No offense intended. It's just that nearly every time an airplane falls from the sky a SAM is one theory. Doesn't happen too often, particularly over places like New York City. Maybe in former Soviet republics. I can't speak for the poster's engine prowess, except that it seems to contradict what I heard from the talking heads on CNN, MSNBC, and FOX news today. A former NTSB director took particular notice of the vertical stabilizer coming off cleanly (not ripped off) and landing in the water well away from the rest of the plane. Also, I'm a private pilot and when I saw that tail piece being hoisted, my first thought was that somebody had forgotten to tighten some bolts. However, it doesn't explain the apparent explosion either in or near the engine. It's really too early to tell, and all or most of the facts could change by tomorrow.
