#1 "Looks like yet another terrorist attack. Airplane departed from Gay Paree. When will we get tough, smart and vigilant?

"Looks like".... indeed it does. Fault him if you will, but "Looks like" is hardly an out-of-the-box preliminary deduction.

#2 Trump states the obvious and the PC, "Religion of Peace", crowd gets the vapors. One of the reasons to like him

#3 The swerves the plane took before crashing point to a struggle in the cockpit.

This could be terrorist interference, but the Germanwings disaster proves that other reasons may apply.

We can speculate all we like, but presidents and candidates should show more restraint until facts are known.

You don't want a president who reacts without knowing any facts. That's a recipe for disaster.

#4 You don't want a president who reacts without knowing any facts. That's a recipe for disaster.

No, but you want a candidate who knows how to get elected. He has learned that he can use Twitter to get free publicity from the media. They don't have to like him, all they have to do is spell his name right.

#5 I can't find the link right now but CNN and NBC were calling terrorism as well.

You mean like:

"The Cambridge Police acted Stupidly"

"If I had a son..."

-too many more to list - save the bandwidth-

#8 Need more time to rule out obscure YouTube video release for the early arrival of the jet at a non scheduled landing strip 180 ft under the Mediterranean Sea.

#14 What Besoeker posted:

On May 20th 2016 The Aviation Herald received information from three independent channels, that ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) messages with following content were received from the aircraft:

00:26Z 3044 ANTI ICE R WINDOW
00:26Z 561200 R SLIDING WINDOW SENSOR
00:26Z 2600 SMOKE LAVATORY SMOKE
00:27Z 2600 AVIONICS SMOKE
00:28Z 561100 R FIXED WINDOW SENSOR
00:29Z 2200 AUTO FLT FCU 2 FAULT
00:29Z 2700 F/CTL SEC 3 FAULT
no further ACARS messages were received

That would indeed point to an electrical failure, not a terrorist act.

#15 EC,
Sensors triggered over a 3 minute period while a crisis is rolling out needs forensics... jets falling out of the sky without Maydays is pretty rare...but it was an Airbus, so perhaps Brussels standards need to be considered . :-)
