Everything about that site screams nose down nerely vertical crash at speed.
If the U.S. would have shot that plane down with lets say a heatseeker to one of the jet engines, we would have seen debris from the explosion, and the plane probably wouldn't have gone in in such a contained manner as the pilots would have probably tried to nose up the plane on instinct.
