Isn’t that the one where one of the pilots deliberately made the plane nosedive yelling “Allahu Akhbar”, while the other pilot kept telling him to “pull up” to stabilize the plane — which was never classified as terrorism, despite the clear evidence.

For me, that was a turning point. After that, I know longer trusted anything the government said, without it being verified.
