Blast in video of purported shootdown of Nigerian military plane is fake
[CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...

... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
was faked, according to a CNN analysis.

Conflicting reports had emerged in Nigeria over the video of a downed plane, after the country's air force disputed claims from Boko Haram that its holy warriors shot down a jet.

Boko Haram released a seven-minute video Friday, showing the Nigerian Alpha jet flying above its fighters. Then there is a mid-air explosion.

When analyzed closely, however, the earth-shattering kaboom includes a thin smoke trail immediately above the plane -- at odds with its trajectory. The smoke trail and the shape and color of the fireball are identical to a mid-air explosion of a helicopter over the Syrian city of Ma'arrat al-Nu'man, near Idlib, in 2012.
