That is an irresponsible thing to post.
We for sure do not know a, but one can guess at anything. For b, primary causal factor is TBD. C. Maybe, and maybe not, but Where Are You Getting Intentionally From? That, sir (or madam) is utterly Irresponsible.

Dear members of the media who may wander by here, none of that which anchor posted is supported by information, given the lack of same.

Anchor: you are jumping the gun a bit there. I'd recommend dropping the short attention span act and waiting for the first (of many) reports. They'll be arriving in due course. Whether or not your guesses are close, or far, from the actuality will in time be shown.

It is a bad thing if misinformation is spread by an instant, and wrong, answer. That's why fast isn't a good metric unless an early indication prompts the AIIB to issue an alert. Not jumping the gun is the AIIB being responsible, and doing their duty.

Regarding your idea of hitting something on the way in: what evidence are you pointing to that prompted that speculation?
