2nd try. Appears to have exploded before impact. See fireball near center section? Not hard to miss.
Appears to explode BEFORE impact. Look! Big fireball from center of A/C.
I have to disagree... I downloaded the video and after analyzing very carefully I have concluded the following:
1.) at 4:21 seconds the strobe flashes (A/C has not touched the ground)
2.) at 5:02 seconds the nose impacts the ground
3.) at 5:11 seconds the tail comes into view and appears to be in tact
4.) at 5:15 seconds the plane center section explodes (fuel tank assuming)
Looking at it inside of a video editor I would say that this was not an edited video. Note on the times, 4:21 is 4 seconds and 21 frames (or individual pictures) There are exactly 29.97 frames per second, so you can all that happened in roughly 1.017 seconds.
I pulled 4 images into still frames that you can view at:

I am impressed. Good job.
About a second before impact, one of the exterior strobe lights on the plane flashes. All "big" aircraft have those. Smaller explosion on impact followed by fuel going up. Just one guys opinion, but I respectfully disagree that it explodes before impact.
Same video from Russia Today... http://rt.com/news/kazan-plane-crash-video-882/
Looks like the plane came in nearly at a nearly 90 angle....
Don't like to speculate (especially since the problem had been fixed by the time the 737-500's were being manufactured) but rudder deflection?
