The federal government is on record as saying the crash was "an accident" -- "some sort of engine failure" -- long before they had the voice recorder or the flight data recorder (black box, which as of this writing they claim not to have yet recovered) in their possession -- curious and suspicious to a very high degree as it's highly unscientific and unprofessional.

This is an out and out lie. An untruth. A statement as fact of something that isn't. Not only was the government not on record as "saying the crash was an accident" yesterday, they aren't today. What they are on record with, and if you're paying any attention you should know this, is "nothing has been ruled in and nothing has been ruled out." They've said that there is currently no evidence for terrorism. They have not said that it wasn't terrorism. There's a significant difference.

And yesterday wasn't Veterans' Day. That was Sunday, which was, coincidentally, two months, to the day, after the 9/11 attacks. Surely it would have been much more symbolic to crash another plane on 11/11, Veterans' Day, than on 11/12, the day after Veterans' Day.

As to this - "Reports from multiple pilots...say they have NEVER known of mere engine failure to make engines and tail fins fly off of airplanes", it doesn't take much research to come up with this - "Engine and pylon separated from aircraft during takeoff. Loss of hydraulics to slats. Aircraft rolled and crashed. Highest single plane death toll in U.S. aviation history. Maintenance-induced damage to the pylon. " - 5/25/79, O'Hare, American Airlines FLIGHT: 191.

Hmm...that sounds suspiciously like what happened yesterday. I bet that Chicago incident was terrorists, too, preparing...

Close, but no cigar. Flt#191's engine did race ahead of the wing, then go up and over and behind it. HOWEVER, it did NOT go back, knock off the stabilizer, then turn 180 degrees and crash next to the rest of the debris field. Which seems to be what is being proposed. The flt191 engine ended up back ON THE RUNWAY, while the plane (at rotation when separatin occured) continued to rise, roll, then crash on the otherside of a highway.
