I beg to differ...

Reader comment on item: Why Did American Airlines 587 Crash?
in response to reader comment: aa587 Conspiracy

Submitted by Bee Thomas (United States), Dec 28, 2009 at 16:26

Multiple witnesses reported seeing flames and smoke eminating from the mid section of the plane. The tail in the wake theory does not take these witnesses into account. I do not trust the NTSB and reject their official explanation.
