Suicide Squad.

Have ISIS blown up another plane over Egypt with a Ground to Air missile? Who is supplying these weapons? Has air travel now become the most dangerous mode of transport?

[Hopkirk]

No, it wasn't over land.

[DTCwordfan]

unless they have a destroyer......no this was a bomb, I bet.

[Luv_The_Doc]

One over Egypt, as well as the one over the deepest part of the Med? it just gets worse.

[EDDIE51]

Just-Jude, Traveling by car is 1,000s of times more dangerous than flying and always will be. I read somewhere that you are 15,000 times more likely to die in a road accident on the way to the airport than to die in a crash once you get on the plane!

[Just-Jude]

EDDIE, that was a couple of years ago, they're now coming down every week!

[EDDIE51]

^^ Ok so perhaps it's only 10,000 times more dangerous than flying now.

Almost as close to Cyprus as Egypt.

//it's a bomb, i bet..//

if it is, then Paris airport needs shutting down right now, as that will have been where it was planted.

[Just-Jude]

Mushroom, the plane had a stopover in Eritrea and Tunisia, before the onward flight to Paris, don't see how you can blame the French.

[stuey]

I wonder why the plane dropped so many thousands of feet, and then made two erratic turns before it left the radar.

[mikey4444]

To answer your last point JJ....no, of course not.

And planes are not coming "every week"

[tonyav]

Almost like it was being flying by remote control, stewy.

[-SharonA-]

But surely the plane was given the once over in Paris?

[stuey]

Something wrong with the controls and/or the crew? I realize that we are all just speculating, but if it was blown up it would just disappear from the radar screens and not drop a considerable amount and then make two strange turns.

[Just-Jude]

Planes make strange turns when a wing drops off.

[mushroom25]

no stopovers jude. the flight is direct.

[stuey]

That's a fair point, JJ, especially as one of the "turns" was described as a full 360 degree rotation.

[agchristie]

Stuey, I predict a circular discussion on that point!

[tonyav]

Wreckage as been found near to Karpathos Island.

[bibblebub]

there are currently doubts as to whether that is wreckage from a plane http://news.sky.com/story/1698511/doubts-over-egyptair-debris-found-in-sea
