I think it's sabotage too. So does Mr. Peach. Of course, he knows it's easier to agree with me than to disagree.

Unitl last night, I thought this was an accident until I learned that this plane had a complete service inspection the night before it crashed. An inside job?

Last night on Nightline, John Nance, former airline pilot and ABC's Aviation Expert, gave the figure as 200 to 220 knots. FWIW

I wish they'd use mph.

Question: Now that the NTSB is saying something you like...why believe them? Shouldn't everything they say be suspect?

Sounds like the tail fell off after takeoff,wonder why?

There were some Brazillian made turbo-props that had their tails fall off a bit too often.

We should know what happened--just go to our spy satellites. After all, we were able to tell the Russians that their plane was shot down by a missile over the Black Sea by the Ukranians within 24 hours of it happening.

Funny no appearance of the Free Republic "All you people with the terror theories are kooks!" patrol yet.

Keep an open mind. This is not fitting together well under any benign theory.

You mean they didn't find a frozen Butterball lodged in the engine??

Actually that's what they use to test engines for bird collissions... turkeys shot into the engine running full blast, quite a sight to see.

It isn't the geese in the air I'd worry about, but the Islamic geese in American's repair and inspection facilities. This looks like an act of Terrorism to me.
