May 19, 201610 yr Author I guess Greek RADAR picked the plane up, heard on the radio Greeks were saying that the plane made a couple of direction changes just before it went down.
May 19, 201610 yr I heard last night that airports in France had terminated 70+ employees a couple of months ago that had links to terrorism or terrorist. Coincidence? I could see 3 or 4, but 70 is crazy. 70 is the magic number for me, I'm not flying out of France. As hard as this is to do, you have to wonder how many bombing attempts have failed over the last 5 years? (ie. Bomb didn't go off)
May 19, 201610 yr One thing I heard is there were 3 air marshals on board. Isnt that a lot for a flight? i always thought it was at most 1.
May 19, 201610 yr One thing I heard is there were 3 air marshals on board. Isnt that a lot for a flight? i always thought it was at most 1. Sometimes none. There aren't enough air marshalls to fly every one of the 30,000 domestic flights that occur daily in the U.S. Less than 4,000.
May 19, 201610 yr Sometimes none. There aren't enough air marshalls to fly every one of the 30,000 domestic flights that occur daily in the U.S. Less than 4,000. Thats why it seemed odd there were 3 on board.
May 19, 201610 yr Thats why it seemed odd there were 3 on board. As someone that used to work in the aviation field at airports, its not as odd as you think.
May 19, 201610 yr Author Thats why it seemed odd there were 3 on board. One was a trainee, at least that's what I heard on CNN or Fox earlier. No idea of they were French or Egyptian security though.
May 19, 201610 yr Author Now reporting the Wreckage HAS NOT BEEN FOUND...what they found was something else.
May 19, 201610 yr Author Engineer on TV said the loss of a wing would cause violent turn to one side, then the plane would turn over upside down and would spiral down appearing to reverse direction as recorded on the RADAR.
May 19, 201610 yr One thing I heard is there were 3 air marshals on board. Isnt that a lot for a flight? i always thought it was at most 1. As was already mentioned, many domestic flights there are no Air Marshal's, too many fights. On overseas flights you can have more than one, many times there are two. As soon as I saw the reports on this I looked at where the last place that the plane was to see if it could have been something like a missile, but it looks like it would have been on board. CDG has their own workers, they are not hired by the airlines, which stinks when their bags handlers go on one of their monthly strikes. I'm not sure how much or what extra security each airline may add.
