Well MSNBC just said that there were no distress calls made from the plane. So who is correct? Fox, MSNBC?

My opinion, given the limited facts available - and realizing the dubious, conflicting nature of these "facts" - is that this was terrorism, and that the plane was destroyed by some sort of explosion, either a bomb or a missile. Typically, when a plane explodes for some reason, the pilots don't get a chance to call home and say goodbye. :) Let's see if they ever find an intact body, or if they continue to simply find arms and legs.

This incident strikes me as being quite similar to flight 587, or (except for the altitude difference) flight 800. And, given the all-too-quick denial that this might have had anything to do with terrorism, it also reminds me of the northeast blackout. "Nothing to see here folks, move along now."

Yeah sure... Ok.

MSNBC also noted the interesting fact that Tony Blair was going to that exact Egyptian city for a vacation. A message, perhaps? Regardless, I find it rather bizarre that Blair would choose to vacation in a Middle Eastern country. Aren't there a bit more safer places on the planet to vacation? They did say he did the same thing a year ago, so this is a return trip for him and his family.

Get over it - don't you remember the vertical stabilizer that was fished out of the lake?

It's pretty apparent it was a 'materials failure' (fatigue, design failure, etc) on that Airbus.

I'm beginning to beleive all you neophytes believe everything in the world is built of Legos, Erector Sets and Tinkertoys!

Welcome to your world as envisioned, designed and built by Mr. Rogers!

WHY don't you/they find a *pilot* who was in the area also busy w/aircraft ops and on the same tower/control frequency and ask THEM what they heard ...

Conspiracy, conspiracy - who has the conspiracy ... pick a shell - any shell ...
