“Egypt air board member on CNN reporting that there were three security personnel on board.”

Like most other countries including the US, Egypt maintains an “Air Defense Identification Zone” where it controls the airspace for civil traffic and patrols militarily. This ADIZ is not the traditional naval 12 mile boundary but can extend a hundred miles or more offshore. 10 miles into Egyptian controlled airspace is nowhere close to the point where you need to begin to descend to the airport.

Egyptian airspace starts well out over the Med.

If it descended, there would have been a distress call.

The plane just disappeared from radar at 37,000 ft. No descent data. It’s there then it’s gone. This suggests a breakup of the aircraft at altitude. Mechanical fault or bomb?

The plane was coming and going from Paris. Terrorism? A time bomb could have been placed in a well hidden place while it was in Eritrea or Tunisia, set to go off hours and several flights later. Who knows?

“crashed” does not imply a controlled or planned descent necessarily

given the total absence of communication, either an in-air catastrophe (i.e., bomb) or else jihad-suicide nose dive would seem to be the likely possibilities

seems to be a desparity of information as it whether is an A320 or a Boeing 737
