Lots of **** seems to happen in Sharm el-Sheik...
Remember that plane crash in 2004? I'm still waiting for the white-washed final report. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/europ...115915,00.html "there were reports that one of the doomed passengers on the flight from Egypt's holiday resort of Sharm el-Sheik, had called her nephew on a mobile phone as the plane went down. Fatima Hjiaj, a 47-year-old mother of five, called Mohammed Hjiaj in Paris. 'She said "something's happening to the flight" then there were screams from the air hostess standing next to her and the line cut,' he said." http://www.revlu.com/airflash.html "The Sharm el-Sheikh air disaster recalls the last Egyptian air disaster in 1999 when EgyptAir's 990 Boeing 767 crashed opposite the American coast of Massachusetts shortly after takeoff, killing all 217 aboard. US aviation authorities established that the co-pilot, Jamil Batouty, who was not supposed to be on duty at the time, took over the controls and put the plane into a sharp nosedive shouting Allah is Great! in Arabic." "ALLAH AKBAR is the cry of Islam - their satan god they yell just before they kill themselves and innocent others. ALLAH AKBAR means their devil god is greater than our GOD, JEHOVAH. False, and fatal." http://www.b737.org.uk/flashair.htm "In the search for clues from the wreckage, France handled the underwater recovery while the Egyptians collected surface debris. Both the FDR & CVR were recovered, although the CVR was said to be in poor condition." (how convienent). "The preliminary accident report is available for download from the Egyptian Aviation Authority at Http://www.civilaviation.gov.eg/flash.pdf . Be warned the file is 10Mb and it is a slow server!" (that link doesn't seem to be working) "The French BEA have published a real-time video animation of the flight at http://www.bea-fr.org/francais/actua...arm/video2.htm it is 9.5Mb." (This link does work and it's a cool computer simulation of the flight. It looks like someone inside the plane was attempting a sharp bank to the right (which would head the plane toward the beach/hotel area) but the plane went into a side-ways dive and it seemed it was correcting itself by the time it hit the water.) "British prime minister Tony Blair was vacationing at the Sharm el-Sheikh resort with his family. From the moment the disaster was reported, no word was released about their whereabouts." |
