Silly (addressing someone else): Why do you take advantage of people's tragic deaths to drag out conspiracy theories?

Some do it given their technical backgrounds coupled with their propensity for pomposity and still others do it for the true, although misguided belief that an omni-potent government directed by the world's powerful banks are the instigation to tragedies like this.

The truth is that accidents of this nature occur for the very same reasons that accidents occurr everyday in our own backyards and on our very own city streets and highways - man build things that will occasionally, through a combination of factors, accidently kill people.

As a technical investigator myself I used to be entranced when reading the accounts of pilots of small and large planes alike who *lived* through harrowing circumstances where their aircraft failed or was subjected to forces that pushed it beyond it's design limits - and they, through a combination of shear luck and instinct through years of flying were able to 'recover' or otherwise make it back to terra firma in one piece ...

Little do these tin foil types realize just how slim those margins are between catastrophe and a normnal flight - when it comes to the combination of the physics of nature and the passage of time as those factors work against against the materials used (for an application) and the duality in man of ingenuity and fallibility as he crafts devices/machines that push the frontiers of his knowledge and the performance envelope all at the same time ...

Jimmy,

How many government officials must be lying for your conspiracy theory of the magical-destructive cargo bay door to be true?
