How about a link to the article if you are going to post this kind of news, nothing about it on the Reuters website.

If 200 people had seen the Ukranian missile, the spinners would have had to go to plan C, the exploding center fuel tank scenario.

I followed your source link to Reuters and it says nothing of the sort. Why don't you try actually posting the text of the articles you claim to be quoting?

This may more closely resemble the USS Vincennes incident than TWA 800 ... just a thought.

Many Soviet SA-N missiles can not only reach but destroy a plane at that altitude.

A Russian plane which crashed into the Black Sea may have been downed by a stray missile.

Early reports had suggested the mid-air explosion was the work of terrorists but it now appears to have been caused by a missile from a training exercise.

The three-engine TU 154 belonging to Siberia Airlines - with 76 people, including 51 Israelis on board - left Israel's Ben Gurion airport on Thursday morning and was heading for the Siberian city of Novosibirsk when it came down.

Russian President Vladamir Putin said he believed terrorists were behind the incident but new reports suggest the aircraft might in fact have been accidentally hit by a surface-to-air missile fired during a Ukrainian military training exercise.

The Pentagon has confirmed there may have been a launch of such a missile from the Crimea that might have brought down the plane, the official.
