I had a similar list of reasons why this is a terrorist act. Add to this, the plane was an Airbus. Airbus planes are of much newer construction because the company itself is relative new comer, at least in terms of mass production. So we are probably talking about a plane that is not that old and hence less likely to have the kind of mechanical problems that older planes do.
