ABC is reporting through several sources, one of them being Mayor Giuliani, that part of a wing landed in the bay near by.

John Nance, former airline pilot and ABC's Aviation Expert, felt that was very significant, stating that wreckage in three sites, with a wing landing apart from the engine and the fusilage, indicated something "more catastrophic" than an engine falling off.

He stopped short of saying bombs or "terrorists," but that seemed to be where he was leaning. There are baggage compartments near where the wing meets the fusilage. He thought it very unlikely that an engine falling off could take off the entire wing.

My understanding is that these planes are designed so that the engine is supposed to break away cleanly and allow the plane to continue flying under ideal circumstances. Basically the entire thing is highly suspicous. At anyrate there are more ways to bring down a plane then a bomb if you have access to the plane. Just like there are more ways to bring down the WTC than a bomb. I am sure if you are a terrorist and you have nothing to do all day but sit around and think about it and read techinical specifications you could come up with something.
