Wonder what happened?  Struggle in cockpit?  Terrorist pilot lost control.  Downed by USAF?  Those all suck.   :(
May the Lord have mercy on them.   :(

Damn appauling scenes on tv here in the uk  :(

Prayers go to all murdered or maimed or fighting for life

If it was downed by us forces to save a greater loss of life my heart goes out to the people that have to carry that burden  :( it must of tore their heart out  :( and unfortunately may do forever

It's a sick world most of us have to try n survive in

Maybe now all countries so far largely uneffected by acts like these will see what other countries have to suffer on a sometimes daily ritual and maybe look at some causes which they/citizens support ! and look upon things differently

To all with relatives/friends in the areas i wish you/them all well and hope your loved ones are safe

If that plane was shot down by US fighters, then I am deeply sorry for the poor pilot who had to kill dozens of his countrymates to avoid a massacre. And that I hope he can live with it in the future.  :(

Because of the lack of information on the Aircraft Downed in Penn, I am guessing that it was shot down. It was a tough call but one that had to be made. It's a squeak and a tradgidy but 100 lives where sacrificed for posibly 5000 or more.

The very lack of information on that crash does lead one to wonder.

If they did shoot it down to prevent another disaster all I can say is thank the Lord they got it in time.

If it was hijacked the people on board were dead either way the way it looks.

I heard that to Eagler, CNN said a man locked in a bathroom called 911 (I think) on his cell phone.....he kept talking until he reported a BOOM and lost contact
