New info on the Red Sea Crash from a poster on Airliners.net (unknown credibility):

According to the Al-Ahram,An Egyptian news paper, and from the ATC of Sharm AL shake, the aircraft was at 5500 Feet when all the sudden the radar showed that the aircraft started shifting hard to right and left and then dropped 200 feet then started descending to 4000 feet then disappeared. Another interesting thing is the The F/O of the previous flight from Italy to Sharm just before the accident indicated that the aircraft was perfectly fine and working fine with no problems at the long flight from Italy to sharm. The aircraft received a C/d check four month ago. And was leased from ILFC For five years. The victims Included 133 French tourist , one Moracan, one Japanese and 13 crew member in which 6 were on duty and the other 6 were not.

The 6 off-duty Egyptian crew members scare me the most - it was an off-duty crewman who dove Egypt Air 990 into the sea . . .

Also, the text on that Red Sea/Bloody Hand image said something about watching the battles on the Arabian Island . . . there are numerous small islands in the area of the plane crash . . . some are in Saudi Arabian territory (although the term Arabian Island apparently sometimes refers to the whole of the Arabian Peninsula) . . .
