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.

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.

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?

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

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.
