In light of our terror alert status, recently cancelled flights, flights searched after landing, folks hitching rides in wheelwells, and al Qaeda threatening terror via planes, it seems one must, at least, consider terrorism as a cause in this crash.

It would be a far *wiser* move to get the relevant facts in hand *before* postulating a pet 'theory' too ...

But how can they know? Ruling out terrorism within moments of the crash seems to prematurely, yet completely, remove the 'theory' from the investigation.
