MANPADs and Stingers can't reach that altitude of 33K FROM THE GROUND.

From an ultralight or mounted on a Piper Cub? Maybe.

Also, some of the data indicates it was still climbing to it's cruise altitude, not yet at 33,000 ft.

I wouldn't totally rule out a MANPAD just yet.

The altitude graph of the plane crashing showed that the "ground" was at 10,000 feet. The crash site has been described as a "mountainous area".
