Egypt still has the Muslim Brotherhood imprisoned. I believe some leadership sentenced to death. The Egyptian government has rebuilt the Christian churches destroyed by the Muslim Brotherhood with Obama’s support and encouragement. The Egyptian president, al Sisi, has attended Christmas Eve Mass with the Coptics and last year apologized because they had not completed the work and pledged his protection. Radical Muslims hate present day Egypt with a passion.

The Egyptian airliner down last night proves the point, IMO.

Only Egypt and Russia are providing support for Christians in the ME. Egypt in their country and Russia in Syria - that’s it!

Ummmmm, so an Airbus 300/310 that loses its rudder and other empennage is made by a different maker than the Airbus A320????

“Ummmmm, so an Airbus 300/310 that loses its rudder and other empennage is made by a different maker than the Airbus A320????”

No common parts. And not likely assembled in the same country or by the same workers. This Airbus was assembled in Germany, where was the A300 in your example assembled (Hint, they speak French at that plant).

Does a Ford F150 have the same problems as a Ford Taurus?

Yes, actually, they did - where Ford used the same processes and same general philosophies. Both had problems with unintended acceleration due to an idiotically designed cruise control module type, both had problems with alternator fires despite the alternators not being identical, both had problems with headlight switches burning up due to idiotic design ideas.

It is a good thing that flying machines aren’t designed by Dearborn engineers.

The head of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has said the missing EgyptAir Flight MS804 was “in all likelihood” brought down by an act of terrorism.

The FSB’s Alexander Bortnikov also revealed officers thwarted a “Paris-style” terror attack in Russia on the May Bank Holiday weekend.

CNN analyst David {?} was talking about other planes that experienced bombs. He mentioned “TWA” and then quickly corrected himself to the Lockerbie incident.

hmmmm.

It’s just as likely an attempted to take over the plane. Why then ? Israel is very nearby.

“A few days ago, someone painted on the aircraft black ink inscription in Arabic: “The next murder will be the registration number SU-GCC”

So, it appears this particular airplane was targeted. Someone obviously had access to the plane to leave a message on it, placing a device, just as easy.,

Now, if this plane had taken off from an Islamic country, I would immediately and seriously consider terrorism.

One has to check what is the maintenance records for that plane. If the plane was not properly maintained, a mechanical failure or a cabin pressurization failure that damaged the fly-by-wire system have to be considered.

“In all likelihood brought down by an act of terrorism.” Why is no one suggesting the possibility of a missile? The fact that the plane swerved, perhaps prior to exploding might indicate that the pilots attempted to avoid something.

Not to mention just the pricetag of a missile capable of intercepting a speeding jetliner at 37,000-feet has to cost a fortune...even more so purchasing through unofficial channels.

The aircraft did take-off from an Islamic country. It departed from France.
