Hey, you can't depend on eyewitnesses, y'know.

Eyewitness testimony discarded!

Fox now saying that both crashed. Witnesses saw an explosion before one crashed. Update at the top of the hour.

This is NOT fuel contamination. A/C experiencing fuel contamination would glide down from cruising altitude. Tehy would have plenty of time (>12 minutes) to make radio calls, find closest airport, etc., set the radar transponder to the emergency 7700 code, etc.

An aircraft at cruise speed/altitude losing all engine power can glide to anywhere within a 150 mile diameter circle. Plenty of places to land. Plenty of time to talk to air route traffic control centers, etc.

Air Canada lost all engines on a 767. Put it down on a drag strip. No problems.

Witnesses always see an explosion before every plane crash.

Shepard Smith just reported that witnesses saw explosions in the air before the planes crashed!!!

Obviously a simultaneous fuel-line problem. < /sarcasm >

9/9/01 was the assassination of Ahmed Shah Massood, followed shortly thereafter by the events of 9/11. A seemingly unrelated act that was actually the first phase of an offensive.

Until we know more, I'll be a little on edge.

This could be a practice run or a go signal.....

Fox News says both crashed at the same time 100's of miles apart. Sounds like terrorism.

But, were it bad enough fuel to take down two, we'd probably be wondering about the number three, four, etc.
