Press is searching hard for a motive or a way to milk this for viewership. This is no, none, zero, indication of terrorist attack or criminal act. We do have a missing jetliner, cause not known.
Maybe a rapid decompress occurred, the rudder came off the tail, a fuel tank exploded, lithium batteries in cargo hold caught fire, etc etc happened.
We don't know. What we do know is not one terrorist group has come forward to claim credit. If this was a terrorist attack, it got kind of bungled, not sure how successful the mission was when they put this into the ocean and no "message" put out for the world to see.
Stolen passports ? "How dare security allow this to happen" Anybody seen a third world or non-Western airport terminal ?
Does anyone think a
real terrorist would use a
stolen passport, to travel ?
Really people ?
Nazi war criminals ? Computer hackers ? Con artists/Ponzi scheme/Nigeria fraudsters ? Sex offenders ? Yes yes yes. Terrorists ? No.
BBC is reporting that the stolen passport dudes had planned to continue to Europe. Instead, they went swimming.

Gee, I am a drug smuggler, I am gonna drive my marijuana load from Arizona to New York with a stolen driver's license. Or a fake one.
Yeah, that is the path to success.
A real terrorist (do we
not learn...) would use valid/legal documents and avoid any and all scrutiny prior to mission execution....
We have kids flying around with nothing, no passport, no ID, no ticket. I guess they are terrorists too ?
