Amazes me about conspiracy theories and fear of flying. You have 1000000x chance of dying in a car accident then you do on a plane. Also, if the government or anyone else wanted to kill a bunch of people, they could’ve blown up 20 subway trains on 9/11 that would’ve killed more Americans.
shite happens in aviation and terrorism is shite.

might be a good idea to recheck YouTube to see if there are any videos on how easy it is to ignite jet fuel vapors inside a storage system.
So easy that in the previous 27 years of service it never happened before to a 747?

I am not sure your point, Boeing and other aircraft manufacturers understand the huge risk fuel vapors pose in the tanks and design systems to prevent them from exploding.
Aviation history is full of examples of incidents that only happened once as the industry works incredibly hard to investigate, learn and adapt.

A missile shot it down and it was covered up.
Except it didn’t and it therefore wasn’t because you can’t cover up something that never happened.

Likely some forum of terrorism they covered up.

I’m familiar with aircraft systems, there are probably only a handful of posters on here more knowledgeable on systems than me.
My point is: it takes a chain of events to cause an accident in aviation and to say one isolated “smoking gun” cause is disingenuous.

I think you’re arguing the same point.

These posts always crack me up.
Number 1: You don’t have to read it.
Number 2: What if somebody else is interested?
