The Egyptair flight flying from Europe to Egypt that mysteriously fell from the sky Thursday, most likely leaving everyone on the plane dead is probably going to turn out to be act of terrorism.

Something I’ve learned over the past several years; I have a pretty good nose when it comes to terrorism. Back right after the San Bernardino shootings, I could tell from a mile away that it was terrorism. Remember back when everyone was trying to say, “Oh, well, we just don’t know quite yet what their motives were and what prompted them to shoot up the building.” Of course, it later came out that the attack was, in fact, terrorism. So why is the EgyptAir crash any different?

Let’s take a look at what happened, people. A plane falls from the sky on a flight to Egypt, and that is not terrorism how? We are living in the year 2016. Acts of terrorism are a lot more common these days, especially in the Middle Eastern nations. So when a plane flying to Egypt mysteriously crashes in mid air, it’s probably terrorism.

Could I be wrong? Of course. Am I probably right? Yes. After everything that has happened all across the world recently, the chances are almost zero that this was not terrorism. Planes are designed to stay in the sky, so when one crashes, it means one of two things: some fool didn’t do his job, or some fool blew it up.
