Indications/photos on the ground are that the plane came apart at altitude, with a strewn crash site. Leads to a mid-air explosion, so possibilities include surface to air missile, not a shoulder to air, which top out at 14,000 feet.

Some of the more modern manpads can get a lot higher than 14k feet. Like IGLA-S. But I don't think they are effective over 30k feet.

Thanks for the pic. When one of those missiles is fired, what would it look like from a few miles away? A stream of smoke? Something else? Surely someone has video of the missile as it was fired/on its way from the ground to the plane (assuming a missile is what caused this)?
23 Americans reportedly on the manifest.

You're kidding, right? You seriously think that most events are captured on video?
IF the folks firing the missile wanted to record it then of course it would be recorded. Otherwise, the chances are pretty remote that some random person would just happen to be in the right place at the right time and whip out his/her video recorder just because...
Of course there's a video of the missile (assuming a missile was involved). It will surface at some point.

Wake up folks! This is 9/11 all over again. Our "innocent" government is setting us up for another big war effort to keep those war dollars flowing to their buddies. What are a few hundred lives when there are Billions to be made?
And you folks are being led around like sheeple. Some things never change.
This is the perfect time for Obama to raise gas prices.
^
Yeah, and steer a hurricane into the continental US.
If this was shot down. What will Obama do? 23 Americans on board. How do you react to that?
Do we forgive them? Do we attack them?
I am actually serious. What do we do if it turns out that this was intentional?
He'll wag his finger at them.
It wouldn't have been that surprising if the first one had been shot down as well.
Thank God I have have been treated for thyroid deficiency and an eating disorder! Good luck in the World War III draft, gentlemen. I'm sure future President Ted Cruz or Rick Perry will take care of you.

I like your handle name :)
Eery picture of the plane before it left Amsterdam. Maybe this is a prank picture, but it comes from the Telegraph in London.
Not to be rude, but what's so eerie about it?

As someone mentioned above, the U.S. has accidentally done this before too, and with almost similar results. An overaggressive commander of a US navy ship shot down Iranian flight #655 with 290 civilians on board in 1988.
I've watched several cable stations covering this, and they mention the Russians doing this to that Korean Airliner, but no mention of the U.S. ever doing the same thing.
