I think the worst case scenario is that the US Navy shot down the plane. I really doubt that terrorist brought down this plane.
I believe there is virtually zero chance it was the navy, anyone’s navy. What are the chances of hundreds of men on the ship keeping quiet about something like that? Zip. I also know the navy was forbidden from locking guidance radar on civilian aircraft. They could track then, sure. But no missile guidance, period. Without it, no intercept.
Me too...the bright orange projectile I saw looked as though it was coming from the south...maybe south east direction. That would have its origin in the ocean, not on land.
