Now that is a reasonable suggestion.
But as I said, this same news coverage pattern occurred when Flight 587 went down in New York. Blair was there and there is so much more, but my bet is on terrorism, and the French and Egyptians will most likely not admit it for fear of losing tourist $$$$'s.
We'll see, or maybe we won't see. Do you have conclusions on Flight 800, by the way?
"There are facilities in the White House, not the normal situation room, which everyone has seen in the past, has seen pictures of. There is a second situation room, behind the primary situation room, which has video conferencing capabilities. The director of the Pentagon, the defense chief, can speak from a national military command center at the Pentagon. The Secretary of State can speak from the State Department, the President from wherever he is, and they'll have this capability for video conferencing throughout this crisis." "In my time at the White House it was used in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, in the aftermath of the TWA Flight 800 bombing, and that would be the way they would stay in contact through the afternoon."
I don't have a strong opinion on it. I suspect it was either as the NTSB says it was, or it was shot down by terrorists. I am somewhat doubtful that it was shot down by the Navy and covered up afterwards. That would involve deception on the part of hundreds of people in different parts of the government at multiple levels. I don't think such a deception could last very long. Someone's conscience would get the best of them.
