Explosion? possibly a missle attack?

The engine could have taken in some birds. Patience.

"Explosion? possibly a missle attack?"

A missile hitting a wing mounted engine would have ignited the fuel tanks in the wing and destroyed the aircraft in the air.
So far, eyewitness accounts say that the plane did not explode in mid-air.
