Egyptair crash. Did it collide with a drone?
Having looked at the chain of events immediately (including published sensor alerts/failures/smoke warnings) preceding the Egyptair crash, it does occur to me that it collided with something, pretty much head-on, then went into dramatic turns and descended in the fashion of a damaged aircraft whose pilots were desperately trying to regain control. OK, so it could just be a system failure, but considering the tardiness with which they are retrieving the black box (don’t they know exactly where it is? and let’s face it, the Med is not that deep) and the sudden stories on the media about the plane having so many faults and emergency landings in the days preceding the crash, I do wonder if we are simply distracted. There’s no mention at all of terrorism in the media, which they’d be shouting from the rooftops if it was even slightly suspected. So, is it not possible that an undeclared drone patrolling the Med checking for boatloads of refugees/immigrants was the cause of the crash and nobody wants to own up to it?
Several months later and this item has completely disappeared from our news. Black box found they say, valuable clues they say, plane most likely hit the sea largely intact they say, no distress call from the pilots…. Could it be everyone just wants to forget about this because nobody can even begin to claim it was brought down by a terrorist bomb. Is it possible the pilots couldn’t issue a distress call because they were already dead, having collided head-on with something?…..
