If the government thinks it was terrorists, would they make up wake turbulence? Aren't they taking a chance that it happens again, blowing their credibility?

To keep the masses calm and flying. An act of nature vs. an act of terrorism.

I think it was terrorists....and I think they think it was too. I just think they don't have many plausible expanations to choose from. Like the lame TWA-800 center fuel tank explosion...the wake turbulance explanation is just the best they could come up with. The point is, they had to come up with something. The airline industry has been hit hard, and another blow before the holidays would be devastating. As for it happening again, I think they are desperately hoping that it doesn't. I think they are willing to take this calculated risk. My problem is that I have seen our government lie to us all of my life. They are like the boy that cried wolf. Maybe all of these incidents aren't lies, coverups, or conspiracies.....but at this point in our history I would bet real money that more often than not....they are.
