[Criminal Number 18F]

One thing I didn't mention -- even if the engine stopped, the normal result is a glide to an emergency landing somewhere, not a crash with six people dead.

I don't know what the situation was, or what was available to land on. Maybe the guy tried to make an emergency landing and didn't succeed. Maybe conditions made it impossible.

But, when all is said and done they will probably hang it on the pilot.

d.o.l.

The man's new wife, also a counterterrorism strategist, was also supposed to have been on the plane but gave up her seat at the last minute to allow a family of four to sit together on the ill-fated flight Thursday, The Sunday Telegraph reported.

Evidently she was a better strategist than he!

This is a story to watch.
