EGYPTIAN AIRLINER EXPLODES MID-AIR, CRASHES INTO MEDITERRANEAN: TERRORISM NOT RULED OUT:
Posted onEgyptAir flight MS804 from Paris to Cairo disappeared from radar early Thurs. morning 19 May 2016. Egyptian officials believe that a mid-air explosion caused the plane to crash into the Mediterranean. Egypt's Sherif Ismail said all possible causes of the explosion were being examined - including terrorism. Airline officials stated that the plane's emergency beacon had been detected some two hours after the last radar contact. The crew of a ship not far from the plane's last known location claimed to have seen a huge fireball in the sky. In the middle of the flight, radio contact with the plane was lost, and the flight disappeared from radar. Officials said they were not ruling out terrorism as a possible cause of the crash. Last October an Airbus A321 jetliner operated by the Russian Metrojet company crashed in the Sinai Peninsula, likely the result of a bomb smuggled onboard by ISIS terrorists. An EgyptAir mechanic with ties to ISIS is suspected of sneaking the bomb onto the Metrojet plane. (Arutz-7)
