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

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.
