The airport is about 90 mile from the coast
I’m also watching Fox. This anchor babe is really good. She should get a day shift. Never seen her before.
Trump warned y’all in Europe.
I’m watching CNN, I’m Guessing some of these are the international reporters due to the English accents.
Now I will look at your babe on Fox... Not showing her, just the Mediterranean map.
The Egypt Air A320 had five flights today according to Flight24.
ASM-CAI (Asmara International Airport, Eritrea to Cairo, Egypt)
CAI-TUN (Cairo, Egypt to Tunis–Carthage International Airport, Tunisia)
TUN-CAI (Tunis–Carthage International Airport, Tunisia to Cairo, Egypt)
CAI-CDG (Cairo, Egypt to Charles DeGaulle Airport, Paris, France)
CDG-CAI (Charles DeGaulle Airport, Paris, France to Cairo, Egypt - disappeared enroute)
Wouldn’t a plane be descending that close to its destination?>>> kinda appears to have done that.
“Egypt air board member on CNN reporting that there were three security personnel on board.”
they are probably the ones that did it.
“BREAKING NEWS Egyptian officials believe EgyptAir plane missing en route from Paris crashed into the Mediterranean”
BREAKING
according to Australia’s ABC, unnamed Egyptian officials believe that Egyptair 804 crashed into the Mediterranean
Hm, which would be the weakest link? Tunisia?
it is on their website’s news ticker now
Ping
Like most other countries including the US, Egypt maintains an “Air Defense Identification Zone” where it controls the airspace for civil traffic and patrols militarily. This ADIZ is not the traditional naval 12 mile boundary but can extend a hundred miles or more offshore. 10 miles into Egyptian controlled airspace is nowhere close to the point where you need to begin to descend to the airport.

Egyptian airspace starts well out over the Med.
If it descended, there would have been a distress call.
The plane just disappeared from radar at 37,000 ft. No descent data. It’s there then it’s gone. This suggests a breakup of the aircraft at altitude. Mechanical fault or bomb?
The plane was coming and going from Paris. Terrorism? A time bomb could have been placed in a well hidden place while it was in Eritrea or Tunisia, set to go off hours and several flights later. Who knows?
Thank you
“crashed” does not imply a controlled or planned descent necessarily
given the total absence of communication, either an in-air catastrophe (i.e., bomb) or else jihad-suicide nose dive would seem to be the likely possibilities
You forgot your sarc tag

(apparent CNN feed)
seems to be a desparity of information as it whether is an A320 or a Boeing 737
