Dang I hate doing this.... but the A300 is made by Airbus, not by Boeing.

The timing makes it suspicious, though it'll probably take a few days/weeks before we know what brought it down.
Internal reports say that the airplane on the runway behind the airbus saw smoke coming from the engine

Sounds like mechanical failure

BTW I live in Queens, under one of the flight paths of LGA - a bit of a scare before I heard "Rockaway"
