bbedward Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm surprised there was no topic here about it http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/19/middleeast/egyptair-flight-804-liveblog/ What's sad is that Trump called it out as islamic terrorism and all the headlines in the media were slamming trump for saying muslim terrorists. ...turns out it was islamic terrorists and not the buddhists or mormons.

gftChris Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 It's a bit early to be declaring it to be anything. Could be terrorism, could be not. Hopefully we can recover the black box and find out for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. ...but, let's be honest: what are the odds that a plane based out of the Middle East was destroyed by an act of Islamic terrorism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's plenty of reasons this would be a stupid terrorist attack. Like, why over the sea? Why on such a small plane? Why an Egyptian plane? Why not an A380 heading to New York or somewhere?

Islamic terrorists aren't very logical; if that were the case, they wouldn't strap bombs to themselves and detonate them, or execute people for being "witches" and "sorcerers".

Yeah I keep coming back to that. Like, if you really wanted to do some damage, you'd look for high density places, with a lot of people enjoying themselves so as to really go for the jugular - a football stadium with 100k fans in it is probably the way to go. Not a theatre with a few hundred, or a plane with 60, or whatever. But yeah, you've got to be pretty dumb to be a suicide bomber in the first place, so that probably explains it.

Clevfan4life Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Theres nothing wrong with shutting the fuck and letting the investigators do their thing. If its islamic terrorists fine, but it really isnt some rich american white guys place to be calling shit out about shit he isnt personally involved....and thats if ur not running for potus. Someone running for president who wants to prove he's not an impulsive mouth breather should stay the fuck away from shit like this....then when the facts are all in make a statement. Ill have to read what trump said but it looks like strike one to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbedward Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 It is possible to be right for the wrong reasons "Even though he's right he's wrong" MSNBC was interviewing him and telling him he should think about the victims families and not make comments about terrorism and such. His response was along the lines of "I'm thinking about the future and future of other families - if we don't talk about it we can't solve the problem" Something like that, fuck the PC cucks who get out after something like this and hold vigils and add filters to their twitter pictures then pretend it won't happen again.

jrb12711 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Has some terrorist organization claimed responsibility for this yet? Honestly, that's the biggest part not there for me and leads me to hold off on saying it was a terrorist attack outright (unless I've missed something). It could be some rogue guy (or guys in a smaller number) did this too in the name of insert terrorist organization. This type of thing takes some planning though.

But this is his opportunity now to come like he's a serious customer. Im not going to accept any change from him much later when all of a sudden one of his poll pigeons says hey donald this act might be wearing thin we're statting to lose. Wont accept it.

FairHooker11 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 not a trump bobo like OP is - but its Trumps appeal - shoots from the hip style that everyone likes, kinda like everyone in here.... certainly not anyone of those Dean Martin republicans or those on the left - you cant tell them apart anymore anyways Air Egypt plane goes down - first thought? terrorist act unless proven otherwise Romney wouldve / couldve BURIED obama in 2012 if he stayed talking about the terrorist / foreign policy blunders of benghazi, muslim brohood, syria, RUSSIA etc... Trump KNOWS this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiamat63 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 So it wasnt a bomb? I think it's possible the cockpit could have been breached and the plane taken over. Unlikely, but possible. With an explosion I would assume a steady drop in altitude, not a steep descent, level off and finally disappearing from radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
