Flight recorder says its a bomb

patbz — Fri, 06 Nov 2015 20:14:52 GMT

They read the flight recorder of the Russian jet that went down in Egypt and it is definitively a bomb. The 20,000 Grits who were trapped and are leaving within a couple of days can't bring any stowed luggage. This is very worrisome for air security.

I had a feeling (sadly to say).........Well at least it's out in the open. Thanks for the update.

I knew this, because Isis had taken responsibility for it, but of course they had to check it out!

Preventing passengers from carrying any luggage won't prevent an airline worker from placing a bomb in the cargo area just before the plane is sealed. They are saying that is a possibility, too. That beautiful little 10-month-old girl who was found 21 miles from the wreckage breaks my heart. They haven't yet found the remains of her parents.

So, there was an audible explosion on the flight recorder?

Carpet bombing is proven to be very effective during WW2.

It seems to be so much easier for us to acknowledge a terrorist attack when it happens to another country than when it happens here. Wonder why that is.

@Isobel Archer

Are you including domestic terrorism in that statement?

I read a report the other day saying domestic terrorism was the real threat to America.

Apparently, the security was very lax for this plane, as it is for so many others.

A bomb in the cargo can be traced more easily than a ground-to-airplane missile. Isn't that what ISIS claimed? That a missile exploded the plane?

If ISIS do not have a technology to shoot down a plane flying as high as an airliner--that is good news.

It also raises the question of whether it was their bomb that brought down the plane, because unless I am misremembering they claimed it was a missile from the ground.

Still a bit more investigation to be done here.

Several ways a bomb can be determined-- if the pieces when reassembled show the metal bowing outward, it means it was on the plane.

If the metal is showing bowing inward, then the bomb/missile was shot from the outside.

I hope they catch the people who did this.

What terror attack has happened in the US that hasn't been acknowledged?

Last I heard, the ISIS claim was discredited.

My heart breaks for the families who lost loved ones. And those precious children... Who is so sick and hateful to take the lives of babies? And for what purpose? Sad.

I don't think whoever did it cared who was on the plane as long as they killed as many as possible. Sick people.

People were wondering why I said that I no longer want to fly. THIS is why I said that. I even said that the bomb doesn't have to come through check point.

Who has access to cargo hold?

It isn't TSA.

THAT'S what concerns me.

And that's EXACTLY what happened to the Russian plane.

If it happened there, what makes you think that it couldn't happen here?

The answer is, it could.

And I think that it will.

It's just a matter of time.

If they were successful once......

And don't go thinking that it can only be done by a card carrying member of ISIS.

It doesn't.

All it would take is someone who SYMPATHSIZES with them.

They don't even have to be on anyone's radar for it to happen.

THAT'S why I said that I don't want to fly.

The last report I heard was an explosion was heard on the data recorder, but there was no definite confirmation yet that it was a bomb. Mechanical failure might also sound like an explosion. Where did you see this latest confirmation of a bomb? Is this jumping to conclusions or has a definite statement been made confirming a bomb?

Re: Flight recorder says its a bomb

Lotus — Sat, 07 Nov 2015 01:08:02 GMT

I heard that the flight recorder recorded the sound of an explosion. No one has identified that explosion as a bomb yet.

Plaid Pants2 — Sat, 07 Nov 2015 02:34:31 GMT

I have been watching national news, and CNN had on David Soucie, safety analyst, who has vast experience with planes, and crash investigations, and he said that the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder, which are located at OPPOSITE ends of the plane, both stopped recording at the same time.

He also said that the sound heard on the recorder, was the SIGNATURE SOUND of a bomb.

He said that it was NOT mechanical failure that brought down the plane.

If it was mechanical, both recorders would not have stopped recording at the same exact time.

But if you don't believe me, you can look up his credentials and see that he's not some shlock. David Soucie knows what he's talking about.

No one can say with 100% certainty that it could NEVER happen in the United States.

If anyone believes that it can't happen here, then they are living in denial.
