Not a bomb - MANPAD SAM that Hillary and Obama were running out of the Benghazi Consulate.
ISIS posted a video of their shoot down of the airliner, which has been roundly ignored by just about everyone.

No. MANPADS don't have the reach, especially with the aircraft flying away from them. The video was debunked. This theory has been discussed and disproven here on FR with resident military veterans who know these things.
Fairly obvious it was a missile.
It's not been ignored, it was an obvious fake. ISIL (or some affiliated group) may have brought this plane down, but that video wasn't evidence of it.
The Russian aircraft wings are not located near the tail as they are in the ISIS video. That video is either faked or of another incident.
Either way, Putin can’t let this lie.
And I’ll bet Obama&Co were glad the downed airplane not one of ours. ‘Cause people might demand some real action from that quarter .....
That video shows a plane crashing intact, or at least the one I saw does. The plane in question came down in two major portions that ended up pretty far separated on the ground.
Sorry, no MANPAD goes to 31-36000 feet. Igla-S which was the Russian MANPAD taken in quanity from libya only goes to 16K feet.
MANPAD and SAMs are not the same - one is aunched from the shoulder, the other is truck mounted with radar tracking. The Russia Buk system, a SAM, was one such which shot down the plane over the Ukraine.
Sounds like flight 800. Allegedly witnessed by 300 people who were told by the FBI investigators “who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?”
Ha Ha, we must believe in Santa Claus too, the plane was over 30,000 feet in the air.
I saw the alleged video, and there was no smoke trail
Nor was the video shaky enough to convine me they shot a 30000 foot high aircraft
If the video is real, they used a tripod and no smoke showed from the middle, because no missile at that range would be smokeless, needs too much fuel for speed and range
If video real, definitely a bomb
Many clues point to a bomb in the vicinity of the port (left) aft (rear) lavatory.
Exactly! That was the point of nobama running out the “bomb” story so fast, to CYA.
Look for Pooty Putin to let the MANPAD cat out of the bag to further embarrass nobama.
