Precisely. I am having that same argument with people here at work? I mean come on. Let's do a little statistical analysis folks. What are the odds or this type of accident happening on in the wake of 9/11? on 11/12? Almost two months to the day? Of course there wouldn't have been as large of a loss of life if it had occurred yesterday morning. I dunno.. All I know is I aint flying again anytime soon.

Easy,people.As I stated on a earlier post,I work in the dispatch office of a midwesyern airline.My desk is right next to maintenance control and the consensus is worn bolts on the pylon holding the engine to the wing.There is precedence for this;AA DC-10 El-AL 747-400 at AMS.Let the engineers figure it out,then we can comment responsibly.But I will say if it is premeditated....All bets are off.
