obviously extremely early days but i am becoming increasingly worried for the survival prospects of those onboard at this time. i am reluctant to venture into idle speculation but initial soundings i have taken from the industry indicate that the prospects of the plane making it to its intended destination appear to be decreasing by the hour.
The Egyptians and experts are now coming out saying this was “more than likely terrorism”. You’re very innocent @Julio_Geordio. I knew something awry had gone on here.
Among the passengers were 30 Egyptians, 15 French, two Iraqis, and one each from the UK, Belgium, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Chad, Portugal, Algeria and Canada.
Only a fool would speculate at this time. However I appreciate the need for my analysis at this time. My experience tells me that The best action for those with concerns for those onboard is to brace themselves for potentially bad news.
Separately I have previously expressed concerns about the airside operations and the transition from public to airside in CDG airport. @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy spent most of his early twenties pushing the small girlie trollies in the airside part of a major European hub, he can flesh out these concerns.
confirmed as terrorism, Christ, anyone travelling in or out of France would want their head examined, there will be carnage at the European championships
The Egyptians seem to be the one pushing the terrorist line.
There are two reasons this suits their agenda.
Gives ammo to the military Government to continue their hardline stance at home
Deflects from the possibility that the airline, which is state owned, was at fault. Important for perception purposes but also compensation for victims families, insurance etc.
