Wow, a terrorist group, oh sorry, a resistance group, blames Israel. Didn't see that one coming.
Planes crash, especially when they're older and flying in strong storms.

This is nothing but an accident right now. There was no debris found outside the impact area, which means it was intact when it came down.
The plane had over 30,000 cycles on it. That's a lot for any aircraft, but especially one that flies in that area.

You know what, you're right, there are no accidents. This was a covert operation to insert five French special forces soldiers, so they had to kill everyone on the plane to cover it up.

Nothing is an accident
Nothing is a conspiracy
Both are ridiculous ideas to hold as they simply do not match reality.
Everyone has their own internal line that gets drawn when coincidence becomes too overwhelming for reasonable belief in mere coincidence. Evidently your line is a litter farther than the OPs, but your characterization of him as someone who thinks everything is a conspiracy is simply dismissive and immature, quite frankly a lot less than I'd expect from a mod.
I know you are knowledgeable about aircraft, and that from your perspective it's very reasonable that the plane crashed on its own. Not disagreeing, but if you were planning to down a plane in order to assassinate someone wouldn't a good time to be when that person is flying on a plane that wouldn't cause much surprise when it crashed? As opposed to a tip-top craft that would cause a lot of surprise by knowledgeable people such as yourself?

I don't think mods are supposed to moderate in threads they participate in, but other than that they can post like normal members.
I'm not saying I'm never rude or dismissive, but especially to a newer member such as yourself it just seemed mean spirited to me so I had to say something.
Sorry for getting the thread off-topic.
