Airplane suicide bomber
If this is indeed true, it's beautiful enough to bring a tear to your eye

I do not know where the best place is to set off an explosion on a jet for the best results...
But that looked like it was intended to do more , being near a wing and, of course, tanks

It must have been a very small bomb. Amazingly the plane held together even though the decompression would have been very sudden... "Amateur night"

That should be next to the word "karma" in the dictionary.

That would have been ugly at 25-30k feet.

It's the airline's only plane, so they are out of business. There was no real decompression... the cabin automatically stays at about 8,000 feet and they were just over 10,000 feet. |

I will hazard a wild guess that the bomber's name had Mohamed or something similar for his name.
Just a guess.
