Well, that's certainly news.... And points to a Shoulder-fired Missile.

If the aircraft was shot down by a MANPAD from Hillary's Libya operation, there could be real hell to pay.

I’d bet the farm on it.

Which is why the GOP has been so adamant about making Bhenghazi go away.

There is one - and only one - solution to Islam.
You know it.
I know it.
The muzzies know it.
Only liberals do not know it.

A Manpad cannot reach 30,000 feet

The GOP is 100% involved in a criminal conspiracy of TREASON
with the Clintons and Obama as they delivered
ground to air missiles to al Qaeda to murder Americans.

First I heard. Apparently subhuman towelheads have tried before.
Who are the a$$wholes who didn’t take it seriously?

Remember the savages tried to destroy WTC two times. Nobody cared to notice the first time. These are not normal people. They are uncivilized reptilians. They live to kill normal people.

That would explain why Zippy is downplaying terrorism.

So, was it a missile or a rocket? So-called journalists don’t know the difference.

Extremely irresponsible that they didn’t include this.

IT IS IMPORTANT.

Points to nothing like that. Depends on how high the plane was at. Shoulder-fired are generally not able to go above 16K feet. Certainly not the Russian Igla-S which came from Libya, and about which much has been made without any evidence (MANPADs from Hillary’s Libya operation).

Lower and could have been a simple RPG, which give the sate of the art today, the missile would have hit unless the plane was dropping flares, which it was not. Sounds like a low flying plane - landing or take off and was targeted by some guy with an RPG.

It take a very sophisticated truck mounted system like a Russian Buk or Tor to shoot down an airliner above 18K feet.

The Department for Transport confirmed the incident took place on August

Is this the first time it has been reported to the public?

Sharm El-Sheikh airport

If it really involved an unguided rocket which missed by 1,000 feet then it would have been fired CLOSE to the airport, and you can see this is not a super built-up area with lots of cover.

The attackers would be taking a pretty big gamble or they would have to be very stealthy and have a good get-away plan or some collusion with the locals.

I don’t trust, respect, or want to interact with any muslim. I recognize that not all muslims are hostile to non-believers while believing there are no moderate muslims and that they all hate us.

Someday islam will push too hard and the west will react (overreact). It wouldn’t take much for airlines to cease flying to islamic countries. This will kill Egypts tourism.

Another Another Dirty Lie By the UK Government and Zionist Mainstream Media.

1000 Feet = 304.8 Meters.

Add the passenger numbers to the distance in meters = 33

Add > 1+8+9+3+0+4+8 = 33

33 is the highest level in Scotch rite Masonry *cough*

Was the plane landing or taking off?

What was its altitude, when it avoided the missile?
