How many new 737's drop down from the sky in a fireball with pieces falling away? All of this without pilot reporting any issues. Things to consider: 1. Iran launched an attack on US bases, their AA forces were on alert 2. Flight was delayed for over an hour, this could potentially appear as an unknown aircraft to an on edge AA crew (if they are operating the missiles each day, they know the routine flights) 3. 737s don't fall out from the sky in a fireball 4. Iran immediately reported that it crashed down due to "technical difficulties". I'd expect them to claim that US shot it down if they didn't know better. 5. Pilot didn't report a thing 6. Transponder data suddenly cut off. 7. Plane was climbing and could have appeared suddenly to AA positioned behind a ridge/mountain (from what I gather, Tehran is surrounded by mountains). In my opinion, it's almost certainly an explosion on the plane. It may be a bomb (unlikely in my opinion) or a missile. Given the heated nature of the situation it's much more likely to be human error on the missile battery than it is to be an unrelated explosion of an 737 while climbing out of Tehran.
