| CRASH: The footage shows the downed plane lying in pits of fire [YOUTUBE] |
SHOCKING new footage has emerged showing the instant devastation caused when flight MH17 crashed into a Ukrainian field.
The Malaysia Airlines plane was shot down with 298 people on board last July.
A short muffled video – titled 'It's raining bodies' – shows a shocked couple drive past the smoke-filled scene moments
after the crash.
Bodies are seen scattered on the road as small fires surround the area.
The traumatised woman, who is heard violently crying, asks the man: "What is this all at all? Plane? Helicopter? People!
Oh f***! Oh f***!".
To which the man then replies: "There are other remains over there. F***! So many people!"
The woman then insists on leaving the death-hit scene and the vehicle drives off.
“What is this all at all? Plane? Helicopter? People! ”

The video has emerged one year on after the tragedy.
It is the latest reminder of the tragic incident for families on
board the Boeing 777 as authorities begin to escort them to
the site where their loved ones were lost.
"We, of course, are ready to provide all possible assistance for relatives who want to come to honour the memory of the loved ones who died," said Alexander Kofman, foreign minister of Donetsk People's Republic.
"There is no particular difficulty in obtaining documents, but
we will assist anyway."
Many family members have refused to visit the site near the
Ukrainian city of Donetsk.
And others are still awaiting compensation payouts from the
airline.
An investigation by the Dutch Safety Board is taking place
with the final report due in October.
