They could investigate the show, Dumn and DumNer.

"My parakeet Peety died. His head fell off. He was very old."

..."Our pets' heads are falling off!"...

If they really want to convince us it's not terror related, they should try to sell it to the blind kid.

the agency probably won't decide the probable cause of the crash until next year.

So then this is a nonreport report?

[Joe Boucher]

I wonder if the govt. has arrested anyone for trying to get a piece of the tail to do an independant test for explosives like they did to the one that went down over L.I?Also, why does the govt. refuse to turn over the surveilance videos of the Oklahoma city area just prior to the bombing there. What don't they in govt. want us to know?

So this plane is save to fly as long as the pilot doesn't move the rudder back and forth.

Can't wait for the final report.

IMO every one should have a redesigned tail installed.
Not to mention the computer control system that produces a large rudder swing to a small input.

Thanks for the post.

...involves many complex technical questions that can be boiled down to a simple query: What caused the tail to snap off?

The NTSB should review the passenger manifest. They'd probably find that someone named Mohammed was sitting near the back of the plane.

OK. The tail fell off because it was plastic.

Now could they please tell me why both engines fell off?

[copycat]

The tail came off because the plane was never designed to fly sideways. The plane "lurched to the left", when the right wing lost it's structural integrity (like dipping one oar in the water). The side wind forces sheared the tail off cleanly.

The right wing failed because a shoe bomber detonated just above the right wing.

Flight 587 probe focusing on what made tail fall off .

I'm going out on a limb and saying the reason the tail fell off was caused by the 1st shoe bomber igniting his bomb before passengers could stop him.
