@JayneSeckerSky Greek defence minister says #EgyptAir plane was "in Egypt airspace at 37,000 feet and made sudden swerves."

Because people are speculating as to whether 66 missing people have either been blown up or shot down or this or that based on no evidence. It's incredibly disrespectful to them and their families.
This is a discussion forum for discussing things. Stop being so precious. |

Well you know who won't turn, which is a start. Non-muslims, for example, will never become Islamic terrorists. True?

Given the proximity of Israel and Cyprus I would suspect there is a lot of real time radar information on the flight.

Terrible.
I hate flying so much How it can disappear, I have no idea. It was also 20 mins from it's destination! I don't think it was a bomb, they say the plane "swerved and fell", so I assume it was something outside the plane rather than inside if they "swerved" maybe to avoid getting hit by something? Either way, we won't know. |

Do you think a mad pilot just flew it into the sea? Like the one that went into the mountains recently?
![]() https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EgyptAir_Flight_990 EgyptAir Flight 990 was a regularly scheduled flight from Los Angeles International Airport, United States, to Cairo International Airport, Egypt, with a stop at John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York City. On 31 October 1999, the Boeing 767 operating the route crashed into the Atlantic Ocean about 60 miles (100 km) south of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, killing all 217 people on board. The official "probable cause" of the crash was deliberate action by the relief first officer. |

Airports and airlines are notorious terror targets. There is a well known, ongoing, global problem with Islam and terrorism.
Do I have to keep explaining every single minor point, are you that dense? |

EgyptAir has already been there and done that:

I recently watched an "Air Crash Investigation" episode playing out the above scenario, scary.
Given that it hapened just off the US coast, the large number of casualties and the bizarre reason for it going down it seems oddly forgotten about. |

Seems odd there is still no sign of it yet. If it came down where they think you would have expected them to have located something by now. Its not like its a big area.

" Plane movements 'suggest incident in cockpit'
What this does suggest is that it is more of an incident in the cockpit itself of that aircraft. It does suggest it wasn't necessarily blown out of the sky by a missile potentially... it wasn't necessarily a device on board. It would suggest that the pilot has been involved in some way in an incident in the cockpit." Paul CharlesAviation analyst " http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-africa-36328976 Might explain why no radio contact and the reported swerves etc |

Some things may have got lost in translation, but the whole 'fall and swerve' business would imply evasive action to me. Just thinking about the 'fireball' video from earlier, wonder if that could be 'incoming' rather than the plane itself? |

One of my favourite programmes.
Given that it hapened just off the US coast, the large number of casualties and the bizarre reason for it going down it seems oddly forgotten about. One of the most disturbing was a UPS(?) flight were the crew was attacked, by a fellow employee, in the cockpit. How they managed to land that plane was incredible. Edit: Federal Express Flight 705 not UPS |

Surely passengers aren't allowed access to the cockpit any longer.
