Well, some people on this forum seem think every airliner crash is caused either terrorism or it is shot down by the U.S. military.

BBC update:

An Egyptian charter plane with about 141 passengers and crew has crashed after disappearing from radar screens, according to airport officials.
The plane, belonging to Flash Air, is reported to have crashed into the Red Sea, killing everyone on board.

It is believed most of the passengers were French tourists.

The aircraft took off early on Saturday morning from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Cairo airport officials said.



The Egyptian news agency Mena said the plane disappeared minutes after taking off.

Other reports quoted aviation officials as saying wreckage had been spotted in the sea.

Aviation officials in Cairo said the crash was probably an accident.

A UK Government spokesman told the BBC that the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was safe and well. He has been on a family holiday in the Sharm -el -Sheikh area since before Christmas.

This is true. Then we have them go down over LI losing engines and tail sections yet the government doesn't ground them for inspections.
