CAIRO, May 6 (UPI) -- Rescuers searched the Sinai Sunday for a plane carrying members of a team responsible for security arrangements between Israel and Egypt.

The plane belonging to the Multi-National Force disappeared in clear weather about 80 miles from al-Nakheel in the Sinai, reported KUNA, the Kuwait news agency.

Authorities fear the plane may have hit a mountain before crashing, KUNA reported.

The Multi-National Force is responsible for security arrangements between Israel and Egypt, as stipulated by the Camp David peace treaty.

This one is a bit interesting.

Must be built with "Tungsten Cowhide Turbo Encabulated Titanium" and surrounded by a "Colgate Invisible Shield".

Who writes this drivel? I have yet to see a plane hitting a mountain without crashing at the same time.

Yup, that mountain was likely a MIG or a SAM?

Note that the absence of radio " May Day" broadcast or a continuing transponder beacon is a very ominous sign.

John, The AC was a twin engined Dehaviland Otter, an oversized bush plane that has a stalling speed of about 50 miles per hour, and can land and take off over the length of a football field.

Its really weird that it crashed out of control hitting a car, because an Otter can glide to a landing very safely, with no engines. The plane must have had either a catastrophic airframe failure, or a complete failure of its flight control system.

From the sound of it, the pilot was attempting to set down on a road way.

This is what us pilots refer to as a "cumulogranite"...

Yeah. That is an indicator of a very hard landing.

I know this sounds strange, but when I heard of the crash on the news, before they reported that there were soldiers on board, I just had a feeling...

Lets hope that it was a mechanical failure and not sabatoge or bullets that brought the plan down. If so, then Olmert has got to go. They need a warrior running Israel.

Islamofascist guerrillas operating in the Sinai is very bad news, if it is so.

As you probably know, Ron Brown's mountain was a .45 caliber sized hole in the top of his head.

Pics and forensic summary:

And some now want another Clinton in the White House?

Ron was going to blow the whistle on sensitive tech being sold to the Chinese, unless he got what he wanted from Clinton. The tech review had been earlier transferred from State to Commerce by the traitorous BJ Clinton.

We have seen too much and know that a plane crash is not always a plane crash.

Ronald Harmon Brown
First Lieutenant, United States Army
United States Commerce Secretary

Interesting read

The eight year reign of the Clinton’s left many dead,reputations ruined and a country divided. Now, the excopresident wants another shot at the White House.

We must not, whatever our divisions on Republican candidates, permit a Democrat to become president in 2008. Certainly not Hillary, but NO Democrat. IMHO
