There’s a purported video on twitter. It’s dark and you can’t even tell it’s a plane, but something in the air is on fire as it falls towards the ground. It explodes on impact. 
 

and there it is.

Plane was on fire. Guy had his camera out. Something went down to cause that guy to start filming. 

such as seeing a fireball moving across the sky?

 

uncontrolled fan blade failure?  think there are problems for that with the 800s

That could probably do it. How audible would something like that be from distance?

I know this is beside the point but I really hate that news outlets distribute stuff that's unconfirmed. Especially in situations like this. And I understand why they feel they have to (sometimes) but it just muddies everything up. Anyway. I'm going to go read the dog thread now and try not to think about all this.

No. Don't start that nonsense.

NTSB didn't think it was nonsense and neither did boeing when it committed to redesigning the cowling. 

or do you mean speculation as to the cause of this particular incident?  this is the internet, sir.  it's what we do here.

People blamed bush for Katrina. Not the response, but the actual storm.  People act stupidly. 

Especially Pat Robertson and what he blamed for Katrina...

Joker, I want you to get straight up to Phu Bai.   Captain January will need all his people.

Uncontained engine failures on 737s usually don't render the aircraft completely uncontrollable.

Iranian AAA Commander: I wish that was an American plane. We have all these missiles, think of the glorious victory if we could just fire one.

Freaked out newb AAA soldier: One fired, Sir!

Iranian AAA Commander: Damn it.
