So, is this a hijacking? Did somebody steal the plane, and perhaps kill all the passengers? For what purpose?

France has been standing up to Iran more then we have of late. This was probably supposed to have the same effect on the EU elections this week as the train bombings in Spain did on their election.
Exactly. First, what terrorist group would choose this flight, with its diverse and overwhelmingly non-US passenger list, and Air France banner? And second, even if one could come up with a plausible answer to that difficult question, then the question of why no claim of responsibility would have to be tackled. Most likely this disaster wasthe result of some combination of weather, automated systems malfunctioning, and human error in responding to those.
If you know the people in charge know the truth, wouldn’t it do plenty of good? If the govt doesn’t change policies, more to follow. The public need not ever know I have assumed this for a while.
