The passengers were all from France, which recently banned headscarves in schools, and is the object of huge protests in Moslem cities.And at least four 737s have crashed, unexpectedly, due to rudder failure.
That is at least as plausible an explanation as accusations of terrorism.

French anti-terrorism authorities in Paris said they did not expect to open an investigation, since the crash appears to be an accident.---
Looks like they are jumping to conclusions before the facts are in. That's okay, apparently, if one says, "nothing to see here just move along." Just don't think it *might* be terrorism, and you're alright.
Is that "jumping to confusion"?

Do we know any more about the dudes found in the wheel wells of the plane?? It sure says "someone has access to these planes that shouldn't have".

Only that they're dead. I agree, they got access to the jets, and how, in the name of security did that happen?
Excellent observation.

What about a homicide bomber hidden in the wheel well? It is plausible. Not saying nor implying this happened with this downed aircraft.

Me too! He was speaking off the cuff and very fast, (in light of the horror of the day) almost with panic in his voice. And did you notice, Peter Jennings just sat there and didn't address it- never brought it up again.

Next we'll be hearing it was an "old engine," no... "wind shear," no... "bird strike," no... How about cheese? A moose, maybe?It was probably the same as that out-of-control food cart that rolled down the ailse to the back of Flight 587 and destroyed the tailfin!

I guess this one didn't get crushed during take off, and found a way to pull his cord to his bomb.

Well, anything's possible, but I prefer the most likely theory, which is a foreign charter airline that's not in spec with Boeing's mandated repairs on the 737's rudder.

99% of all conspiracy theories are illegitimate, as this one will also turn out to be.OK, Arlen........ but what about that funky moon landing? ;)

You're the one running around with his hair on fire around here, as a Rivero follower is wont to do.

Fox just reported that the pilot tried to turn back after noticing some malfunction. And the French are demanding a manslaughter inquiry into the disaster.

Whoops... my bad. That was, of course, our vaunted NTSB setting up to cover up 9/11 while a coverup might still have been possible.

<< It was Air China's first crash in nearly 50 years. >>
In nearly 50 days maybe.
CAAC/"Air China" has one of the world's worst accident records having suffered more than a dozen recent major "total hull loss" accidents and contributing hugely to making chinese air travel more than eight times more dangerous that the world's average.

Welcome to speculation central!Yes, speculation! That's how folks stir up thought, questions and examination. Who was speculating years and years ago that the earth was round and not flat?
By the way, that's a great screen name.

I agree with you, sink. I mention the two instances of a guy in the wheel well, to illustrate a breach in security. One was a Trans-Atlantic flight.

Given that the French tolerated banning air conditioners in a deathly hot Paris this year for the sake of artistic archtectural integrity, Thousands and thousands of elderly died due to the heat. Therefor, mon ami, I think they just won't care. A plane crash in Eygpt, that's not ala mode, no j'nais sais kwa.

But hey, maybe it was the phantom "heavy fog."People who immediately want to disregard terrorism and call all speculation "conspiracy thought" are serving no purpose toward truth and eventual knowledge. It goes on so much.
I swear, all the years I've lurked here, I have noticed the same number of folks that seem almost to react to a bell in their house, go to the computer and the thread, and start calling people "conspiracy nuts". It's not cool or helpful. This "terrorism age" is serious business, and I find possible coverups repulsive.
