Western Intelligence Agencies See No Signs Ukraine Airliner Was Shot Down: Canadian Source
There are rumours....
1) 2 people checked in luggage that was loaded on the plane, but the passengers did not. aka a bomb on board.
2) Its a Boeing plane and the engines mulfunctioned.
3) It's a Mossad Op.
Someone pointed out, a radar-based weapon like the Tor-M1 would lock on to the fuselage which has the largest radar cross-section, but instead what we saw was an engine fire, making an infrared seeking warhead far more likely.
A smuggled CIA MANPADS is the prime suspect.
It's unlikely the plane would still be controllable after being hit by a 12kg warhead the plane would have shattered and depressurised and yet the footage showed the pilot still had control. A lower 3kg stinger warhead is actually plausible.
This is first video that published about #UkrainianPlaneCrash that published 7:32 local time 8th January. It shows how Right Engine has fired and after crashing to ground was an explosion. If the plane was shot with a missile the explosion should be in the sky not on the ground.
