I know that a missile isn't supposed to penetrate its target, but is supposed to explode in close proximity. But I saw what I saw.

If it was a test against a drone it could have been a dummy warhead. Which would mean the missile did a direct hit through the body of the plane and caused a catastrophic structural collapse, probably broke it in half. The article says there wasn't a fireball until it feel to 7500 feet. What a nightmare.

Still, I just cannot conceive of the US Navy conducting a live missile test in such a crowded air space.
