Spokespeople are always really quick to discount terrorism, but without the evidence to the contrary, it's more of a PR move than anything else.
I'm not saying it was a bomb or not, I'm just saying the wreckage hasn't even been found yet, everything is still on the table.
The thing with terrorist events is that the terrorists want people to know what they did. That is the point of terrorist actions. To draw media attention to your cause. The fact that no one has claimed responsibility tends to support the discounting of terrorism.
THat said, it doesn't discount the theory of some lone nutbag with a death wish or other such thing, but "organized" terrorism is most likely out.
