Another plane missing

[DH1875]

Apparently another plane has gone missing. An Egyptian airline flying between Paris and Cairo, not looking good.

The Airbus 320 has had a range of technical difficulties - I'd read somewhere this morning that there have been 65 serious incidents (far more than terrorist incidents, which is of course, what all the media immediately reached for).

Horrendous. No-one expects a standard flight from Paris to Cairo on a reasonable standard of airline to crash. Terrible for the families of the people on board.

:agree: Computer systems, I think?

I see the aviation minister says he 'doesn't want to speculate' but then goes right on speculating about terrorism being more likely than a technical fault?

I'd say that the Egyptian government, the airline, and Airbus themselves will want it to be either a terrorist attack or pilot error; the pilot's association will want it to be terrorists or a technical fault in the plane; and the French government will want it to be either pilot error or a suicide job like EgyptAir 990. Could get messy.

Let the games begin! :devil:

The A320 is one if the safest planes in the sky - doesn't mean it wasn't mechanical though.

Serious talk of an electrical fault, but of course, it suits to keep up the terrorism story. The reaction is almost becoming as sad as the circumstances.

I think the aviation minister has been a little bit more open-minded than this

Means not a lot. The Spanish Inquisition was more tolerant and open-minded than that idiot.

In the case of EgyptAir MSR990 there was clear evidence on the CVR, backed up by the data recorded on the DFDR, that an EgyptAir pilot who wasn't actually a member of the crew had been left alone in the cockpit and had, under the stress of a personal and professional crisis, deliberately crashed the aircraft. The Egyptian authorities rejected this evidence completely out of hand and have maintained that the crash was due to a mechanical fault in the Boeing 767 for which there is no credible evidence.

EgyptAir is the national flag-carrier and in the case of MSR990 the Egyptian government seems to have been (and remains) intent on covering up irregularities in the airlines protocols and procedures.

In much the same way as the French government and the BEA "influenced" the conclusions of the inquiry into the Concorde crash. In any air crash inquiry each individual agency or body has its own agenda to a greater or lesser extent.

The Egyptian government will want to be able to blame Airbus. Their tourism sector has been halved by terrorism already.
