Just basing my guess on recent history.

How many plane crashes have been caused by mechanical failures?

How many plane crashes have been caused by rabid Islamic lunatics?

If this plane crash REALLY was caused by a mechanical failure that wasn't Islamic-induced, it would be a TINY EXCEPTION to a VASTLY SUPERIOR RULE.

I think you meant that the other way around. A VASTLY superior number of recent (let's say from 2000 onward) plane crashes were caused by something other than terrorism in any form.

Well the first place I'd bother looking is the NTSB's website. But in 2000 alone, there were at least 12 reported by the NTSB. I bet those were actually terrorist actions we just didn't know about huh?

Really? How many of these 'Islamic-induced' crashes are there? I realize the three in 2001 but I just don't know about the dozens upon dozens that aren't a 'tiny exception to a vastly superior rule'. You know, I bet a few years ago some Islamic group put a piece of tire out on the runway for the Concorde to run into too huh? That's just like them 'sneaky Islamics'....And the plane in Toronto? Slid off the runway? I bet the Islamics went out there and pulled oil on the runway to make the airliner skid off...

Really, some of you need to quit looking for 'Islamics' behind every door. Airplane accidents happen. Some years it's bad, some it's better. But the first thing I think about when a plane crashes is not how the 'rabid Islamic lunatics' could be behind it
