    That picture of the radar is clearly wrong since the airplane is right by Paris.

    I know. Not same airlines and probably different circumstances as they probably did go to space. But didn't want to start a new thread

    That's why it's called a 737. Still enough room for another 200 people.

    **Egypt Air Flight 804 Missing from Paris to Cairo.**
    [Flight Aware path](http://flightaware.com/live/flight/MSR804)

    * [Airbus A320](http://www.airbus.com/aircraftfamilies/passengeraircraft/a320family/a320/)
    * ~~59 Passengers on board~~ 56 passengers - 53 adults 2 infants 1 child
    * 10 Crew members - 2 cockpit crew 5 cabin crew and 3 security crew(?)

    Cairo Int airport, can't disclose any information at the time. Air plane is missing, supposed to have landed about an hour and a half ago.

    **Edit:** [Flight Aware graph log](http://flightaware.com/live/flight/MSR804/history/20160518/2045Z/LFPG/HECA/tracklog), look at flight time **Wed 08:32:01 PM**, thats when the pings stopped, looks like something bad happened in flight @ 37,000ft. RIP

    **Edit 2:** [Current weather near the area the flight lost contact, looks clear :/](http://i.imgur.com/m4xNIz3.jpg)

    **Edit 3:** [Search and rescue are currently being deployed to the area where they last had contact.](https://twitter.com/EGYPTAIR/status/733134478743371777) use google translate

    **Edit 4:** [EGYPTAIR A320 was at a height of 37.000ft, and disappeared after entering the Egyptian airspace with 10 miles.](https://twitter.com/EGYPTAIR/status/733140379034386433)

    **Edit 5:** Look like its about ~~100 nautical miles~~ [~200 miles from the shores of Cairo](http://i.imgur.com/cU1GTG4.png), I'd estimate S&R planes should take about an hour or so to arrive (currently posted at 10:50pm CT, 5:50am Cairo time.)

    **Edit 6:** Egyptian navy, said to be deployed to area of last contact.

    **Edit 7:** [Lotta boat activity in the area](http://i.imgur.com/XYvC5gI.jpg) **Edit** Boat tracking times look to vary wildly, so that's not really the activity there currently.

    **Edit 8:** No hazardous material known to be on the flight.

    **Edit 9:** Egypt S&R apparently are in the area of last contact, right near the airspace border between Cairo Egypt and some other country, didn't catch it in time

    **Edit 10:** Captain had 6,000 flying hours, co-pilot had 4,000 flying hours

    **Edit 11:** 66 total souls: (56 passengers - 53 adults 2 infants 1 child) (10 crew - 2 cockpit crew 5 cabin crew and 3 security crew(?)

    **Edit 12:** No known distress call made to any ATC.(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...o-disappears-from-radar/#update-20160519-0522)

    its considered average according to the aviation specialist on CNN

    3 security officers on a single flight is considered high/slightly abnormal

    this is very interesting

    So let's recap what we know.

    Plane disappears from radar at 37000 feet.
    No distress call
    Plane didn't show up in Cairo when it should have
    This is happening in the middle east



    Guys, it's terrorism.

    Thread got merged. Can we not do that? At least not yet. This EgyptAir crash/disappearance should still be its own thread for now.

    Just because you guys have these new mod powers doesn't mean you have to look for ways to use them. Over-modding.
