"The French woman has been identified as the wife of France's ambassador to Lebanon, AFP reported airport officials as saying"
The lastest news is that there are six survivors

The lastest news is that there are six survivorsAre you sure? CNN says, " By Monday morning, crews had found nine bodies, but no survivors" ... which frankly sounds more plausible.

I am not sure, I just heard that on Press TV from their reporter in Beirut.
There is usually a lot of misinformation until you get something from an official spokesman and even then who knows.

I will not deny that I may have misheard the reporter talking about survivors or bodies found.
I think I may have to get an hearing aid. :)

I just heard it again and they said ten bodies and “there are reports of six survivors.”
So nothing is confirmed.

I've flown both EgyptAir and Air Tanzania and I can assure y'all that both flights were harrowing experiences.I've since vowed never again to fly a Third World airline.

Wonder if there were any Muslims aboard. I'll take a wild guess and say that there was at least one muslim male with a one-way ticket.

Actually I’d bet that it wasn’t a terrorist act. Taking off from Lebanon with a minimum of Europeans and Americans? Unless its some sort of internecine Lebanese thing.
To: Gay State Conservative
oh, no kidding! Air Niger, 1988.
We flew in chicken and goat section, which is like coach here in the US.
Never again!

I've flown both EgyptAir and Air Tanzania and I can assure y'all that both flights were harrowing experiences. I've flown EgyptAir and it was as boring as an American carrier. The safety video was quite amusing when it can to the oxygen masks, though -- the video shows the mask falling down and slowly bobbing three times with the middle-eastern man's head bobbing to track it before he grabs the mask.

Isn’t this the same airline that several years ago had one of the crew, navigator IIRC, purposely fly the plane straight down into the ocean while yelling “Allah akbar” ?

To: WhistlingPastTheGraveyard
Thanks! At least Egypt and Ethiopia both starts with the letter “E” :-)
