While terrorism may still be an option, wind shear and subsequent inflight breakup due to T-storm aerodynamic forces could bring down a jet as fast as any terrorist.

terrorism ... wind shear

Terrorism isn't a possibility, period.

As for wind shear, I refer you to a prior post of mine. Also wind shear and turbulence are very different. Wind shear primarily affect the the forward speed of the plane. Turbulence primarily affects its vertical speed.
