On May 19th 2016 at 2.30 Egypt Standard Time, an Egypt Air flight 804 that was bound from Paris to Cairo, 10 miles after they had entered Egyptian air space. 66 people were on board the flight, which included 10 staff. The passengers included 30 Egyptians, 15 French people, two Iraqis, one Kuwaiti, one Sudanese, one Saudi, one Chadian, one Algerian, one British and one Canadian and there were two babies and one child among the group.

According to Greek military radar data, the plane veered suddenly to the right and then again to the left just prior to a rapid loss of altitude over the Mediterranean Sea. Search and rescue planes and helicopters from Egypt, Greece and France were sent but no wreckage has been found. EgyptAir posted a press release online stating that the wreckage of the plane had been discovered near Karpathos island, however, Greek authorities investigated the area and found that the debris was not in fact from a plane. As of the evening of 19th May 2016, the plane and the bodies have not been recovered.

Suspicion of Foul Play

The U.S former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton suggested that the plane's disappearance was probably an act of terrorism. Egypt's Aviation Minister agrees with her and said terrorism was the stronger possibility than mechanical failure.

Germanwings flight 9525 was deliberately crashed by the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, killing all 150 people. Andreas was suffering from depression and an eye condition that would have ended his career. He kept this information from his employers and they failed to notice his deteriorating eyesight. He attended 41 doctors in an attempt to cure his sight problem and began an eye treatment with side-effects that included drowsiness and suicidal ideation. Flying under the influence of drugs, he became fixated on suicide and descending planes and had made internet searches on suicide and crashing planes before he killed himself, the pilot, five other crew members and all the passengers.
