Remember that plane crash in Nov 2001, that crashed in Queens ?

It turns out now that a Canadian newspaper reported that according to a Canadian government report, it was a Quebec terrorist who used a shoe bomb, like the one Richard Reid attempted to use to blow up the plane. Interesting.

What the Hell are you talking aboot?
There are no terrorists here! Just people of different political persuasions. But you're a conservative, eh? So we Canadians think you're a terrorist.
So is this another Reid? Eh.

"We have seen no evidence of anything other than an accident," said Ted Lopatkiewicz, a U.S. NTSB spokesman. "It appears, at least the evidence we have, is that a vertical fin came off, not that there was any kind of event in the cabin."
You're taking the word of a "top-secret Canadian government report" over the NTSB? I wouldn't even take the word of a "top-secret Canadian government report" over the NTSB.

Actually, I'm not taking anybodys word yet, which is why I posted a question mark in the title.

The Canadian paper which first reported this, is supposed to be pretty respected, as in they aren't known for posting baloney.
