EgyptAir Crash: Flight Data Seems to 'Point Toward a Bomb' as First Images of Debris Emerge
The Daily Telegraph ^ | 5/21/16 | Raf Sanchez

Data from the final moments before EgyptAir flight MS804 crashed into the Mediterranean suggest an "internal explosion" tore through the right side of the aircraft, a pilot said last night.

Investigators trying to determine whether the A320 was brought down by terrorism or a technical fault are poring over a series of warnings indicating smoke filled the cabin shortly before it disappeared from radar.

French authorities confirmed that smoke detectors went off aboard the flight a few minutes before it crashed but said it was not clear what caused the smoke or fire.

A commercial pilot with a major European airline told The Telegraph that other parts of the data log suggested that windows in the right side of the cockpit were blown out by an explosion inside the aircraft.

"It looks like the right front and side window were blown out, most probably from inside out," said the pilot, who flies an A330 similar to the crashed A320 and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The data was taken from the plane's Acars system, which sends short transmissions from the aircraft to receivers on the ground.

Until investigators find the aircraft's black boxes, which are still missing in the Mediterannean, the Acars offers the best sens on what was happening aboard.

Three different warnings showed there were faults in the windows next to the co-pilot, suggesting they could have been blasted outwards by an onboard bomb. That does not mean the explosion came from the cockpit but indicates the right side of the plane was more badly damaged than the left.

The pilot suggested the smoke detectors may have been triggered not fire but by fog which filled the cabin as it lost air pressure in the moments after the explosion

Listening to one of the airplane analysts. He said we assume terrorism FIRST because it is the easiest to prove with the data we do have.

Airplane accidents are just soooooooooo rare.

The article does say the data can be interpreted as being the result of a bomb.

And there are many pics of recovered debris

Those that follow the cult of islam should never be allowed near normal people or anything normal people use.

They should also be sterilized the first time they bow to mecca with their anuses in the air.

Any plane carrying or piloted by a Muslim should be considered defective by definition.

It is not a French airliner. Egypt Air a Muslim carrier. Just maybe it is French Nationals doing the terrorism. The usual suspects are silent.

I thought I have been listening to FOX every day. Not sure now as I have heard every possible scenario for the disaster. The amusing part is that all the other stations are doing the same - and none know what they are talking about - same as this thread.

I keep waiting for a marketing savvy airline to offer Mooslim free flights. No pilots, flight crew, ground crew, etc. are Muslim with no flights to or from jihadi-prone countries. It would be a hell of a campaign and one could charge a premium for the privilege.

Crisis management. The only thing that makes sense is to assume it's a bomb, since terrorists have broadcast their intention to bomb planes. Without that assumption, there won't be necessary precautions in case they have follow up events on the table.

If it's proven otherwise, the exercise of investigating potential weaknesses in procedures certainly didn't do any harm.

At this point, I am going to assume that anything that looks like mass murder by muslims is mass murder by muslims until someone can prove beyond ANY DOUBT AT ALL that it was not.

They have earned their reputation.

The reported evasive maneuvers of the pilot : a missile.
Missiles have bombs. A standard military type would have to have it’s proximity fuse changed so the explosion wouldn’t happen outside the craft. Shouldn’t be hard to do.
Maybe put an anti-tank warhead on it.
No doubt we’ve sent all the necessary ingredients to our allies in Syria.

Note to self:

Never fly on an aircraft piloted by two guys who are both named named Muhamed.
