CNN is panicking over whether to cover another missing plane or to give Donald Trump more free earned media. Wolf Blitzer is in a deadpan trance next to the hologram airliner. Don Lemon is on location convinced he smells weed smoke.

The ultimate story would be if Donald Trump was on that plane.

Hillary should pull a page out of the Trump playbook and state emphatically that:

Quote:
"She's sent her people to the middle east to investigate reports of Trumps relationship to ISIS and the news is VERY troubling. People will be very disgusted when they hear what her investigators have discovered. It'll be a gamechanger. Big Big news. The proof is incontravertible. Donald Trump has direct ties to ISIS. You're all going to be amazed because I'm very very smart and very very rich."

The evidence is building that EgyptAir Flight MS804 was brought down by a sudden and catastrophic explosion, consistent with a bomb having been detonated on board.

Flight tracking data showing its altitude, speed and direction, ends instantaneously while the plane was at its cruise height of 37,000 feet. This can now be combined with reports that a military satellite using infrared technology detected a flash at the time and location where the airplane was last tracked, according to NBC News.

If the Airbus A320 was stricken by a mechanical failure it is highly unlikely that the effects would have been so sudden, leaving the pilots at least some time to send a Mayday call. No call was made, officials say.


Another crucial development is confirmation that wreckage has been found floating in the eastern Mediterranean, believed to be from the Egyptian jet. Given the increasing indications that a bomb caused the disaster an urgent priority for investigators will be to look for evidence in the wreckage of blast and fire.

There has yet been no credible claim by any terrorist group that they were responsible. If a bomb was successfully placed on the flight not only does this point to a weak point in security at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, the origin of the flight, but it could mean that bomb makers have found a new way of eluding current bomb-detecting technology.

The man credited with being the world’s most-ingenious bomb designer is al Qaeda’s Ibrahim al-Asiri. Al Qaeda has recently been overshadowed by ISIS, and some experts believe that it wants to re-establish its superiority in attacks on what it has always regarded as the most effective Western target, commercial aviation.



Most Indicators Pointing to Bomb Explosion

Oh well. This isn't really a big deal.
More people died in 2016 from babies shooting people than terrorists.

Actually, no panic at all. They just brought in Trump shill Kayleigh McEnany to cover both bases by having her vapidly turn the discussion of the crash into a Clinton sucks/Trump rules debate that completely lacked merit or intelligence.

Heard on TV that there were no fatal jetliner accidents in 2015 attributed to pilot errors, mechanical problems, or weather. That's amazing, if you think about it.

The plane that crashed yesterday also has a very good safety record.

So it was probably a bomb, but it's also strange that no one has taken responsibility for it. Even ISIS has kept quiet.

I'm convinced she's V, as in an alien lizardperson who eats live guinea pigs and is bent on domination of the Earth. The other day, she was on there scoffing at Carl Bernstein. Carl had to realize then the depths to which he's sunk that he's on the same panel with such a relentless twit. CNN, however, gets to rub elbows with a real journalist. They're a near-extinct breed.

French investigators now are saying that smoke was being reported on the plane before it crashed.

The number of aviation accidents including acts of terrorism is in decline, so I'm not sure about that.

Really interesting article on Guardian

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/21/egyptair-flight-ms804-smoke-detected-in-minutes-before-crash

Discusses smoke and controllers failing from ACARS.

Quote:
Signs of smoke were picked up in a toilet and in the aircraft’s electronics, according to data from the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (Acars), which routinely transmits data to airlines about the condition of their planes.


These point to either an electrical failure or an act of terrorism, but if the fire originated from somewhere far from the cockpit, it's possible that we won't be able to find out what the source of this failure was.

These mysterious airplane tragedies from the last few years would be seemingly easy to solve if we had internet connectivity during flight, since that would allow for pilots and passengers to communicate what is happening.
It's really unfortunate to have these incidents and not know a) what happened and b) where the hell the black box is.

Yeah, from what I heard last night, the timing of the various sensors going off indicate that whatever the source of the smoke was a very accelerated fire. It couldn't have been a simple electrical fire caused by a malfunction. It indicated a catastrophic event. Not necessarily a bomb, but some kind of explosion.

Trump should focus on the ECONOMIC TERRORISTS that run this country

The multiple bakrpuptcies that he has..
The banks that are too big to fail
The military that has murdered more than 300,000 people since 9/11

What are the death counts now for the supposed terrorists

Considering the restroom is the only place on the plane that passengers can have some sort of privacy,would not be surprised if a terrorist detonated the bomb while they had time to set it up away from prying eyes.
