That's confirmation I've been waiting for a long time. Don't know how reliable the source is, but the terrorism involved with that crash seemed about as obvious as the double Russian crashes the other day.
The first thing I would like to know is if this guy was even on the plane. Unfortunately, the article is unclear on that point.
silly canadians... move along, nothing to see here...

A big hole in the 9/11 report. Along with absolving the Saudi government, but mentioning as an aside that Saudi charties close to the govt. could have been involved.

I don't know about the rest of you folks but such a confident, NOT, statement coming from the governmental body charged with invetigating this event puts any rumors of sabotage to rest in my mind.

All those witnesses who saw flames erupting from the fuselage were mistaken or crazy, just like the TWA Flight 800 eyewitnesses.
Here is the google search for this guy, I dont have time to go through it but it might be interesting if he is "the spokes hole" for other mysterious "accidents"

This can't be. I am in shock here. I guess the next report will state that Flight 800 was shot out of the sky.
Where is my cheese?
... "There has been no evidence found, from what I can tell -- at least that's been relayed to us --"
Covering your @$$ I see.
Imagine the irony of getting on a plane to die for Allah, but before you get the chance, the plane goes down on its own because of mechanical failures!!!!!
You don't get to die for Allah. You don't get any credit. And worst of all, you don't get any of the 72 virgins!
Major bummer!!
From the description of events taken from the black box, it doesn't sound consistant with a bomb.
Accident Sequence
The NTSB calculated that the time between flight 587’s liftoff from Runway 31L until impact with the ground was 103 seconds. The flight data recorder (FDR) recorded data for about 93 seconds after liftoff and the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) continued to record information until at or about the time of the plane’s impact with the ground.
Based on radar data, flight 587 took off approximately 105 seconds behind a Japan Airlines 747. The FDR indicates that flight 587 encountered two wake vortices generated by JAL flight 47. The second wake encounter occurs about 8 seconds before the end of the FDR data. For the first few seconds after the second wake encounter, the aircraft responded to flight control inputs. Both wake encounters averaged about 0.1 G lateral (side to side) movement. During the last 8 seconds of FDR data, the plane experienced three stronger lateral movements, two to the right of 0.3 and 0.4 Gs, and then one to the left of 0.3 Gs. These lateral forces corresponded in time with rudder movements. The NTSB continues to investigate the cause of the rudder movements.
The FDR’s rudder data becomes unreliable about 2.5 seconds before the end of the recording, and sound spectrum analysis shows that engine sounds can be heard on the cockpit voice recorder beyond that point.
The rudder and tail fin were found first in the wreckage path, followed by the engines and then by the main wreckage impact point at the intersection of Newport and 131st Street, Belle Haven, New York.
What a goofy and poorly written article.
I have no doubt that al Qaeda was involved, but this poorly written article will not help.
This is not an attack on you, but an observation of the writer of the article.
Interesting site by someone who lived in Queens:

Thyey seems to have pretty reasoned thouths as to why it was not an accident.
As soon as Richard Reid was arrested I said on FR right away...this was what took this flight down.
Fascinating.
Also see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/778902/posts --it has some fascinating posts. Note in particular the opinions of "RandyRep", who states he is a recently retired aerodynamicist. His posts hold water, IMHO. There are also links to videos of the doomed flight (by a construction crew and by tool-booth cameras), the transcript of the cockpit crew's utterances, and the NTSB's animated reconstruction of the flight's final moments. I hope most of these links are still live.
The evidence is substantial that the design of the composite tail is fundamentally flawed... which was my own early suspicion, having some early career exposure to post-mortem of composite aerospace parts. The hesitation in release of NTSA conclusions might also relate to the sensitivity of calling the airworthiness of Airbus' design into question at this time of severe economic stress on the airline industry.
On the other hand--and more pertinent to today's disclosure--the "outies" visible in http://www.ntsb.gov/Events/2001/AA587/tailcomp.htm ("Center and aft attachment points (left side)" in particular) have yet to be explained to my satisfaction and have been fingered by some as evidence of an explosion in the cabin.
As a frequent flyer, it has proven impossible to avoid Airbuses. I remain uncomfortable on them and prefer Boeing, thankyouverymuch. I do not like the Airbus tail design which lacks an internal vertical spar to bear the side-loads and attach to the airframe. And, fundamentally, tails shouldn't fall off of planes.
1. TWA Flight 800
2. Egypt Air Flight 990 (the one that was -- or wasn't -- a suicide mission by the pilot or co-pilot)
3. That SwissAir flight that crashed off the coast of Newfoundland
4. American Airlines Flight 587
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".
