It is possible but seems pretty unlikely, anything to back that up?

The current story is that Iran had turned on their anti-aircraft batteries once tensions got high but either didn't factor in commercial aviation or misidentified it as an enemy bomber.  Radar and some recovery efforts have even identified the type of anti-aircraft battery system that was used.

Video also shows it was hit by a missile.  I won't link to it but it's viewable online.

Aw damn, thanks.  Been at work and hadn't heard this yet.  It just didn't make sense for them to knowingly down that plane.
