The fact that he didn't is evidence supporting the conclusion that it wasn't a missile that brought the airplane down but instead a terrorist bomb of some sort.

Smokeblowers annoy me.

Have you ever been pilot in command of an airplane? Have you ever been withheld a clearance that you requested until you cleared a plane you could see with your own eyes? (You stare at it. You don't look down at the ocean.)

I guess this pilot was just stupid and wound up agreeing with me that there was a good chance that a missile or missiles were involved but he might not have seen them.

And then there are the hundreds of eyewitnesses who did see a missile or missiles.

Terrorist bomb, my @$$ !
