30,000ft is way too high for any shoulder-held ground to air missile. If this plane was taken down on purpose, and assuming that no technologically-advanced nation is responsible for air-to-air missiles or lasers or the like, it must be sabotage on the ground. The black boxes were recovered along with wreckage and the bodies. It will not be long before the cause is pieced together. It would be a relief to discover that this tragedy was simply the result of bad maintenance or a defective part. Not much consolation to the victims or their loved ones, but for the rest of us.
