I dunno know...terrorism doesn't sound right to me....don't they usually come right out and take credit for something like this.
In most accidents, they first gather pieces of wreckage and when possible, pull up from ocean floor, put the transportation investigators on the job, do all that before determining cause of the crash....I think it more likely was a mechanical issue....seems a bit premature to be announcing it was terrorism, but what do I know.
I try to watch the program "Airline Disasters." It is not presently in my TV package, but I am fascinated by the National Transportation Accident teams they send to all sites which involve American citizens....Greg Fieth might be retired now but he is an excellent investigator...side note: he is very nice looking and is or was married to anchor lady on CBS news channel in Denver......that was back in 2006.
Anyway, they have to issue final accident report which goes out to public, etc...I can find accident reports now online on flights where I have lost friends due to crashes...Nov 55 (no friend, but parked next to airplane which exploded from bomb after takeoff over Longmont, Co, April 62, and June 62.....United, Flying Tiger and Continental Airlines.....They have to assign blame or responsibility to either pilot error, aircraft malfunction, terrorism, etc.....There is a particular instance a few years ago, when it was the CAB who oversaw these investigations and they submitted a report which the AAPA did not agree with which is unusual but occasionally you get crappy investigators, too....
