Maybe Not Nefarious

Many analysts are jumping to the conclusion that some deliberate human act knocked the Malaysian flight from the sky, but before evidence is gathered, it is too early to assume a terror event. Could some sort of bomb detonation felled the aircraft? Certainly- could a ground to air missile have brought the plane down? With the prevalence of these weapons in the Syria conflict and thousands of missiles not accounted for in Libya, a missile threat from jihad-inspired terrorists exists, but where would malicious actors have fired such a missile from in the middle of an ocean? Did some terror group form their own covert navy? What if a bird strike occurred as happened in the famous "Sully" Sullenberger ditching that everyone on board miraculously survived? Only when debris including the so-called black boxes are recovered will the definitive source of the tragedy be revealed.
