CNN commentator says at that altitude it had to be air-to-air missile.

Shades of KAL-007.

The Russians blew Gary Powers out of the sky at 75,000 feet in 1960, with a surface to air missile. I call BS.

CNN guy is wrong...airliner was at 33,000 feet, well within the capabilities of an SA-11, which is operated by pro-Moscow rebels; the Russian military and Ukrainian armed forces. Interestingly, TASS is claiming the crash site is 35 miles from Russia’s border with Ukraine, but a Reuters reporter who made it to the scene says the plane went down only 25 miles from the border—easily within the range of an SA-11.
