According to Komsomolskaya Pravda, which posted the video to YouTube to yesterday, the video was filmed mere minutes after impact.

The footage shows thick black plumes of smoke rising as witnesses rush to get a close, yet safe look at the crash. Around the one-minute mark, the camera man gets close enough to capture burning pieces of the plane.
