Malaysian Airliner Downed by SAM

A couple days ago, while I was hosting visiting family, Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine.

It was quickly determined that the plane was downed by a Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM).

The questions, at the time of this posting, are:  What weapons could have brought down MH17 and why, still have yet to be answered.

The finger-pointing consensus is the missile was fired by Ukrainian separatists.  Separatists backed by Russia.
