Officials believe EgyptAir MS804 did not change direction
World Security
Experts in Egypt have declared that EgyptAir flight MS804 did not change course before crash, as previously thought
The Airbus A320 travelling from Paris to Cairo last week carried 66 people on board. Unfortunately, all of them are believed to be dead.
Right after the tragedy, officials in Greece stated that the Egyptian plane took a 90 degrees turn to the left and a 360 degrees turn to the right before disappearing from the radar screens and crashing into the Mediterranean Sea.
A senior Egyptian aviation official now contradicts this theory and says that no unusual movements were detected and that the airplane did not changed course before the incident.
Ehab Azmy declared for the Associated Press that MS804 was flying at 37,000 feet before all connections were lost. “That fact degrades what the Greeks are saying about the aircraft suddenly losing altitude before it vanished from radar,” he commented.
As investigators are currently trying to understand what happened by analyzing the clues in the human body-parts and aircraft debris recovered from the Mediterranean Sea, they are also continuously looking for the plane's black-box that could shed light over the events and end the conflicting reports that have been issued so far.
