I remember on tv the night it happened, a couple interviewed on the beach saw a trail of fire go up. There may have been more witnesses like that, but I only remember the one couple and think probably all footage of that and others was destroyed or hidden away.
I remember clearly a little boy being interviewed. He stated he saw like a bright light shooting upward from a hillside. He turned to his mother to tell her “Mom! Look someone is shooting fireworks”. I immediately knew and felt this planed was downed and I would not be surprised if it was by some Ragheads.

I recall seeing a photo of a smokle plume /trail going up to the plane . As I recall , it was taken by a pilot of a plane flying in the vicinity who by happenstance ,had a camera in the cockpit .
There was no doubt about it as a plume /trail ; but unable to determine whether it was a trail going up , ..or down .
Mind you , that was a few years ago , but I am a visual type of person (but can’t seem to remember names for crap ).
