My lifelomg background in aviation leads me to side 100% with Donald Trump and his immediate, “terrorist caused” assessment of the Egypt Air devastating incident of the needless, slaughter, murder of 66 innocents. The chances of a structural, electrical, internal airframe failure at cruising altitude (37,000 feet) is very rare, to say the least.
Armed with the knowledge of the “ACAR” system failure alerts....all surrounding the nose or, foward cockpit section, of this aircraft, coupled with the now known “shady” past of the Captain, leads me to believe that the Captain & maybe also the first officer flying this airplane,....set a deadly device off in the cockpit or forward lavatory area which then disabled the computors that control all flight activity and doomed the aircraft to destruction. It would take only, literally minutes to totally destroy any manual inputs to save the airplane.
I think it wise for Egyptian authorities to probe deeply into the backgrounds of both the airmen flying this aircraft. Two things stand out clearly. The deteroiation of the nose section, E&E avionics & computor compartment, the total flight regime,disruption in the cockpit, and neither airmen made any attempt to call out a “Mayday”!!! Why? Simply because they had no reason to alert anyone to what they had just done!!!
I have been watching each cable news network and their useless blabber, accompanied by guests,....who have not one iota of an idea, what went on here. Had to turn them off because dialogue substance and fact was sickening. At the end of the day, the world will sse and find out that the Muslim Brotherhood, loved by Obama & Clinton, were behind this horrible, uncalled for human slaughter!!! Wake up, Americans......your time is running out!!!
Americans...if you get your daily news from these Tv sources...you are not only ill informed....but, are being played for the fools you are!!! DJT....you were right on the money. Go Donald J. Trump!!!
The safety of the Airbus is at stake. The airlines have a financial interest in assuring the flying public that security at the airports is working and effective. The Egyptian airlines and tourist industry are at stake. Governments don 't want to panic the public and discourage them from flying hurting international business and tourism.
I wonder how much information will be revealed to the public on what actually happened. Or how that information will be spun.
Great post and just another reason we need to reclassify the MB as a terror group instead of installing them in our military.
Thanks for your perspective.
You have as much right, with your experience, to give an opinion, as some of these “so called friend experts” who we are supposed to take at face value really know what they are talking about.
I trust your take 100% over theirs as you point out the other vitals ... No Mayday for example
