Federal investigators said yesterday the co-pilot of doomed American Airlines Flight 587 called for "max power" four seconds after the frame of his A300 Airbus was rattled twice, possibly by the wake of a larger plane.

Nineteen seconds later, both engines and the tail inexplicably began tearing free of the plane, which had just taken off for Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, from John F. Kennedy International Airport. The pieces and the rest of the aircraft began falling in a straight line down into the ground. All 260 persons aboard were killed, as apparently were five persons missing from homes that the plane hit.

Her unusual optimism about the search for an answer so soon, and elimination of several important theories so early in an investigation of a major airline disaster, were extraordinary.

I think this lady is being too "optimistic" .. This only leads to expectations of a resolution that may be difficult to meet. This is one instance that the various "tin-foil" crowd on the forum is correctly criticizing.

Rough (very) translation of Nostradamus (Circa 1287 AD) From the medieaval French / Norman.

Verily did the big aluminium shiny box symbolising AA587 ( a magick Number) with many souls around ascend the high heavens and did the big wind blow the birds of the air into the power boxes. After this the pointing top fin fell off then, did the power boxes and then the whole thing fell from the sky whilst the people watched in amazement on this the Day of the Veterans..

Great were the fires thereof as the men stood around in amazement.

Verily did the men holding the box remain silent thereof unto the tower called air traffic control, as did the Princes and Kings. Men came forward and said these power boxes are bad and the JKF is verily known to have birds flying.Much thereof, these things happeneth every day methinks.

This a great and unknown accident.Men of the Orient are unknown to cause these problems sayed Bomber Blair as he prayed for their souls, verily. Much wringing of hands and washing of brains followed.

Any who say different are part of VRWC and probably have been drinking from a stream, and have changed their appearance.

This is a big accident and the insurers will pay most heavily, unto the last groat thereof. For it is ordained this is an accident and not thereof a terror of man, be he bearded like the leopard, and fearsome to see who has blazing shooting stick whereof stinger missile to bring down big birds. Much made in the place called the land of the free and the home of the brave and sent all over the earth here, there and everywhere man have the gold, silver and precious jewels thereof to pay for them.

Much shall be made by the tellers of news and the printers thereof of this great event, just as when I foresaw, Hitlery and all she did bring. verily it is said to be true thereof.

Move along, nuthin' to see, go to the mall, buy a car, pump gas.

"max power" = "run for your life."
