This article is about the mystery of who shot down the Malaysia Airlines Flight that killed everyone that was on board. This article does a good job in writing about the incident and what they have found in the investigation. However, by incorporating the video into the article showing us what we do not know about the downing of Malaya Airlines Flight 17, the video helps us get a better picture and actually understand what happened. The video makes the incident more real and the article more tragic because one is able to see firsthand what occurred.
