In all due respect we in the demolition business call those "kick outs". IMO ,based on 26 years in Explosive Ordnance Disposal, the bombing of the site had munitions..... thus secondary explosions that "kicked out" SAM's and other munitions into the close by civilian areas and did the damage you speak of.

Most SAM's have a timed self destruct to preclude falling back on those that launched it properly. The amount of flash in the picture suggest something that had a rocket motor attached and was severly damaged and came from inside the bombed site.

Stay Safe !

My two cents says that we dropped some bombs or cruise missiles on some Republican Guard positions and started some fires.

This set off some secondary explosions of missiles or rockets or tank rounds.

That is what we are seeing come back to earth in these pictures.

But this does definitely rule out our weapons as the cause.

I dont buy that. The snakey trail from way behind the coalition strike point is not a kick out...Besides...I think ou would see trace plumes and trails from several more Kick outs...

With all due respect to your experience I think your wrong.

I think its SAM's fired blindly at coalitions forces and cruise missiles that just fell back into the city...
