While I agree that it is silly how every incident is viewed by some as either OBL, anthrax/smallpox/botulism, or a sign of the Apocalypse, speculation that this is terrorism is CERTAINLY reasonable. Can you cite an example of a plane crashing into a skyscraper before 9/11? The odds of a plane, even with engine trouble, crashing into a tall building is astronomical, considering how very, very little of the overall landscape a single building takes up. And then to hit it in the center. The only reasonable explanation I've heard so far is that the pilot was trying to land on a wide street nearby.

Why yes I can...it happened in Canada a few years ago - a hospital - plane had problems with navigation and crashed into the building. It happens. Take the tin hats off and move onto the next story. This was an accident.

Certainly our media bias is to report "accident" over "terrorism" as a cause.

On the radio news today, the reporters were all attempting to spin this as an accident, and used the example of the accutane teen in Tampa as a case of "non terrorism", despite the fact that Mr. Bishop/Beshara had a note in his pocket praising OBL and 9-11.

When facts are inconvenient, they are ignored.
