There were no signs of mecahnical faliure, the plane took off one hour late, that means if it was a timed bomb the plane would have gone down over oh lets say random VERY VERY deep place in the atlantic ocean. The plane was an easy shop for all sorts of shoulder launched SAM's. According to the information I have seen, there are no SAM's that can reach out and touch a plane at 13000 feet. The engagement ceiling on a most is 8000 to 9000 feet iirc.
Ummm... Stinger missles go ~5 miles. 13000 is about 2.7 miles.
They have a 5 mile horizontal reach, their vertical engagement ceiling is about 8000 to 9000 feet.
There is a hell of alot of terrorist activity right now, and the olympics, I think there is good circumstantial evidance to suggest terrorist activty just from motives and oppertunity. What motives? There was a threat the day beforehand and all...
I don't know if it was terrorist activity, I was just annoyed at the extensive every 15 minutes even tho' there is nothing new to say I gotta get my mug and my voice on the ether coverage. Petro, Christopher C. petro@suba.com <prefered for any non-list stuff> snow@smoke.suba.com
