Totally incorrect again on this subject. No one ever reported a rapidly spreading fire. Only that smoke was reported in several areas of the aircraft because of smoke alarms going off. This "smoke" could just as easily as been from a bomb inside the aircraft. Stop spreading crap like this.

Bombs are generally quick. How would smoke alarms have time to go off in several parts of the plane?

For those who are not plane savvy, what's the usual turnaround?

I am not flight savvy, but I don't think the layover/turnaround was unusual. The aircraft flew from Eritrea, to Tunis, to Paris, and then on its way back to Cairo - in the same day. I have not heard anything about this course being unusual. It was just probably the normal, usual trend of a multi-leg flight path, with usual layover times.

Data is showing that smoke alarms were sounding for several minutes, and the reason for the plane's demise could be mechanical in nature.

""There was smoke reported in the aircraft lavatory, then smoke in the avionics bay, and over a period of three minutes the aircraft's systems shut down, so you know, that's starting to indicate that it probably wasn't a hijack, it probably wasn't a struggle in the cockpit, it's more likely a fire on board."

Could be terrorism still, but could very likely be a mechanical catastrophe. Sad either way.

Really want to know what happened here.

Debris and bodies have been found north of Alexandria, Egypt.

PLEASE STOP USING THAT TERM IMMEDIATELY. There is NO confirmation of that possibility at this time.

If you must, the correct term for speculating is "security issue."

Why? Do you seriously want people to not use the word terrorism because it might hurt a terrorists feelings?

+1 Ridiculous. Potential Terrorism.

Jeff shut down another thread on this because someone used the word terrorism. To,erance knows no bounds

Liar. Your reading comprehension knows bounds. Very low bounds.

r

Political forum. Under the guide of "we don't know enough" after someone mentioned the possibility of terrorism

Try again. As I said, your reading comprehension knows very low bounds.

"Not only is is premature to call it a hijacking, there are any number of scenarios more likely than that one. So, I'm going to lock this thread" - Jeff Steele

Hijacking isn't terrorism?

Hijacking is a form of terrorism. But, not the only form and not the likely form in this case. Is there any evidence whatsoever that this airplane was hijacked? The other thread was locked because there was an existing thread (this one) and because the subject line described the event as a "hijacking". Your claim that I locked the thread because the word "terrorism" was used was not factual. You are free to apologize for your error at any time.

I believe that you locked it because people went to terrorism and you, typically, like to say 'it's not Islamic terrorism, it's a crazy person or lone wolf'. That is your M.O. The word terrorism was definitely part of why you locked the thread, and if you had one once of honesty in your soul, you would admit that you felt frustrated that people were being 'Islamophobic'

It doesn't really matter what you believe. I am telling you what it true. I was very clear in my message that I objected to the incident being described as a "hijacking". Unlike you who enjoy posting fake news articles, I like post subject lines to be accurate. Terrorism has been discussed in this thread many times and I have not done anything about it.

For no reason whatsoever, you chose to attack me in this thread. I hadn't even posted in the thread up to that point. On top of that, your attack was inaccurate. Now, you want to substitute your beliefs for reality. You are a very strange person and I really wish that you would stop participating in this website if you can not do so in a more constructive manner.

And there is also the possibility of it being a form of workplace violence.

Terrorisism, unless you feel the individuals on board went 'oh, it's fine. It's just a nutter or really angry person'. From Paris to Egypt? Not rocket science

I can't believe we are arguing politics and PC language in a thread about the deaths of 66 people.

Classy.

Has anyone taken credit for it?
