    Let's look at the facts ...

    Flight by EgyptAir = history of issues with their flights
    Flight from Paris = scene of some of the bigger issues as of late

    Too early to jump from conclusions, but to think that there's not at least a reasonable chance of pilot suicide, hijacking, etc. is being naïve.

    WSJ: EgyptAir Flight 804 Wreckage Found in Mediterranean; Terror Called ‘Higher Possibility’

    The wreckage of an EgyptAir plane carrying 66 passengers and crew has been found in the Mediterranean Sea, the airline said Thursday, hours after it disappeared in what Egypt officials said was a downing more likely caused by terrorism than technical malfunction.

    The airline said life jackets and other objects were found floating near the Greek island of Karpathos and that searches were underway for more parts of the downed jet. It said the information had been verified by Egypt’s ministry of foreign affairs.

    Flight 804 disappeared from radar screens en route to Cairo from Paris after making “abrupt turns” and losing altitude suddenly, Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos said. He said the Airbus A320 veered 90 degrees off course and then rotated a full 360 degrees as it plunged from 37,000 feet to below 20,000 feet before vanishing from the screens.

    Egyptian Aviation Minister Sherif Fathi told reporters in Cairo that a terrorist attack was “a higher possibility” for the plane’s disappearance than a technical problem.

    French President François Hollande said the airliner “went down and is lost.” He said no possible cause was being ruled out.


    “Once we know the whole truth we must draw conclusions, whether it’s an accident or another theory on everyone’s mind, which could be terrorism,” the French leader said.

    The crew of a Greek merchant ship said they saw what resembled “an explosion that lit up the sky” some 130 miles south of the island of Karpathos in the Aegean Sea, according to the Greek navy, which said it was investigating the report.

    It is interesting that ISIS has not claimed responsibility (as of now). In the past attacks they've carried out, they've typically publicly claimed responsibility within ten hours of the incident. Charles de Gaulle Airport also has pretty strict security, so it wouldn't make sense for ISIS to invest in a very highly coordinated plan of attack to bring down a small commuter flight of only 56 passengers.

    But I'm not saying that ISIS didn't do this, so don't twist.

    It doesn't take much ... there was a flight a number of years ago where the crash was caused by pilot suicide ... I'm thinking that's the most likely theory at this point ... and that doesn't mean that it wasn't terror driven.

    It was a bomb. Everyone was saying so out of the gate given that there was no warning.

    Just gone.

    CNN confirmed it almost immediately with two separate US intelligence officials. NBC News did as well.

    Hillary Clinton said it appears to be a terrorist act.

    then ... Donald Trump tweeted it and #teamhondo suddenly launches a coordinated denial from the FBI director

    Greek officials just released a statement denying that the wreckage is from a plane crash, but as usual people would rather be first than right.
