They always make a distress call saying were crashing Yea that's the worrying part, this signal they think is from an automated distress signal from an emergency locator beacon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the B777 and A320 have very outstanding safety records by the way, one of the safest airliners by Boeing and Airbus respectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

llbcherry 591 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Airplane/wreckage has not been found. Crash only assumed as quoted from an anonymous source. Yet to be confirmed officially. Many boats and planes are searching. The plane was at 37,000 ft when it went off radar. They lost no altitude before "disappearing." This combined with the lack of a distress call leads to something very suddenly going wrong. Can not rule out a bomb or missile. A few years back, a plane was hit by a missile and crashed on the Sinain peninsula.. or something like that, killing all on board. No one has claimed responsibility for this plane disappearing, however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
llbcherry 591 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 So much conflicting information. They have been saying it went off radar at 37,000 ft, but now, suddenly, this: "'EgyptAir jet went into a 'sharp spin' and fell 22,000ft before vanishing from radar' says Greek defence minister – as air safety chief says crash was 'almost certainly a terror attack.'"http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3598117/EgyptAir-flight-MS804-Paris-Cairo-goes-missing.html#ixzz496JR5eJT I'm unsure how this information came to light, since it contradicts the previous reports.

SlaeUrAnus 16,111 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I hope I am wrong, but this isn't going to be a 'glitch' in the radar system... Plus, Air Safety Chief says it was 'almost certainly a terror attack'. In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
