What is your basis for saying it’s probably terrorism? Based on absolutely zero evidence? Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. But providing an opinion that it is based on no evidence at all is foolish.
“But providing an opinion that it is based on no evidence at all is foolish.”
... well, that is why it is called an opinion vs. a belief or conviction or even an informed opinion. Opinions are like noses, everyone has one... well except Michael Jackson.
People here love to immediately jump to Moslem terrorism, or also Obama or Putin diversionary tactics. All they do is make us look as ridiculous as the Leftists and their conspiracies, most notably the “could not possibly be Moslem but evil Americans” 9/11 truther garbage.
My guess is generally some major accident. Weather, or failure, I don’t know. I already wrote my opinions. This wasn’t out in the open as Moslems like, so I can’t believe it’s Moslem terrorism. I could be wrong, but I don’t yet see the earmarks. I also don’t believe Obama would do these level of things, and to pick some podunk airline across the world for it is ludicrous.
It’ called an opinion bigdaddy...which I believe I plainly stated.
The basis for that “opinion,” bigdaddy, is reports that the aircraft’s transponder, while still communicating, indicated that the aircraft dropped precipitously, over a 600 ft., in a few seconds, and veered sharply off course. Then...went dead completely, before any voice communications could be heard.
I watched them talk about this on Fox News late last night.
Having been involved earlier in my career with aircraft design at Vought Aeronautics, and knowing about the 777’s excellent redundancy, safety record, and design...and also knowing that mid flight at 35,000 feet is far and away statistically the safest part of the flight (ie no landing or take-off stresses, no flocks of geese that high, etc.), it is clear to me that there was a catastrophic failure of the aircraft which happened so fast that the crew was unable to transmit any warning or indication of it. Which is what that transponder report also indicated.
So, that failure was either induced from something other than the aircraft (ie. explosion, gross pilot error, etc) or induced as a result of the aircraft itself failing.
Since this aircraft had so few hours on it, and since the 777 has been designed and built the way it has with an excellent safety record...I arrived at my “opinion,” bigdaddy, that it was most likely an external cause.
And, if that is the case, again, in my “opinion,” bigdaddy, the most likely cause would be terrorism in this day and age.
So, that is how I arrived at my OPINION...bigdaddy.
You can have whatever opinion you wish, or none if it suits you.
Whatever the various opinions, I readily admit that we will all wait for a final determination. Capiche?
Have a great day.
