I don't how the FBI would know that.  I don't think anything's been ruled out.

>Engine fell off on take off.

a very unusual thing to happen to a plane.

A guy on NPR this morning said that particular plane has been around 
since 1972 (damn, they keep those planes going a long time!)

and that it is *supposed* to be able to fly even if an engine were to fall off.
