BBC update:

An Egyptian charter plane with about 141 passengers and crew has crashed after disappearing from radar screens, according to airport officials.
The plane, belonging to Flash Air, is reported to have crashed into the Red Sea, killing everyone on board.

It is believed most of the passengers were French tourists.

The aircraft took off early on Saturday morning from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Cairo airport officials said.



The Egyptian news agency Mena said the plane disappeared minutes after taking off.

Other reports quoted aviation officials as saying wreckage had been spotted in the sea.

Aviation officials in Cairo said the crash was probably an accident.

A UK Government spokesman told the BBC that the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was safe and well. He has been on a family holiday in the Sharm -el -Sheikh area since before Christmas.

"The Egyptian news agency Mena" see there's always a clinton connection or coincidence. in this case a news agency named after clinton's cocaine farm.

Aviation officials in Cairo said the crash was probably an accident.

Which proves they're already lying since they can't possibly know that yet

Reminds me of the head of the NTSB who went on TV and said that the Flight 587 crash was not caused by terrorism even though NTSB investigators had not yet even reached the crash site

Tony Blair is in that area???
