Are you a pilot? I have read what has been posted on the thread by people who know. I appreciate the insights.

I don’t think anyone knows for sure what brought the plane down yet. I had heard on the news (not that the news is always informed, but at least it’s the news) that there were people wondering if it could have been a bomb. They made the point that planes aren’t usually brought down by storms.

Plane lossses over the ocean are extremely rare.

There was supposedly a terrorist plan to blow some planes up while they were in the air.

There was speculation in the media, there was some speculation on the thread. It’s only natural and doesn’t hurt a soul.

In fact, the article posted contains THIS sentence:

“Experts were at a loss to explain fatal damage to a modern jetliner from either lightning or turbulence, even that of a tropical storm.”

You responded to the original poster, who is a very nice person, with THIS gem:

“Yeah. And the terrorist just thought to wait until they flew through severe turbulence to camouflage his actions. Or do you think it was someone in a dingy in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with a missile that could reach 35,000 feet?

Some people have no clue.”

That was sweet of you, wasn’t it? You failed to consider what some people can speculate with free minds. That maybe there was a bomb on board.


But don’t worry. I don’t have any more to say on the thread. I appreciate the knowledgeable comments, but you have been nothing but RUDE from the beginning. And you might be an “enlightened expert”, but you have still been rude from the beginning. And I haven’t seen any evidence that you are any more informed than anyone else here.

People are just commenting on the article that was posted, but maybe go make yourself a cardboard badge that says “Board Police” or something productive...

I think I implied as much in post #21 on this thread which was addressed to you. FTR, I'm inactive now and I've only flown single engine planes. I do have an instrument rating.
