Thanks for this.  I posted it above.  Yes, these eye witness accounts of a tail on fire, if true, sure makes it sound like sabotage. PS: I just noticed the source of this story is from Israel.....you might want to take with a grain of salt.  They found the black boxes a few hours ago, so we should know soon. PPS: I just found this comprehensive Bloomberg series of articles about this Boeing "crisis", and not a peep in any of them of witnesses seeing the plane on fire or hearing an explosion.  One would think Boeing and/or Bloomberg would be repeating this quickly to reassure nervous passengers, IF IT WAS TRUE.  So I think the Israel news article might be disinformation. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-10/two-short-erratic-flights-end-in-tragedy-could-they-be-linked
