US National Security Officials Among The Best In The World

From that CNN story on the aircraft mishap at San Francisco:
There are no signs of terrorism related to the crash, a national security official told CNN.
It is amazing how fast our national security officials can come to these conclusions. At the time of the story, the plane was still burning.

Along that line, this is an interesting tweet from the WSJ:
Breaking: 2 dead, up to 100 wounded in San Francisco plane crash.  
Generally speaking, if it is a mishap or an accident, "wounded" are referred to as "injured." In combat, fights, attempted homicide, and terrorist acts, the "injured" are referred to as "wounded." (From the freedictionary.com:  suffering from wounds; injured, esp in a battle or fight.)
