#1 Give me the proverbial break. I've heard of several reports of airplanes from Santa Monica Airport tanking. Were the crashes in the 70s terrorism as well?

#2 It's too early to discount any possibility. One thing we can be sure of is that The AuthoritiesÂ® will bend over backwards to convince us that this isn't terrorism regardless of the actual circumstances. For now, there's a lot about this incident that doesn't add up no matter how you slice it.

#3 It now looks like this wasn't terrorism. But I agree with Rex that the way the authorities rule out terrorism at the very beginning is ridiculous. And considering the factors I originally mentioned, terrorism should have been considered as a possibility. I think it's a possibility that's now been discounted, but at the time, it seemed real.
