Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump responded to the crash of EgyptAir Flight MS804 Thursday morning on his favorite medium, tweeting blame for the incident on terrorism while offering no condolences to the victims or their families. “Looks like yet another terrorist attack,†Trump
on Twitter. “Airplane departed from Paris. When will we get tough, smart and vigilant? Great hate and sickness!†Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Trump’s tweet “prejudges the outcome,†cautioning that “it’s always better to wait until you actually know what the facts are before you open up.â€

World travel is gradually becoming a risky business, especially travelling by air. It's not yet conclusive whether this incident involving the Egypt Air aircraft was a terror strike or not. However, with so many incidences happening recently of passenger aircraft being downed by various causes. I believe that this will put added stress on some persons when they have to travel by air especially when they may not have any alternatives.

The plane had already traveled most of its course, and was 20 minutes away from landing. They were responsive to the air traffic control right before they exited the greek airspace, but as soon as they tried to switch to the egyptian channel, and report back to the greek channel that they succesfully changed channels, they were gone.
They were unresponsive but they were still appearing on radars for a small period of time.
This was a very reliable aircraft model that many air companies use.
They're looking for the black box now but the waters are too deep at that point of the Mediterranean.
Why do we even have black boxes? Now that we have phones and satellite tech, we could transmit that data real-time and not look for black boxes everywhere, that take forever to be analysed.
