Yes, terrorism can't be ruled out. On the other hand, it was an Airbus that was subject to Inshallah maintenance standards. (Inshallah being similar to mañana, only without the sense of urgency...) I'd give it a 50-50% chance of being terrorism.

I expect that numerous families and tribes in Egypt are going to start dying for random reasons. The government needs the tourism money and the Russians will hire reprisals supply poisons and bugs. :twisted:

Reports coming in now say it is consistent with a bomb...

You can do it by editing your first post, I think.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Yes
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

Correct. However that doesn't fix replies already posted (or replies to previously posted responses such as this one)

I clearly don't know what he was trying to fix. I just thought it was the misspelling of "missing". :D

I'd tell you to ignore my irrelevant comments, but that might be all of them. :lol:
