I see the only hope for truth on this crash getting out to be the Boeing team, since they have a vested interest in making sure the aircraft itself isn't wrongly blamed . . . given that the Egyptian government says no terrorism is possible in Egypt (tell that to Anwar Sadat), the Egyptians certainly won't be interested in finding the "truth" . . .

Hopefully the last thing the pilot said was not "Allah Akbar", like that other Egyptian pilot a while back.

"But I don't think it was a terrorist act because there's no possibility for that in Sharm el-Sheik or anywhere else in Egypt," Mubarak told reporters in the northern city of Alexandria.

What an incredibly revealing thing to say.
