I believe that it was shot down. Right after it happened, CNN had a news story on their website that described two debris fields. One at the crash site and one two miles away. This story was then removed from the website a few hours later and nothing was ever mentioned about the second debris field again.
I also believe that the passangers were trying to regain control of the plan, it's just that the gov't could not take a chance on the passangers failing and the plane reaching it's target.
