Actually, there's way more evidence that there was a bomb than not (little things like people hearing an explosion and pieces like the wing and engine falling off and landing away from the main crash site).

You need to look up the thread on the GE CF-6. Catastrophic engine failure can destroy the engine, the shroud, and blades can rip into the wings and fuselage. The CF-6 has been failing on an irregular basis for ten years.

"People hearing" don't mean anything when fuel explodes, no matter what the cause.

As walsh says, why would a terrorist blow up a plane destined for one of the poorest countries in the world?

From that, I take it you are predicting the FAA will be grounding all planes with the CF-6 real soon now. Correct?
