There are a lot of possibilities that are as likely or more likely than a coordinated terrorist attack successfully downing two jets in Russia.

Why do you think it's so implausible? After all, a coordinated terrorist attack successfully downed FOUR jets here just under three years ago.

What he is saying is that other things could have been the cause and to conclude terrorism is the cause (like people here tend to do with every plane crash) with absolutely no information available is just not a smart thing to do.

"Why do you think it's so implausible?"

I don't find it implausible - just not a certainty. The two planes in question took off from the same airport. Someone mentioned that this could be a case of sabotage. Another person mentioned it could simply be gross incompetence by the ground crew. I'm sure there are plenty of other things it could be as well. It could very well be a coordinated terrorist attack, but that's not the only possibility; as some would suggest.
