Of course some people think Valujet 592 was a terrorist bomb and they probably think every single plane crash in history was a terrorist act.

IMO, the Valujet crash was one of the most disturbing in recent history (I don't think it was caused by a bomb), in that it disappeared in the swamp. The recovery operation had to be horrific.

Valujet was bad. A plane impacting in a nose down attitude at over 500 miles per hour doesn't leave a lot of intact pieces. The divers that had to recover the body parts and aircraft remains worked in absolutely hellish conditions. Not only was it hot & humid, dirty, and the smell was nauseating, but alligators were a constant threat. Armed guards had to stand by all around the crash site with high powered rifles just to keep the gators away.
