This Sentence Is A Lie

The NTSB is reporting the scattering of the wreckage as "puzzling."  It's only puzzling if you go on insisting that this was an accident.  The embarrassment of having another airplane destroyed and more people killed and more property destroyed on the ground in NY is nearly unthinkable right now.  I'm afraid that we may not be informed much on this issue.

Until I heard about the tail section being found in Jamaica Bay, I thought it was 50/50 on the accident/terrorism scale.  This is not consistent with any known issues on this plane.  The failures have been engines catching fire, not exploding and falling off.  And what *about* the tail stabilizer coming off?  If that hadn't happenned, the pilot might have been able to make a water landing without the engine.  Supposedly, the planes are tested for this sort of thing.  Instead, it apparently came down in a cartoon-like vertical drop.

Add to this that the plane had it's A-maintenance overhaul on Sunday, and this was it's first flight since then.  Starting to look like the mechanics should have been background checked too?  I know it looks like that to me right now.  Heck, maybe someone got access who wasn't a mechanic.  It's been proven by various TV news organizations that one can sneak into all sorts of places in airports, and they've been so focused on what's going into the passenger area...well, I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this.

And then there's the coincidence that the Taliban chose to flee Kabul within an hour of that plane going down.  That's some interesting timing there.  I know if I were them, and Osama told me he'd blown up that plane, I'd run far, far away.  It's possible they just thought they'd be blamed, even if we didn't know what happenned.  I just find it odd that they'd flee right then and that they'd give up without any shots being fired.

The plot thickens.
