Hard to blame the airframe if it really was a SAM....

  It just shows how reliable is 777

    I guess people misunderstand my comment - I am not saying 777 (or any other plane) can withstand the SAM. It's remarkable that in almost 20 years in operations all over the world, only a very small number of planes have been lost.

      I apologize for the downvotes your comment received then. (Not from me) I think many people, myself included, wrongly assumed you were insulting the quality of the 777, not complimenting it.

        Thanks for the note. I guess the numbers are so obvious for me that I didn't expect others to react so differently.

    Which commercial airliners can withstand missile attacks?

    Other than the unsolved MH370 crash, I don't think the B777 has ever had a fatal crash that wasn't pilot error (Asiana crash at SFO). It's probably the safest passenger aircraft ever built.
