Maybe wait for the experts before jumping to conclusions?

That takes all the fun out of it.
If nothing else, at least it has stopped CNN from talking about Drumpf 24/7. That's a refreshing change.

Following the developing story now. So sad. Thoughts for the loved ones.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

In Islam muslims go to paradise if they are killed in a falling building. Allah didn't mention airplanes but maybe an airplane can be considered a type of building for bonus death purposes.

Why are we talking about Muslims and Republicans? Why not just be sad for the people who died and their families? Not everything has to be an opportunity to get political or to bash the groups we don't like. People died, have some respect.

Right, and if he was here I'd tell him the same thing. But he's not. You guys are.

So far the experts agree with trump. Egyptian avation minister and Russian and American intelligence all agree it was most likely explosives rather than a mechanical failure.
If I was to speculate I'd also agree, most likely Islamic terrorists, but that's just because it's obviously the most simple and logical explanation.
Pilot suicide and hijacking are also possibilities.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
