EgyptAir 804 remains point to bomb: official
skynews.com.au ^

Posted on 05/24/2016 2:46:50 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

A senior Egyptian forensics official says human remains retrieved from the crash site of EgyptAir flight 804 suggest there was an explosion on board that may have brought down the aircraft.

The official is part of the Egyptian investigative team and has personally examined the remains at a Cairo morgue.

He spoke on condition of anonymity because he isn't authorised to release the information.

He says all 80 pieces brought to Cairo so far are small and that 'there isn't even a whole body part, like an arm or a head'.

I was a corporate flight attendant for a private company and when we flew to the Middle East, a private security firm was used on the ground. Armed guards would guard our plane which was parked far away from the other jets.

There are too many infiltraters at commercial airports and anyone can get something on a plane - catering, cleaning staff - and I don’t know if all crew members in different countries working for different airlines are required to go through security, so, there is that.

“...immediate assertion ... gambler...”

Trump has common sense and is not afraid to state it - we have been conditioned by the MSM to not be comfortable with a common sense reaction in the current PC media climate. Go Trump.

We have been dutifully told taught not to “jump to conclusions’ which can be a legitimate position but only up to a point. However if common sense points to the obvious, there is no reason to hold back on being straightforward with stating a reasonable scenario and not be cowed into saying nothing until the news cycle is “old” so that the likely truth surrounding the event is not stated right up front against the left’s interest, which helps them obscure news that doesn’t fall into their paradigm.

I am told that once a person is cleared to work at an airport they badge in and out and no one checks them again.

I kept looking at this large box of cans of coke coming down the aisle and thinking...

there was no one left in seats, and there were no seats. The article states that there were only small bits

That article does raise some questions.

Size of the UFO? If small, could it have been a drone?

Green lights — could they be laser beams?

According to the Turkish pilots, Flt 804 was a 17,000 and the UFO was 2-3000 above it.

According to other reports, the plane catastrophic failure started when the plane was at 35,000.

Needs more confirmation.

Could have been placed by ground personnel too.

I think that any have smart person could have made this call immediately without any inside information. This one isn’t hard to figure out.

You and your firm had the right idea. Even in the United States, I am sure there are many crew in active employment sympathetic to the Jihadi cause. It creeps me out to fly anymore. I have to get to Seattle area soon from Florida. The drive is 6 days and not a good option. So I will be flying.

Nailed it. That is the main difference between career politicians and Trump. He is not afraid to say what is obvious and is common sense.

My company had a 24 hour security team that monitored like you wouldn’t believe. We got security briefs every trip. One crew touched base to let the team know they were leaving the compound where they were staying and were alerted to a riot a few blocks away.

Wholeheartedly agree with all you said. I'd rather that we presume terrorism and then either prove or disprove it than to do everything in our power to discount terrorism no matter the evidence. The only constraint would be to not retaliate until enough credible evidence has been gleaned (then slam them so hard the world screams at the inhumanity of our response, while we tell them to stuff it) - something Trump and any sane leader would insist on anyway.

My initial concern was that he would have been proven wrong and that Hillary and the MSM would try to capitalize on it, but I believe he has a network of sources that we may not be aware of that assured him that it was a very safe bet - which the latest data seems to support, despite them still trying to say that the apparent explosion was due to mechanical failure - something so outre' in concept for modern aviation that they are really showing their hand by making up new excuses about why we shouldn't "jump to conclusions".

Agreed, but being wrong would have opened the door for them to try to hit him for being "rash with his rhetoric". probably would have only been a minor glitch because there's so many examples of pure terrorism that she and her ilk have tried to bury even after it was proven and most of us would rather have our leader look to the worst scenario from the git-go to be able to prepare if/when the assumption is proven.

I get a kick out of Hillary trying to placate the terror lovers by telling us, "That's not who we are", because it implies we should just roll over and accept the lies and the death toll like "good citizens"...I can't believe any sane person is persuaded by her faux "piousness".

My guess is that most anything hitting the water at 300-400 MPH is going to fragmented pretty severely.

It's amazing how much the investigators can tell from even the smallest pieces, and also how much they actually recover. Depends on the agency doing the investigation, I suppose, but if they are able to collect even a small portion of the plane, they will probably figure it out.

There was a documentary about the Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, and they were able to determine what kind of detonator was used; where it came from, and even who sold it to the Libyans. That debris field covered several miles.

Yep, and all the broadcast and cable “news” channels owe Donald Trump an apology for accusing him of jumping the gun.

Yes! Exactly and very well said.

We will see how quickly the liberal pro Hillary media fades this story out into oblivion ... in the same manner that happened with the Boston bombers where the perps were Muslim “asylees”, and the San Bernadino terrorist attack also carried out by radicalized Muslims.

The Tsarnaev brothers were Russian Muslims from the Chechnya region with ties to radicalized Kyrgyzstan Islam and the older one had been flagged by the FBI as a terrorist threat. They were granted asylum in the U.S. and I highly doubt properly vetted.

The point is that the media spun it to downplay these Muslim terrorist underpinnings and it all just seemed to go away, whitewashed, and the terrorist ties did not seem to be ever deeply investigated and then exposed.

This is frustrating and it will probably happen again regarding this airplane.

Anyway, i appreciate the well thought out reply.

Blow one up and buy another cheap. Increase ticket price......

“Airplanes such as this Airbus model are so popular because of their excellent fuel efficiency and low cost.”
