There is NO evidence that a bomb blew up that plane.

Correct. Appreciate your attempts at sanity on this thread.

It seems as if many folks want the crash to be the result of a terrorist.
I don't have much trust in government either but this instant analysis and final conclusions based on limited information is pointless. Too many know-it-alls who don't know much but like to think they do. Yes siree, can't fool those folks. They KNOW.

I'll hold judgement until we see more information and if the government witholds too much information or gets all coy about responding to questions and showing proof of simple mechanical failure then I'll get on the 'terrorists did it' bandwagon. It's a little too early for that at this point.

Don't be so hard on the people whio are hoping for terrorists to be responsible for this. That, in it's own way, is less hard to take than the idea that a plane can just--ooops--fall out of the sky. OBL's guys would also be earier to take than a domestic airline that was screwing and/or killing its own customers by skimping on maintenance or and/or buying cheapie spare parts.

Personally, I'm with the folks who are hoping that the other guys did it.

And I also am aware than anything human-made is intrinsically imperfect and could fail at any time, but I'm hoping that's not the cause, either.
