I really hope its not a bomb because that means it got past Paris airport security
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.

Is that a serious question, or are we just going to put our fingers in our ears and pretend there isn't a problem again?

If it was 10 mile from landing woukd it have been starting it's descent?

A ground to air missile could have taken it down.
What I was thinking.

That region is very dangerous at the moment. I wouldn't fancy flying over it.

A problem with what, exactly? Muslims working in airports?

I still think it must be almost impossible to sneak a bomb on the plane as a baggage handler airside.

My fear is a bomb planted in a suitcase that is undetectable by scanners. But would be surprised.

I think its possibly just engine failure or engine explosion

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.....
The world's full of them...not.

Muslims and terrorism, obviously.

Putting aside your gross oversimplification, where is the relevance to Muslims working in airports?

Airports and airlines are notorious terror targets. There is a well known, ongoing, global problem with Islam and terrorism.

Do I have to keep explaining every single minor point, are you that dense?

Ah, so you are branding all Muslims as potential terrorists.

Thanks for making it explicit. It means I can now ignore you safe in the knowledge I wasn't wrong in my initial opinion.

Oh the irony.

A ground to air missile could have taken it down.
An asteroid could have too.
A drunk pilot could have caused the crash.
A pair of vultures getting sucked into both engines could have had catastrophic consequences.
A lunatic, drunken passenger opening the emergency door may be the cause.

I like this wild speculation game. Who's next

Stable door, gate and all that. But if it appeases the Islamaphobes then probably best to shoo all Muslimy types out of the airport in case they all go on a mass bombing mission.
(Even though there is zero evidence to suggest this was terrorist related, but hey, you can never be too sure right - can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs and all that)

Brad Pitt could have blown a hole in the plane because of a zombie outbreak, you know like in that film world war Z? It's highly likely purely on the basis that I think so.

Even those aren't as outlandish as a "fascist group" wanting to "smear the tradition of the Islamic world".

I find it very odd that there were 3 security personnel on board. Is this normal? Do lots of planes travel with them on board as part of ongoing security in airspace?

No, of course not.
But you happily believe that extraterrestrial life may have caused a plane crash... OK then...

Do you think a mad pilot just flew it into the sea? Like the one that went into the mountains recently?
