Honestly! Damaged by a crash?

Why don't they engineer these things to withstand a crash?? Engineers are dumb.

Airplanes are old. This one was from 2003, a relatively young aircraft. They stay in service for decades.

I believe one if not both were damaged, but cnn or Reuters would be a better place to look for an accurate article with the black box info.

Have the Egyptians released the contents of the black boxes they found?

What did the wreckage suggest as the cause?

THEY JUST FOUND THE SECOND BLACK BOX!!!!!

Much too early to know anything. There are pretty much zero facts, except a downed plane in the sea. Beyond that there aren't really any certainties.

Interesting that they both went down shortly after entering new air space.

There's an old saying, "The first report is ALWAYS wrong." Applies to about everything.

This is interesting - Now there are claims the plane did not swerve and plunge. http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/24/middleeast/egyptair-flight-804-main/index.html


"Initially, Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos said that, upon entering Egyptian airspace, the aircraft swerved "90 degrees left and then 360 degrees" before plunging dramatically."

"The head of Egypt's National Air Navigation Services Company is challenging that account. Administrative board chairman Mohi El-Din Azmi told Egyptian state-run media Al-Ahram on Sunday that the plane did not swerve or lose altitude before it disappeared off the radar.
The plane was at an altitude of 37,000 feet within the flight path, without any deviation, Azmi said. It disappeared from the radar screens less than a minute after it entered the Egyptian airspace."

I'm certain very few air disasters have been completely figured out in 3 days. Chill. The pieces of the plane need to be retrieved and analyzed before they can say anything for sure. I think the time difference is making it difficult for the 24 hours news networks to talk about updates and theories incessantly.

And please, if you must speculate at all, use the term "security issue."

Why does using the term "security issue" appease you? Explain.

Are you kidding me. Investigations into airplane crashes take years to complete but they do happen. Now MH370 might be a mystery forever but they will gather the pieces of the plane and use data and forensics to determine what happened. This isn't the 1800s, we can do that now.
