According to a Sky News commentator, it could apparently have been a 'fascist group' wanting to 'smear' the reputation of the Islamic world...
He was going through a list of what it could be, the same way it could just be a major catastrophic failure. Good on Sam Kiley to point out that terrorism doesn't just mean Islamic and that it comes in many forms.
And this is what happens when you have 24 hour news - mass speculation and broadcasts without any factual basis. A bit like this thread I guess...
Aye - you can always count on the ds aviation experts to make an appearance when things like this happen - thoroughly enjoying the drama veiled with faux concern.

Exactly! Add in that people want to know EXACTLY what happened NOW and seemingly cannot seem to grasp that initial information can be confused, uncertain, or just lacking. Not to mention that if the plane has crashed into a relatively small sea - it is still a very big area to search, and that debris is still quite difficult to spot amongst the detritus and small boats etc in the area.

The Mediterranean is surprisingly deep as well, I found out recently, with a maximum depth of over 17,000ft [5000m].

I never said he didn't say that, my point was he listed several things. Feel free to include what he had said before and after that. He has been interviewed several times and gone through a number of possibilities.

That could be one, but it could be anything.
He left out aliens though, which is only slightly less likely than it being a "fascist group" wanting to "smear the the Islamic tradition right across the globe".

How can a multi tonne object carrying 66 passengers disappear from Radar?
They can track a mobile phone but not a bloody plane ffs
I really hope its not a bomb because that means it got past Paris airport security
I think the point is...there is nothing left to track ie the object being tracked is no longer there. Taking the (currently assumed position) that there was no distress call then one must speculate that the plane suffered explosive decompression for some reason or the pilot dived the plane below an altitude not covered by radar and decided not to broadcast a mayday. Eitherway it does not look good.

Can they not invent a device that is trackable even if the plane decompresses?

I think the black box has a tracker beacon but can only be "detected" from relatively close range. I could be wrong, no doubt someone will confirm or correct.

They have Emergency Locator Beacons that should, in theory, feature worldwide operation via satellite.
Why do you find people speculating on the causes of this disaster, on a discussion forum, distasteful ?
My money's on a bomb, maybe set to go off at a certain altitude.
I wouldn't rule out catastrophic mechanical failure though.
It could always be one of those fascist groups, trying to smear the good name of Islam of course.....
Because people are speculating as to whether 66 missing people have either been blown up or shot down or this or that based on no evidence. It's incredibly disrespectful to them and their families.

BBC Radio 2 news just said that at least 66 Muslims have been removed from working airside because of security concerns, but still many more Muslims working at the airport.

I've been reading that details might be getting lost in translation / uncertainty as re "distress call".
Have a look on Twitter @MarineTraffic has just posted a video of where the local vessels are searching.

A ground to air missile could have taken it down.
