You are throwing a lot of spaghetti against the wall, hoping something will hit. You ignore the most glaring fact of all, planes crash, charter planes crash more often, charter planes in poor countries crash even more often. Whenever there is a crash, there are all kinds of conflicting news, usually because journalists covering crashes know very little about airplanes and tend to fill in the data or repeat anything they hear.

You are desperately hunting for a conspiracy, and I think you are unhappy that there appears not to be one...

When have I ever accused anyone of a "conspiracy?" I don't recall ANY poster using that word to try to convince peop;e this is probably terrorism. In fact, I have previously pointed out that successful terror and sobotage attacks are routinely covered up, and have been in conflicts throughout history.

The word is TERRORISM, not "conspiracy." It is an undeniable fact air travel is under severe threat of terrorism right now. Al Quaida is not a "conspiracy theory" they are solidly in the terrorism business.

And there is plenty to tip the odds in favor of TERRORISM in this case, including strong evidence that the Egyptian authorities engaged in crude knee-jerk attempts at coverup.

The fact is, this could be nothing at all. It could just be your basic plane crash.

Or it might not be.

Given the lack of accurate facts, and facts of dubious veracity, we are ONLY left to ponder.

My pondering over the available "facts" as reported has led me to speculate the following (note the preponderance of the word "perhaps"):

Perhaps a hijacking took place on the plane - or perhaps the crew was already infiltrated - with the intent of crashing said plane into the Blair vacation residence. As soon as the plane deviated from its filed flight plan (the reports have the plane attempting to turn and return to Egypt, I will remind you), perhaps it was tagged by British security forces, which were CERTAINLY watching over Blair and family the whole time he was in Egypt (no need to speculate upon that fact at all). I do not know if this would even be possible, but... PERHAPS the Brits were authorized by the Egyptian government to INTERCEPT and DESTROY the rogue plane over water before it could reach the resort.

I wonder if there were any cell phone calls made from the plane. Any reports of a "Let's Roll" being uttered, perhaps? :-)

Oh I know the response I will get for such wild speculating. The thing is, I fully admit this IS just wild speculation. So much "spaghetti on the wall", as CS put it. And from a Monday Morning Armchair Quarterback to boot. Touchdown!! :-)
