'The weather was clear in Sharm el-Sheikh and other flights were taking off without incident, officials said.'
Despite early reports, weather does not seem to be a factor here. No crash or explosion was heard and there was no distress call.

On the Euro channels (I think primarily Sky and/or the CNN out of London), there have been a zillion ads hyping this resort region as the "Red Sea Riviera". These ads were ubiquitous in November and Decemember, like Florida and Caribbean ads are in New England in the dead of winter.
Sharm El-Sheik, home to peace treaties from hell, the kind that crash and burn on take-off.

'American noose tightens around Syria'....I like the sound of that.

It will be interesting to see the flight mainifest of who's who onboard this plane.... Usually, important people like an entire class of Egyptian Military officers just graduating from a school in the US a few years back.....

Yup
German tourists at the pyramids
Chewed up by insane Fruitcakes of Islam terrorists
I recall seeing that videotape on TV
Pretty raw ruthless stuff
Canaries in the mine
Sure makes you wonder about the Germans
Clinton said zip about it
Our US press hardly touched it
Kick the can

The plane disappeared from the radar screens of Cairo airport at 4:44 am (0244 GMT), minutes after taking off from the Red Sea resort's airport, the civil aviation authority said. ~ the private Egyptian company Air Flash ~
I just made a comment about Sharm el Sheik's relationship to crashing and burning peace treaties, and then I saw this. *At the same time* the Concorde ("peace treaty") crashed and burned on take-off, it was announced that the Camp David II talks had failed...
Concorde flight AF4590 crashed shortly after take off from Charles De Gaulle aiport, outside Paris on July 25, 2000 at about 4:44 p.m.

Hmmm, I wonder what's going on in the peace treaty realm...
Maybe the answer is at post 64.

Thanks
I'll see what else I can come up with on it
I have some audio and graphics but I need details and more raw material to come up with a good compostite graphic
People forget quickly
See the reply I got on this thread that refers to the German tourists slaughtered at the pyramids by insane Fruitcakes of Islam terrorists
That other post about trying to ransom RFK's Islamic assassin Sirhan Sirhan for two US diplomats is another dusty one under the carpet
Text and "Cut & Pastes" of old stories are good, but people need to see and hear things to stir their emotions and wake their cowardly butts up

Seeing that video was a turning point in my path from being a Democrat to a Republican. I wasn't fond of Clintoon -- I didn't trust him but didn't hate him. However, after seeing that video, although it was only shown a couple of times, I started to vehemently despise him and, a few months later, I switched to the Republican party.
Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane. :)
Muslims Protest Ban on Head Scarves

Paris -- About 3,000 people, mainly Muslim women, marched through Paris Sunday to protest a presidential proposal to ban Islamic head scarves from public schools.
The protest was the first in Paris against President Jacques Chirac's announcement Wednesday that head scarves and other conspicuous religious symbols, including Jewish skullcaps and large Christian crosses, should be banned from schools to protect French secularism.

World Tourists massacred at temple (source BBC)
More than 60 people have been killed at one of Egypt's most popular tourist attractions. Most of the casualties were Japanese, Swiss and German tourists. Three Britons were among the dead.
Gunmen fired on them as they visited the temple of Hatshepsut in the town of Luxor. Dozens were gunned down.
A two-hour gunbattle followed, as the assailants, believed to be Islamic extremists, tried to escape into nearby ravines...
