No one knows if it's a terrorist attack or just an accident...but either way it's getting PLENTY of coverage!

well i personally think it's an accident, but others have pointed out that the engine apparently fell out in midair etc. leading those others to believe that there was a hijacker or a bomb on board...... I still think it was an accident though...:(

a plane falls appart 2 mins after take of the same way the Concorde went into flames as it was taking off... some really bad luck and a horrid chain of events that you could not plan on having happen with that kind of accuracy in timing...

of course a bomb would do it too....
