It was a Crappy French Made Plane that the tail fell off of.

The tail AND BOTH ENGINES fell off.

They fell off for the same reason: The plane was flying sideways, out of control.

The reason it was flying sideways, out of control, is that a bomb disrupted the controls.

You are correct. All investigations of this crash clearly indicate the problem was with the connection point between the vertical stabilizer and the fuselage.

Welcome noob. Or are you a returning banned/discredited airline shill?

Ping for later.
Doubt this will get much play, even if true. Fact is the powers that be have a vested interest in ignoring "isolated incidences".

Thanks for the link.

I don't fly anymore because

1) I despise subecting myself to the minimum-IQ airport gestapo

2) The NTSB/FBI/ETC. lies

You know, until the most recent Nichols trial, I never really thought about a deeper plot or cover up much, but the news reported some pretty bizarre things that didn't always connect for me. Of course having said that, I do know that getting it from the local OKC TV & radio news stations and papers is different than being in the court room.

I think it will if it makes it to the NYC local newscast. The families may want to reopen the investigation in light of this new revelation.

I was at a hotel the mornig AA 587 went down watching Fox News, I saw a guy wearing an "FBI" jacket walk up to the engine laying in the gas station parking lot and take something from the engine, put it in his pocket and walk away.

The next time the same video was run (approx 5 mins) You could see him walk up and look at the engine and walk away...

No bending down or picking up anything, just a walk by.

I said to Myself-COVER UP!!!

The thing that struck me was, not so much that the story changed, but the finality of the change.

Like someone threw a switch and everything these people were saying, which I had heard with my own ears, disappeared.

I'm not a conspiracy buff, but reporters don't usually act this way, unless they're covering up for a Democrat. Just ask Kobe Bryant.

The loss of the vertical stabilizer would cause the aircraft to Yaw - fly sideways.

Engine mounts are not designed for a 200 - 300 mph side load at takeoff thrust.

I'm sorry, they just aren't. The tail wasn't even designed to withstand exaggerated pilot rudder inputs.

If it was at cruise altitude and throttles were way back and the tail came off, they might have hung on longer.

"Where is Jdey?" indeed. The Fibbies issued an alert for him in 2002 & there was a reported sighting of him in 2004. Does the 'Religion of Peace' allow for reincarnation in the event that 72 virgins tucker a feller out?

He's got those "nobody's home" eyes that the 9-11 hijackers had. I swear those people are demon possessed. IF you ever see one of them on a plane, kill them immediately or kiss your butt good bye. :-) In all seriousness, those guys are pure evil.

You are missing the reason the tail fell off. The engines fell off because you can't fly an engine cowling sideways. The engines are stuck on pretty good. Frogbus engines are NOT designed to come off in case of a gear-up "landing." And that carbon fiber tail is pretty tough too.

SO unless you have TWO good reasons for large surfaces to come off, you have to conclude the ONE good reason: they don't like to fly sideways, is the ONE reason large surfaces came off the plane.

This is actually common in air crashes where the plane is out of control: loss of control, followed by "unusal attitude," followed by large surfaces coming apart. Google up "unusal attitude" and see for yourself.
