An Egypt Air Flight from Paris to Cairo disappears from radar over the Mediterranean Sea. No wreckage reported yet, but this looks bad. I can hazard a guess on what might have happened, but we should probably wait for confirmation. Update: Almost Certainly A Terrorist Attack

For this not to be terrorist related; you would have to believe that an aircraft in clear air and flying at a steady state had a sudden catastrophic failure not experienced by an aircraft like it in several decades. This, while setting aside (really just flat ignoring) that an aircraft flying out of Egypt was brought down by a bomb 6 months ago and another EgyptAir aircraft was hijacked less then 3 months ago. This is the extreme at which the progressive left will try to deny terrorism.
ReplyDeleteIt is not just the progressive left, #NeverTrump people immediately jumped on the Donald for stating it. Trump qualified his tweet with "Looks like yet another terrorist attack..." and it still looks that way. Hillary said the same thing and was not called on it. Part of Trump's appeal is calling things as they appear.
