Al-Jazerra said it exploded while landing. Glad to know I can trust US News reports when they get their facts together before putting it out to us.

Al Jazerra probably wanted it to have exploded, wishful thinking on their part. I wouldn't trust anything from them anyway, they're no better than Pravda was in the bad old Soviet days.
