Well, most of you are probably fixed to their television set watching what happened in NY this morning. Another airplane crashed in NY (Yorick, I'm not sure if it hit close to where you live but I hope you're OK... and all others that live in NY who post on this forum).

Now, let's get into speculation. The first and obivious theory for the flight is of course a bird strike causing catastrophic failure(as a pilot, that's my opinion). However, we cannot rule out possible sabotage or bomb being planted on the aircraft's engine and detonated at takeoff. Or even just plain structural failure as the structural standards for plane in the US are well below those of other civilized country.

Though I really doubt that this crash is a terrorist attack, I'm curious to see what's going to come out of it. First, the NTSB, the FBI and the Governement will tell us that the plane went down in a non-criminal way (wether it's the case or not). But, I wouldn't be surprised if Bin tried to take credit for it (or even elude to terrorism) even if he had nothing to do with it. Of course, he'd do this only to reinforce the views that the system is flawed and non-secure (that's what I would do if I was in his place!).

What do you think? Terrorism or just a plain normal plane crash?
