MH17: Satellite image of plane being shot down on Russian TV was photoshopped
- 9 years ago
On July 17, Malaysia Airlines flight 17 was destroyed by a missile over the skies of Ukraine, near the city of Donetsk. It’s a mystery as to what exactly happened, but the popular explanation is that a Russian-backed separatist group may have accidentally shot it down with a surface-to-air missile.
In a counterargument, Russia’s state-owned Channel One broadcasted this image, reportedly from NATO satellites conveniently parked over the area and said MH17 was brought down by a Ukrainian warplane. But now, the internet is crying foul because the image has been determined to be a photoshopped forgery.
Wrong logo placement, ripped satellite images from Google Earth and other sources, and the placement was about 40 miles west of where it was supposed to be. And that’s just the start of all the foolishness with this image.
The news has dogged Russian president Vladimir Putin’s appearance at the G20 summit in Brisbane, Australia, after Western leaders pressured him for a solution to the Ukraine crisis and threatened greater sanctions.
