The question back then was "isn't terrorism even worse if we're not sure what is and is not terrorism"? It's the uncertainty about the inherent safety of things that'll bring us to our knees.
I bring this up because it's the not knowing that's even worse than is having an enemy to blame.
No one had their Cell Phone on?? (There’s always someone...)
No one did any last minute texts??
“Back when that TWA flight went down in Long Island Sound, it was still in the days when the gov didn’t want to worry us about the possibility that it was terrorism by one of those very nice Eygptian pilots.”
Isn’t that the one where one of the pilots deliberately made the plane nosedive yelling “Allahu Akhbar”, while the other pilot kept telling him to “pull up” to stabilize the plane — which was never classified as terrorism, despite the clear evidence. It was also premeditated, I recall the suicidal terrorist pilot sent presents to his kids via another pilot on another airplane, he knew he wasn’t going home himself.
I thought that was labeled 'workplace violence', too... /s
