Blogging Freek has discovered that the popular video is actually ancient and originates from Russia, not Nepal. The article has been amended to reflect the fact that the disputed video does not, in fact, depict the Sunday jet accident in Nepal.
In the widely shared footage, the plane was seen flying slowly and twisting in midair just before it crashed.
