[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3312920, member: 7900"] I'm certainly not an expert on missiles and their effects, but I watched something last night where they explained that the SAM's are designed to explode when in the proximity of its target, which sends shrapnel throughout the target. It seems to me that such an event, especially with two missiles, that the first punctured fuel tanks and the second ignited the fuel. That might explain the fiery descent, and then when the plane hit the ground and the tanks were ruptured, they would have then created the fireball on the ground. Would I be wrong in my speculations?
