Neither was Charles Bishop/Bishra's suicide flight into a bank despite what his suicide note said. The authorities have lied to us in the past and denied any terrorist intent even when they knew otherwise.

I'm trying to figure out what makes a person WANT to think everything is a terror plot and will not believe otherwise.

On the contrary, I don't think they have ever LIED or tried to cover up a terrorist event. What they have done is made an important distinction between a delusional suicidal loner wannabe and an actionable conspiracy by an organized group with an identity and a political mission. That's not a lie. It makes a difference. It makes a difference in how a government should respond to it.

That's all.

Not everything, but in this case we are talking about the catastrophic failure of one of the main US Interstate bridges within a Metropolitan area. That has to be one of the top infrastructure targets within the area. Terrorism or sabotage should be high on the investigators list of possible causes.

You mean like the jihadi in L.A. who went and shot up the El Al ticket counter at the airport?

Oh, right. I forgot. They did admit that it was indeed terrorism. After steadfastly denying it for about a year.
