I would have to imagine a missile would leave a highly visible contrail that would have been seen by thousands. An ABM is doubtful.

It would also be visible to the satellites that witnessed the explosion. Any act of terrorism would have to be an inside job, via sabotage of a timed explosive of some type. There is no way it was a missle, and it was most likely mechanical failure of some kind, not terrorism.

I agree it wasn't a missile...or if it was it would have been detectable...but is the press right in saying that no SAM/ABM system such as the SA-12b GIANT listed above, was capable of doing so ?
