If it was a suicide mission by Jdey, shouldn't they be able to place him on the passenger list (even if he used an alias, shouldn't someone no one can identify/place stand out)? Even, possibly, have some remains?I alway thought it was a load of hooey that terrorism was ruled out even as the plane lay burning
Oy, have you just opened a can of worms.
I seriously doubt this. Al-Queda has neve been shy about claiming credit for such "victories". If they were truly able to bring down another plane just 2 months after 9-11, they would have been shouting it from the rooftops.
Allow me to be the first to say, "BUSH'S FAULT!"

An al-Qaeda operative says it, and they print it as fact. I suppose they believe everything that comes out of anyone's mouth, except a US Republican. Piss poor reporting.
I was thinking 587 was terrorism too
Methinks this operative might have taken a clue from Kerry and was pumping up his war record...
But of course. On the day of the wreck, while it was still burning, NTSB officials were jumping up and down and screaming that it wasn't terrorism. Pretty unusual for an organization that isn't supposed to comment on an investigation until the official accident report comes out.
*duh*
Next someone will tell us that EgyptAir 990 was also a terrorist downing.
Some people are smart enough to KNOW these things, even when the gov't is in instant denial --- especially when the gov't is in instant denial.
Well it looks like terrorists are being caught all over the world all the time. Sorry it took attacking America to do it.
Bush has done a super job in motivating world leaders of this real threat.
I think it was more clearcut TWA-800 was terrorism. You at least have people on the record , or acting in a way consistent with treating it as a terrorist act, until the boom got lowered by Clinton to perfore a "swerve".
Why would Al-Queda knock off a plane full of Dominican?
If it was a suicide mission by Jdey, shouldn't they be able to place him on the passenger list (even if he used an alias, shouldn't someone no one can identify/place stand out)? Even, possibly, have some remains? How many bridges have you purchased lately?
Really. Let's stick to the obvious facts. Al Qaida never took credit for either flight 587 or flight 800. If it was Al Qaida that took down both flights, Bin Laden wouldn't have been publically silent. The terrorists would have been shouting it from the roof tops.
Except there were no passengers on board with a Canadian passport. Hmmmm.
You mean the tail section didn't just fall off all by itself?
nah, the engines just fell off by themselves ... happens all the time ... [/sarcasm]

That is one of the regrettable fallouts of governments covering up terrorist attacks as accidents.
Many terrorist groups want notoriety for their actions. Thus, if a government covers up an act (singular acts called accidents, bad fuel, broken fuel line, cross winds from another plane, etc.), it emboldens those terrorist groups to commit bigger and more expansive acts that are too big to be covered up and classified as accidents.
Flight 800 might have been explaned away as an accident. Was it terrorist or accident? We need the truth.
Flight 587 might have been explaned away as an accident. Was it terrorist or accident? We need the truth.
One plane hitting one of the Twin Towers might have been explained away as an accident. Two planes, much more difficult to explain away. Three planes, impossible to explain away.
I find it amazing that all the eyewitnesses on the ground who reported seeing a small explosion by the right wing of the plane were never heard from again.
I've smelled "terrorist" on this since day one.
Faulty rudder my arse.
