according to Australia’s ABC, unnamed Egyptian officials believe that Egyptair 804 crashed into the Mediterranean

As opposed to the Atlantic?

Some on Twitter saying there may have been a VIP or a dignitary on board.

Wouldn’t a nose dive show descent? They keep reporting there was no descent picked up.

Or suicide by pilot.

Possibility. Remember Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz and his suicide mission.

According to airliners.net, the radar transponder on the plane, picked up by Flight24, has good coverage at that altitude and area of the Med. Sea. If the plane was intact, and descended, it would show up on the radar transponder. The plane just went dead at 37,000 ft. It either broke up in flight (mechanical defect or bomb) or lost all power to the radar transponder.

The pilot didn’t make any distress calls either. It again suggests maybe an instant breakup of the plane for whatever reason.

Based on your map I’d say it extends out about 170 miles into the Med. Maybe the earlier reports of the aircraft being 40 minutes from Athens are good.

Here’s a link to MarineTraffic.net. There are live maps of the Med. Sea in the crash area. Look at all the ship traffic. If the plane went down in flames at night (2:30am), a ship must have seen something:

There s no way a modern airliner just comes apart in midair. If the airplane is squawking one second and not the next, it’s a pretty safe bet it exploded.
There are back up systems that will still work during a catastrophe, like a steep dive for the deck or a structural failure.

It’s real busy in that area because of the bottleneck created by the suez. There’s a lot of traffic. I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t have a cell phone video or two in the next couple of days of the crash once these ships crew members get to a port with wifi.

A “bunch”?

Only a single Muslim is more than enough to keep me off a plane.

In the case of the EgyptAir suicide pilot and GermanWings, the planes didn’t just disappear from radar. They showed a dive in both cases. This plane today just disappeared from radar at altitude with no dive indicated. This suggests an aircraft breakup at altitude.
