Another wacko. Why do they always have to try and take others with them. He even set his own house on fire with his wife and kid in it.

"We do not yet know the cause of the plane crash," the Department of Homeland Security said in a release. "At this time, we have no reason to believe there is a nexus to terrorist activity. We continue to gather more information, and are aware there is additional information about the pilot's history."

Hmmm...Do you have to be an Irish or Islamic or Socialist radical to commit a terrorist act? Guy had it in for the government and crashed a plain into one of their buildings. Sounds like terrorism to me. I'm sure the victums' families feel the same way.

When a brown person crashes a plane into a building they are a terrorist.

When a white person does it, they are "Angry at the Government" WTF?

of course he was a terrorist - the same as Tim McVeigh

Steve, I hear that the OED is redefining the term 'terrorist'.

Mods, please feel free to move this to politics if you wish. I understand this crash has set off a political flurry.

^^ I've seen media reports that indicated it has become a political thing. I wasn't referring to this thread.
