Hi, Scott! I don't believe the conspiracy theories... Even under the current conditions, too many people would have to be muzzled to keep such a thing a secret, including all the officials charged with investigating air accidents. Something would surely leak out. I am not a aviator, but I think it would be extremely difficult to control a jumbo jet in its first few minutes of flight if the whole rudder assembly sheered off. The news pictures at the time of the tail section clearly showed that it was a clean break, with no evidence at all of any explosion. How could terrorists arrange for that to happen with the tightened security at JFK? Also, there is plenty of corroboration that the AA flight was buffeted by turbulence from a 747 that took-off ahead of it. Terrorists could not have counted on that happening. I think that it was an accident, caused by some improbable coincidences happening at the same time (as is true, by definition, with most accidents). I think that a terrorist explanation is even more, much more, improbable. Just my two cents! Regards, JC
