Nov. 13, 2001 Air Crash over New York Was Work of Al Qaeda Suicide, Says Canadian Intelligence...A captured al-Qaeda operative, Mohammed Mansour Jabarah, told Canadian intelligence investigators that a Montreal man who trained in Afghanistan alongside the 9/11 hijackers was responsible, using a small shoe bomb similar to the one used by convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid for his “suicide mission.” He named Abderraouf Jdey, a Canadian citizen known also as “Farouk the Tunisian.” This is reported in Canada’s National Post Asked for a comment, US National Transportation Safety Board spokesman, Ted Lopatkiewicz, still insisted there was no evidence of anything other than an accident (in the plane crash over Queens.) It appears, at least the evidence we have, is that a vertical fin came off, not that there was any kind of event in the cabin.” ...
Here are some links to the crash, going back to the time it happened and what had been said and argued...
conspiracy? coverup? or sheer incompetence? http://www.ntsb.gov/events/2001/AA587/default.htm http://www.ntsb.gov/events/2001/AA587/tailcomp.htm http://www.revlu.com/AA587.html If this was indeed a terror attack, how many others have we had that have been dismissed as accidents? http://www2.umdnj.edu/pathweb/autopsy/aaflight587.htm http://www.trvnews.com/tsl/112301/ http://www.rockawave.com/news/2004/0730/Columnists/050.html

not ot pick nits, but this plane crash landed IN Queens after an inflight failure (or whatever) -- your post makes it sound like it hit another plane.

Debka? No evidence of terrorism, according to the NTSB, a famously apolitical, competent government agency?

Next thread.
