Conversely, if this is an accident and the engine did fail on its own, how do we differntiate between sabotage and something like American buying cheapie counterfeit airplane parts, maybe Chinese-made for example.
Agree that this doesn't seem like an obvious target. I know the Koran paints a pretty broad brush, commanding muslims to kill all Jews and Christians, but this plane doesn't seem like a particularly high-value target for the raghead contingent, unless it was just a target-of-opportunity for some random islamo in the ground crew.
Real simple. I flew to Puerto Rico over the weekend and was amazed at how hard it is to tell the difference between some latins and arabs.
I wouldn't be surprised if the guy who planted the bomb was on the plane.
He wouldn't have stuck out like a sore thumb.
>>Why would terrorists blow up a plane full of Haitians when they had their choice of planes loaded with Americans?<<
FIRST OF ALL, Don't presume I am saying this is necessarily a terrorist action, although it is *NO* great leap of logic to say there's a good chance it is. Anyone with an IQ over 3 can concede this, and it is sheer arrogance if anyone (I'm not saying you) would deride anyone else for thinking so.
BUT, to answer your question: Americans in Queens were killed by a plane FULL of fuel, thereby making it for all practical purposes, a BOMB.
I have never said conclusively that this is a terrorist attack. That would be as foolish as someone INSISTING (out of sheer ignorance) that it IS NOT.
Fair enough?
