An EgyptAir flight which disappeared from radar screens en route from Paris to Cairo early Thursday, crashed into the sea off the southern Greek island of Karpathos while in Egyptian airspace, a Greece aviation source told AFP.

“At around 0029 GMT (3:29 am) when it was in Egyptian airspace, the plane disappeared from Greek radars… it crashed around 130 nautical miles off the island of Karpathos,” the source told AFP.

The official said the last communication with the pilot was three minutes before the plane disappeared, and that there had been no distress call.

The Greek defence ministry said it had dispatched two search planes and a frigate to the area. Twenty-six foreigners were among the 56 passengers, including 15 French citizens, a Briton and a Canadian, EgyptAir said.

Allahumo Nojini Moha Najini

RIP to them.

Egypt Air sha don surfer crashes o. I remember that Flight 990 where the relief pilot is alleged to have deliberately crashed the plane into the Atlantic Ocean killing about 220 or so people onboard (including himself of course). I just hope this is not another story of deliberate crashing because no fault was relayed back to the control tower just like that flight 990

I'm just trying to imagine the agony and shock the peeps onboard must have been through seconds before it crashed.. Lots of regrets Beebee..

I remember once when i was aboard a flight to Abj from lag with my boss.. Some 15 minutes into the flight we started experiencing turbulence. Five minutes later it got so bad/worse prompting the pilot to announce to the air hosts (all guys) to take their seat with the belt signals coming on.

Bro, the in-flight water i had prior received tasted like vinegar in my mouth when i drank to calm my nerves. Plane kept shaking, with the pilot changing altitude (sharp descent) at several intervals unexpectedly making one sick in the stomach. It sha became normal after about 10 minutes or so.

Finally we got to Abj, and then began to hover for another 10 or so minutes before the pilot deemed it fit to announced we couldn't land because the airport had been temporarily shut down.

Na den I come remember say Bubu dey travel dat morning (go which country sef) and dem gats shut airport/airspace down based on standard practice till him flight depart.

I swear say na road i go use return Lag but after we finish work, na so dem jack me go airport again.

I hate flying for the simple reason that i have no control or idea of what is going on.

Something must kill a man sha. But no one prays to die violently. God rest their souls.
