What is it that fuels that speculation, if you know?


They were showing pics of one of the wings on the news this morning, and it had holes in it consistent with an impact of some type...other than with the ground.

Also, I saw amateur Iranian video on twitter yesterday that almost assures it was brought down my a missile. Video showed the flare of the missile's exhaust going up....then there was a mid-air explosion...followed by a flaming object falling toward the ground...followed by an explosion when the object hit the ground.

maybe somebody else was sending Iran a message to stand down?
