It was an Airbus A320.
Something was obviously wrong because the plane was at 37000ft with less than 20 miles to its destination. Most planes begin their descent 100 miles out.

The Quakers strike again!
I expect ISIS to take responsibility shortly.

I stand corrected, the last contact was 173 miles out from the Egyptian coast.

The flight being from Paris to Cairo means that the refugee scum in paris probably hi-jacked the plan an forced it to go down or whatever Isis crazed idea they've got this time.
The whole lot of them just seem like they wanna ruin the party for everyone else.

At this point I would rather take a boat if I had to travel overseas for something.

LOL at the Egypt aviation minister asking for "people" (meaning Trump) to stop hypothesizing on what happened.
Then 2 seconds later: "This is not to say that we are ruling out terrorism"
Trump is a fucking genius. He owns this news cycle and will ultimately be proven to be the first person in the world who correctly stated what happened.

It's not the frequency of plane crashes that's putting me off, it's the helplessness of the situation if your plane goes down.
If a boat sinks, I can get on a lifeboat and wait for help.
When I'm in my car, I have some level of control over the outcome in a crash situation. It could be caused by another driver, but at some level my own reflexes come into the equation.
When you're up in the air, you're in the hands of your pilot and those of the mechanics who worked on your plane. If either of those fail, there's really not much you can do.
And I have flown a lot, international and otherwise. Stuff like this is just making me nervous is all.
