Egypt Air flight vanishes off radar

[Tortorella's Rant]

LOL. Have they found this plane or not? Earlier they were reporting they had now CNN says it hasn't been found.

Debris found Thursday in the Mediterranean Sea was not from an EgyptAir flight that vanished from radar en route from Paris to Cairo early Thursday, an airline official said.

 

Ahmed Adel, EgyptAir vice chairman, told CNN Thursday that a statement he made earlier to the network was not accurate.

"We stand corrected on finding the wreckage because what we identified is not a part of our plane," Adel told the news organization. "So the search and rescue is still going on."

 

Adel's statement added to the mounting questions as to what happened to the Airbus 320 that was carrying 56 passengers and 10 crew members, and turned global attention back to the prospect of potential terrorism.

 

Earlier, Greek officials disputed Egypt's claim that Greek authorities found floating wreckage, including two life vests, from an EgyptAir flight carrying 66 people that crashed into the Mediterranean early Thursday en route from Paris to Cairo.

EgyptAir said the Egyptian foreign ministry confirmed in a letter to the Cairo government that Greek searchers found the debris near the Greek island of Karpathos. But within an hour of that report, Athanassios Binis, head of Greece’s Air Accident Investigation and Aviation Safety Board, told state ERT TV that “an assessment of the finds showed that they do not belong to an aircraft.”

 

Binis said the determination was confirmed by Egyptian authorities, according to the Associated Press. There was no immediate response or clarification from EgyptAir.

No kidding, eh? Though to be fair this time, media was initially told that the debris was from the missing aircraft by an EgyptAir official, only to have it corrected later on by the VP of EgyptAir himself. 

CNN does have a penchant for posing a theory and making it iron clad fact 5 minutes later without anything to substantiate it though so anything you hear from them needs to be corroborated elsewhere by a more reputable source! Maybe even five.

TBH, CDC could use more edge in their game, just like the Canucks. Keep posting, love the wit and stinging sarcasm.

CAIRO—Search crews found human remains, luggage and passenger seats Friday from the EgyptAir jetliner that fell out of the sky over the Mediterranean Sea, as investigators tried to determine whether the disaster was the work of terrorists.

With no bodies to bury, relatives and friends of some of the 66 people on board held special prayers in mosques for the lost.

The passengers included two Canadians.

The mystery remained over why the Airbus A320 — which had been cruising normally in clear skies on a nighttime flight from Paris to Cairo early Thursday — suddenly lurched left and then right and plummeted into the sea, never issuing a distress signal.

Egyptian authorities said they believe it may have been an act of terrorism, as have Russian officials and some aviation experts, but so far no hard evidence has emerged.

No militant group has claimed to have brought down the aircraft. That is a contrast to the downing of a Russian jet in October over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula that killed 224 people. In that case, the Islamic State group's branch in Sinai issued a claim of responsibility within hours.

Apparently surface to air missiles can't be ruled out, as it was close enough to the coast.

What about the plane's elevation though?  Do the (terrorists) have missiles capable of getting to over 30,000 feet?

No hand held surface to air missile has that range, highly unlikely that they poses anything beyond that.

Why does/did the Charles de Gaulle airport have thirty individuals on the terror watch list working there? PCness? The French are retards? It's deliberate?

As bad as that sounds, that airport, according to this article employs over 80,000 workers with clearance to sensitive areas (plus I'm assuming many more without it). They removed that clearance from about 80 people.

 

Firstly, it's difficult to track that many people. On top of that, you can't just have someone fired because they're on a random watch list. It's quite easy to get on the French governments watch list. Anyone found making statements online or attending certain mosques ends up on the watch list. Human rights prevent the government from stripping them of their right to work without something more substantial.

No you said people who may be of simple demeanor could be working thete. 

 

You used a more colorful word though.

 

So like yourself I jumped to conclusions 

 

You assumed that Muslims blew up a plane 

 

I assume you're reta....well
