June 5, 2016
An Egypt Air plane went missing on Thursday after dropping out of the radar. The Egyptian Military found remains of the plane that was reported to have gone missing 180 miles into the flight. The plane had at least 66 passengers and 10 crew members as it was stranded at sea. The plane was on its voyage to Cairo, Egypt. The flight had a total of three and a half hours of flight time. The plane swerved 90 degrees to the left and then made a 360 degree turn to the right before plunging first to 15,000 feet, then 10,000 feet. None of the passengers have been found “I hope their alright because I know that they have families that are worried about them. Hopefully, their all healthy and they get home safely,” said Freshman Mark Noschese. Body parts were found as well as personal belongings. The pilots have been identified as Mohamed Said Shoukair, who was the plane’s captain, and first officer Mohamed Mamdouh Ahmed Assem. The government of Egypt is trying to find out the cause and if it was an act of terror or just an orthodox plane crash.
