"... I will believe that a mechanical malfunction was the cause for the loss of 255 + innocent lives."

What is your proof? Did you design the engine?

[Steven W.]

it could well be mechanical failure due to sabotage or any number of other possibilities. One thing I don't buy is that the government is going / wishing to cover this up. Remember, as things stand, you have the DemocRATs already trying to undercut Bush and destroy the economy and the Europeans and other countries losing interest here just 2 months post 9/11. To the contrary, what you'll find in those conspiracy circles, given some time, will be that the US & Israelies organized this & sabotaged the plane their/our selves to try and regain support. It only makes sense that we'll learn the real truth in these regards because it's in everyone's best interest to do so.

There is what is called the s**t happens theory. Other Freepers have mentioned this today.

It is entirely possible that a catastrophic failure occured in the engine and/or structure.

For anyone to state that it MUST have been sabotage, terrorists, our own fighters, etc., is a bit irresponsible - don't you think?
