    I thought someone was parodying JM22, and then I didn't.

    ^???

    Agreed with the most media that's saying this is most likely terrorism (or something got it). I just can't see it as an accident, or mechanical problems.

    Because it does not add up as that.

    I will not use the 804 days argument here, but it is strange.



    Where the media is coming from, I think -

    This plane, as well as MH370, both had no communication/May day to the controller, and just all the sudden disappeared from radar, which most experts expect a Mayday and wouldn't disappear so suddenly like that.
    This is also a new plane I heard that it's not as likely to have any mechanical problems.
    France and Egypt both are constantly under terrorism heavily, for example Paris attacks last year and Egypt plane bombing last year.

    Also... do ISIS and Al Queda always claim responsibility?

    If they do, but they don't this time (as well as MH370) it also raise some more questions.

    Because you're barking mad.

    Did you style the tinfoil hat? If so as what - tricorn? Trucker? Fedora?

    804 days!



    How about entertain whether you think the odds/chances (of 804 days, MS804) is that likely, maybe?

    With some wreckage and debris having been found, there is a good chance that something of value will soon be found. Today, a screenshot was released showing some ACARS telemetry which indicated the presence of smoke and heat near the cockpit and front lavatory right around the time of the disappearance. The types of bombs which could bring an airplane down wouldn't be so slow as to allow such data to register. It is possible that a slow burning incendiary device was involved, but that could have been too easily put out by an attentive crew. Something of this sort could point to a fire of some sort in or near the cockpit which got out of hand and caused the accident, but as always, we won't know what happens until we can find the FDRs and CVRs.

    No idea as to the depth. And instead of asking a random guy on the internet, perhaps you should keep an eye on the news. You just know that CNN will be just shy of an all out orgasm when they detect anything resembling the FDR or CVR.

    Haven't seen anything on BBC News about pings - just that they've found wreckage. They also had the news about the smoke.

    News about this has significantly quiet down the last 12 hours. Haven't heard anything new since that there was smoke alerts. That's 13+ hours ago. CNN is also dropping the coverage of this, last few times I checked. They didn't talk about this story and was talking about other news instead.

    Hopefully, they quickly recover the recorders and discover what really happened soon.

    If it's as most officials suspect a terrorism/bomb that bought down this plane, then definitely hope that they don't drag on the finding of the boxes for days or a week.

    Both CNN and BBC News have reposted debris images posted on Facebook by the Egyptian authorities.

    It is still in the early stages, they only know so much and have likely learned from the mistakes of the non-stop round the clock coverage of MH370 and how that didn't help anything and only worsened their credibility on such matters.

    Probably more to do with no Americans being on the plane, therefore the networks feel like this is a lesser story than President Trump.

    No Americans were on Malaysia Airlines flight 17 which was shot down over Ukraine and that dominated the headlines for weeks. The primary difference being that the location of the wreckage was known early on and a cause was quickly identified. Searchers have found debris from MS804 which can be helpful in locating the wreckage, but any further news of this will emerge slowly until wreckage is found and a cause can be determined. THAT, is the key reason why there hasn't been much else mentioned in the media.

    And no need to append that title upon that cretin unless it has been (wrongly, I might add) given to him in the upcoming election. Now lets try to keep this thread on subject, shall we?

    Also as a viewer, I would be frustrated as hell if I keep watching continuous media coverage about this, and they still don't have black box yet.
