Someone in my office is from the Netherlands. He read the article in Dutch and says picture was about the 1999 Egypt-Air crash, where the pilot went into the sea, and they are honoring the pilot who died. He says it's purely coincidence.

What about the other one?

Interesting. But why honor him with a picture of the Statue of Liberty and a huge fireball in the background when the Egypt-Air plane crashed elsewhere (near Nantucket)? Oh, the plane was flying from New York to Cairo. Hmmm.

But Egypt Air flight 990 crashed off the coast of Massachusetts, not in NY harbor. It did so, however, shortly after taking off from New York for Cairo. The poster is at least suggesting that the plane went down in the harbor. Poetic license? Anyway, the crash killed all 217 people on board. US opinion was suicide. Others said accident. Others said bomb. Obviously, if this poster is honoring the pilot, the persons who created it were not thinking suicide. Maybe, but probably not accident either. And if a bomb, why would it just be honoring the pilot? Something seems to be missing in your friend's story.

The Egypt Air crash occurred October 31 1999. Can anyone absolutely confirm that the calendar page shown is the one from September?
