EgyptAir Flight 804 Missing

[mancini79]

Another flight gone missing. We will now be seeing the exact same map with experts pointing at it giving different theories. Riveting news.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

In two years, someone will allegedly find a piece of it on a beach thousands of miles away.

I didn't see this before putting a tag post on the aviation thread.

Wonder who could be responsible. I am going with either the Mongolians or the !Kung.

thanks, obama!

If my flight tomorrow morning goes missing, I've enjoyed all of you!

Just reading about this. Sad, and scary. I fly a lot, and ive always had an innate fear of crashing into the sea. 

[arch stanton]

Won't be much suspense here. The Mediterranean isn't that big or deep and I guarantee you that at least 3 military organizations tracked it all the way to impact.

He insulted peaceful Muslims, who got mad and blew up the plane. Absolutely his fault.

amazing.

how in the f*ck can they lose an entire plane?

i worked on global navigation satellite systems for a defense contractor in HS, and the tech then was pretty insane that we could track within a few meters. i would assume it's exponentially better now. pretty wild that an entire aircraft could just go "poof" like that. some keyzer soze sh*t.

The airline has confirmed that they found the wreckage. 

To your point though, I've always been of the believe that we (the US military) knows exactly where these planes are.  They just don't really say because they don't want other countries to know we have the technology.  Even though I'm pretty sure everyone knows we have this technology.

can i blame this on corey perry?

[fan_since79]

Now they're saying it's not the wreckage.

Here we go again, another 'mystery' that CNN will cover 24/7 for a few weeks. Trump bashing is getting overdone.

Yeah, I can't believe that they haven't found this thing yet.  You would think one of Israel, US Navy, or Russian Navy would have seen where it ended up. 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Obviously terrorists are building their own fleet of jets. 

[gotbeer]

What I find odd about this crash.  No one has claimed responsibility.  Everyone is also claiming it isn't a malfunction.  And they can't find this, in an area that has US Navy ships, Russian warships, and Israel.

The conspiracy theorist in me is saying that someone shot it down, and they are covering their tracks.  And the only one big enough to do it is Trumpville.

[arch stanton]

If it was shot down it was by someone who waited for it to enter Egyptian airspace.  I'm 100% sure that at least 3 different military organizations knew what was in the area that had the capability to hit a night target at 37,000 feet. 

[fan_since79]

The plane apparently made a sudden sharp turn to the left followed by a 360-degree turn to the right, then the plunge into the sea.

Struggle in the cockpit??

gotta be the turks.

those crazy ottomans have been looking for a chance to get back to power on the world stage for decades.

EgyptAir flight data show smoke alerts before crash: Source

Sounds like they may have found it.  Or at least have a general idea of where it is.

[mp170.6]

Avherald posted some ACARS messages that were sent by the plane before the crash.  Keep in mind this isn't the whole story because they didn't lose contact until 00:32Z, three minutes after the last message.
