there is ample evidence that a missile of some sort detonated in the air very close to the plane and brought it down.

No, there's not. This would have left visible evidence in the parts of the plane. The parts were fully recovered and nothing like this was found.

In contrast the parts of the Malaysian plane shot down in Ukraine do show evidence of a missile attack.

For those that don't know, Jack Cashill and James Sanders wrote a very good book on all this: First Strike
