16" hole in the fuselage and wire on the runway!!!! And he didn't want to file an accident report and take off again. What is going on with Egyptian pilots, are they all on a suicide mission suddenly??

This wire can't just have fallen off there. I would think if he had flown in that way there should have been a difference in the way this plane flew. A pilot can tell the smallest change in the way his plane handles.

It's too bad the news media had gone to sleep. Right now MSNBC has on Joey Buttafuco (yuck), and Fox is back on with their election 2004.....snoooooooooozzzzz. I have been driven lately to CNN (ugh) for news from around the world.

No way I'd be flying any Egyptian airline these days. Nor would I fly with any "French tourists". I'm probably just being hysterical though, right? LOL
