Filmed how

Okay, I know things about cameras, not planes.

I understand that the video circulating seems to be a mobile phone filming a screen that's showing the footage of the plane exploding.

What I'd like to throw into the mix is just how the plane was filmed in the first place?

The perspective seems to be wrong for a plane that is at 33,000 ft filmed from the ground. Not to mention that kind of camera lens would be needed to film an aircraft that close at 6 miles up.

Your average camcorder, even one with even 100x digital zoom wouldn't look like that, nor would a broadcast camera with a real zoom.

If it's genuine, was that footage filmed from something also airborne?..
