Title: Missing plane

My first reaction was " omg another one!"

My other half thought my reaction OTT.

It just feels to me like it happens a lot, but I suppose it doesn't really.

Flying in a jet isn't something I enjoy  :o

Another set of relatives hoping and praying desperately  :(

Egyptian authorities are saying it is definitely terrorism, although I don't know how they can be sure.

Interesting information that hasn't appeared in the mainstream press yet:

Sounds as though it's another bunch of nutters up to their usual tricks again, pending on further evidence of course.

And so, probably, did dozens of others.

The aircraft was on a regular route under Greek and Egyptian ATC until it fell out of the sky. At about 35,000 feet it would have been well above any military exercise activity.

A confabulation of a"news" story filled with suppositions and speculation. A red herring.

Those 'nutters' being 'conspiracy theorists', I assume?  After all, the latest information re. smoke in a toilet and the cockpit, sounds more like mechanical issues than terrorism.  The latter is usually located in a single place.

INDEED NOW they've found the signals saying all about the plane swerves too which a bomb going off is contradictory to !!!

Obviously a Red Herring. We all know that military missiles are so carefully controlled they could never inadvertently shoot down a civilian aircraft . . . . don't we . . . ?

I think that you are being a little hyperbolic here. There is a difference between a military exercise and a group of freelance nutters playing with presents from Uncle Putin. This does not mean that the eastern Mediterranean is free of freelance nutters - far from it.

Nutters being terrorists I would have thought.

Read today that the smoke detectors went off in the toilet and the cockpit but that this could well have been triggered by mist formed due to a rapid depressurisation. Other indications of cockpit windows being blow out - causing that depressurisation.

I did originally, and have done again.  Don't see any reason to change my position.
