Airport looking for answers but found none. I want to know where my son is. Reporter the last contact they made was greek airspace it. Airspace. Greek radar showed the plane suddenly turning 900 all while loosing altitude then vanishing from the radar. The way that it came down tells me something catastrophic happened with it. Reporter there are working theories that suggest an inflight explosion and while it is unclear, the initial speculation points to terrorism as they seem to be fixated on bombing commercial airlines. None of the passengers were on terror a lot terror watch and there was no explosion detected by us spy satellite. The us suspects the worst, terrorism. Aviation experts say it is too soon to tell what went wrong and anything is still possible.

Truthfully i believe rosemari rejection had far more to go with the brillance of his presidency than anyone can understand. Yes, he was our countrys greater champion of what we all call mental retardation. To this day his legacy of innovation creating ichd, university affiliated centers, president s council remains today one of the great histories of our country. But beyond the work he did for people with intellectual disabilities, i believe it was rosemarys influence that centralized him and all of us to be aware of vulnerable people.
