Act of Terror?

[bowclan]

Egypt strongly believes the latest downed plane was an act of terrorism. GOOD GUESS!!!!

Long time ago I really wanted to tour the Pyramids, never had a chance. But, I had changed my mind a lot about that after 9/11. No way Jose'.

I went thru the Suez twice and I'm glad I got to experience it, but I felt uncomfortable the whole time. Kinda like a floating duck so to speak.

First trip thru we had to moor to a buoy in Port Siad at night waiting for ships coming into the Med. I REALLY didn't like that!

And good Ole Crooked Hillary yesterday had to slam what Trump said about banning Muslims. Of course she forgot the temporary part until Washington could sort it out properly. She just helped Trump with her PC bullshit.

I was sick of the news coverage of the Egyptian plane almost immediately.

Here's what I want out of news reporters:

1) Tell of the event.
2) Report of the cause when discovered.
3) In between the two, shut up.

I am on board with that. It gets run to the ground for me before my 2nd cup of coffee!!!

I'm going out on a limb and saying that it was mechanical failure of some sort, and not terrorism.

Odd, I would have thought you'd guess aliens.

Wasn't there a known issue with the rudder on the A320? I agree with Talon . I think an issue with vertical stabilizer or rudder.

The widely used Airbus A320 airliner has a flaw in its rudder system similar to a problem that helped trigger the second worst crash in U.S. history, federal accident investigators said Friday.

It may have been a failure of some sort. There were some strange Maneuvers before the crash.

HOWEVER, we are talking about Egypt.

Would that tear a plane apart so quickly that the pilots didn't have time to send a mayday?

Good point!

I do agree with halting ALL immigration for about five years though.

Remember when that Chinese fighter collided with our P-3 spy plane during Bush years?

You know what the crew was doing as it was falling out of the sky.
