quote:
ORIGINAL: PeonForHer "It turned 90 degrees left and then a 360-degree turn toward the right, dropping from 37,000 to 15,000 feet and then it was lost at about 10,000 feet." Egyptian Aviation Minister Sherif Fathi said: "Let's not try to jump to the side that is trying to identify this as a technical failure - on the contrary. "If you analyse the situation properly, the possibility of having a different action, or having a terror attack, is higher than the possibility of having a technical [fault]." [BBC] Not that I'm any aviation expert, but that 90 degree turn, followed by a 360 degree turn, plus dropping so much ... that does seem like a very, very big technical or pilot error. That doesn't sound like pilot error. Why would the pilot do that? Something had to be wrong before the first turn. This, of course, doesn't tell us if it was terrorism or not, the black box should help a lot.
