...The jet couldn�t return to Dubai International Airport when controllers ordered a landing after being told of the fire, Saif Al Suwaidi, general manager of civil aviation, told state-run Dubai TV. The sky was clear and winds were about 5 miles per hour, according to aviation weather website CheckWX.com.

�Whatever happened, it must have been pretty catastrophic,� said Bill Waldock, a crash investigation professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona...

My spider sense is tingling (nudges lurking NSA folks)...

5. Good catch - I can't see any of the media has brought this up yet

Could be coincidence, but it must be something to investigate.

7. I am kicking this up again because NBC mentioned that the US

and Dubai was looking into the possibility that the crash might be related now.
