"missle?"

Either a missle or an on board detonation by the cabin....a suicide bomber with a small amount of C-4 could avoid metal detection, rush the cockpit area and detonate....

This would cause enough damage to destroy the cockpit and/or incapacitate the pilots at the critical moment of approach....(the new reinforced doors are not bomb proof)

C-4 is undetectable by metal scanners and a small basting cap would slip through also.....Batteries could be used from a carry-on radio, cell phone etc.

Whatever happened had to happen fast because none of the passengers or crew would tolerate any shenanigans......

Sounds like mechanical failure to me, and this will be the end of American Airlines. If this is the best their mechanics can do, they deserve to be shut down.

NBC reporting the plane is an Airbus, not a 767.
