“4. Exactly three years later, EgyptAir Flight 990 crashed into the Atlantic near Nantucket, killing 217. Investigators determined that the first officer intentionally crashed the Boeing 767.”

To this day, the Egyptian government still disputes the NTSB’s findings, despite overwhelming evidence supporting our people’s work. There is no question after seeing the flight data recorder (FDR) transcript that the 767 was intentionally put into a dive that brought the plane very close to supersonic speed and started to precipitate an airframe breakup. I should note that the FDR (and the cockpit voice record) shut down after the FO killed the engines in his effort to crash the plane. So what transpired in the cockpit after that is unknown.

There was no question this was intentional, which is why the NTSB wanted the FBI to get involved in the investigation. The Egyptians would not allow it.

Why not good news for Boeing? They don’t make engines. This should be a win for Boeing–aircraft was flyable despite the situation!

Yeah, yeah, I know, press probably covered it as Boeing’s fault.

Don’t know if you have caught up with the news that an engine blew up on a Qantas plane on take off from Sydney to Brisbane. The pilots who had reached the point of no return managed to get the 737 into the air before circling around and landing back at Sydney. Just goes to show how professional the QF pilots are and how times have changed. Not good news for Boeing though. Just thought you’d be interested. Chris.
