I wonder if Tina Fey could see it?
FYP, YW.
How awful! Coming from Dubai it could also be an Isis bomb.
What does the above image say or mean?
and aleikhem shalomto you.
Ugh, looked like a fairly heavily populated area, too.

Looks like it was on holding pattern for a landing.
I wonder where it would have been if it had landed and taken off again?
I sometimes track specific planes backwards to see where they came from and you'd be surprised how many cities the plane you get on has been that day or that week.
It's kinda neat.
I also fool with a few tracking systems like this one. You can click on the planes and get information on the flight, speed, altitude, heading, destinations etc.

Cool!
I meant if it was a timed bomb where was it supposed to blow up if the plane hadn't been so late and circling?
fortunately for those in the city, it crashed on open ground. high winds are possibly to blame:The crash occurred inside the airport’s perimeter, about 250 metres short of the runway.

If you watch the video, it was on fire as it came down. I doubt high winds could do that.
I wondered about that too but they say it was near hurricane force wind and the guy already tried to land once and nailed the tail and went back around so there was also damage to the plane as is my understanding. If he lost tail rudder control or it was compromised in any way theres no way he could land the plane in those winds.
Everyone seems in agreement this was not terrorism or anything of the sort.
