Accident Number.:
DCA00MA006
Operator/Flight Number:
EgyptAir flight 990
Aircraft and Registration:
Boeing 767-366ER, SU-GAP
Location: 60 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts
Date:
October 31, 1999
Adopted On:
March 13, 2002
The first news of the crash indicated that flight 990 stopped at Nellis AFB to board about 30 Egyptian army officers who had participated in a joint training exercise. This information was deleted from all subsequent reports. My theory is that jihadists took the aircraft down to send a message to the Egyptian government.
The conspiracy obsessed Arabs claimed that it was an act by the CIA to get rid of the 32 Egyptian officers on board!
