming.
@evanchill @john_marquee @babimarcolini @tiefenthaler @gianfiorella Here's our video investigation into those disastrous seven minutes... we'll come back and update the part where the transponder goes off...

Timings of launch & impacts (in new video). This means first missile was fired while plane was climbing fast (unlike an incoming cruise missile) and around the time it turned.
Launch 1 - 00;00;01;17
Impact 1 - 00;00;19;22
Launch 2 - 00;00;32;04
Impact 2 - 00;00;43;15
Someone asked a good q about the date on the security footage. I believe it's Persian calendar. Date of crash is Jan 8th Gregorian, translates to 18th day of 10th month in Persian (2019-10-18). Security clock is likely out by a day (2019-10-17).
