[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thought of a plane with a bomb on board that originated from CDG is incredibly frightening.  They have very good security.[/quote]

While it's very likely this was just an accident, this plane was on its 5 flight of the day. It had previously been in Tunisia and Eritrea. Could have easily been a timed device was hidden somewhere before CDG.[/quote]

Aviation experts have told AFP that the chances of a mechanical malfunction in the case of Thursday's EgyptAir disappearance are slim.

"A major technical fault - the explosion of a motor, for instance - seems improbable," said aeronautics expert Gerard Feldzer, underlining that the A320 in question was "relatively new", having entered service in 2003.

"In addition, the A320 has an excellent safety record as the best-selling, medium-range airliner in the world. An A320 takes off or lands every 30 seconds around the world."

"It's a modern plane, the incident happened in mid-flight in extremely stable conditions. The quality of the maintenance and the quality of the plane are not in question in this incident," Jean-Paul Troadec, former director of France's aviation Bureau of Investigation and Analysis, told Europe 1 radio.

Egyptair "is a company with authorisation to operate in Europe, so it is not on any blacklist," he added.
