[quote:switchback 1:MV8yOTk3MTA4XzUzMTE1NzIzXzY0N0MwNzA=] And you believe this NBC report? Hmmm... I smell something. This is an ongoing investigation, why would all the information be disclosed to the public? Even if its eliminating a cause, it can't really be eliminated yet.. None of this report makes sense to me.

While many have speculated that a missile may have struck a Russian commercial airliner that went down over Egypt's Sinai peninsula, U.S. officials are now saying satellite imagery doesn't back up that theory.
A senior defense official told NBC News late Monday that an American infrared satellite detected a heat flash at the same time and in the same vicinity over the Sinai where the Russian passenger plane crashed.
According to the official, U.S. intelligence analysts believe it could have been some kind of explosion on the aircraft itself, either a fuel tank or a bomb, but that there's no indication that a surface-to-air missile brought the plane down.
