Yeah, could have been a bomb.

2 people on board an aircraft doesn’t prove it’s a two seater...

why do you jump to conclusions without evidence?...

Dan Gryder on Probable Cause podcast is doing his best to call attention to every GA fatal and give good solid advice on how to avoid becoming dead.

I was watching an online streamer and they showed a tik tok video that showed a part of a plane..

It looked like it survived as well as passports did some time back

Maybe there is a debris field that’ll have pieces that didn’t get burned up at impact, but it sure looked to be in better shape than one would suspect after watching the video/ door cam video..

Wow, that video shows that the plane blew up mid air! Someone should send that to Fox News. They do not know how it crashed. This explosion explains all of the fires on the ground

Trace on Fox News said usually these planes can carry 1100 gallons(Or tons not sure if I heard him right) of fuel, so no wonder you see so much fire

If it was coming from Mexico and going to Missouri, why was it over Philadelphia? (Sorry; I’ve never flown so don’t know these things.)
