Thanks for the eye witness post.
Sounds like a hit to me.
Lets see if the gov. spills it, or just makes us "feel better" with a nice little engine malfunction story.

Those are my thoughts.

You know, there's as aspect of this story that is almost so absurd that it sounds like something from "Dr. Strangelove" or something.

We've got all these media and Establishment types falling all over themselves to make 9 billion cases for mechanical failure rather than terrorist attack and what they are saying is:

The US air fleet is SO d*mn old and SO d*mn shoddily maintained and SO d*mn badly designed to begin with that it's REASONABLE to think that an engine could just "routinely" fall off or blow up taking the control hydrolics with it...

[sighs]

Why is THAT message supposed to be more comforting than the terrorist message?
