Hmmm - smoke in the lavatory? Sounds like a bomb to me.
Yah, sure. Spontaneous combustion in some muzzie’s oily shorts!
I would think the cockpit voice recorder is key here. Would shed light on pilot involvement, or not.. If there was a ‘boom’ sound..
Circuit boards are epoxied, temp-rated wiring/insulation would melt not burn. There’s nothing in avionics to burn.
In the absence of proof of a suicide bomber blowing himself/herself up in the bathroom, I still think it originated in the septic/holding tank - an explosive that reacted with or wouldn’t be affected by water, (heavy bathroom use before final approach) either placed in the tank beforehand or inserted via the toilet or galley pipes.
How hard is it to sneak a pack of matches onto an airplane? And then how hard would it be for somebody to grab a stack of paper towels and start a fire in the bathroom knowing that the bathroom is adjacent to where key electronic components are housed?
Guess they don’t have these new things called smoke detectors over there.
Flight data recorder would have nothing on it that would indicate smoke in the head
This is nonsense. Particularly since Egypt claimed they got nothing from the black boxes so they were sent to France
Maybe someone had a stinger missile in his checked baggage... and it went off.
There was smoke in the WTC on 9-11 also, but that was AFTER the towers were hit by planes.
Smoke in the avionics bay.
That may not be terrorism.
Yeh a bomb usually causes fire and smoke.
If this is Moslem, it was failed.
Moslems love to make sure everyone knows they did it, no question. That is their MO.
Likely just another accident.

A report not long after the crash said that that very aircraft had made three “emergency” landings in the 24 hours before the crash.If that’s true...and it’s easily confirmed...that argues in favor of a mechanical catastrophe.
A flare in the toilet. bets?
