SU-GCC, the crashed Airbus A320-200
of EgyptAir in April 2014

The flight
data of EgyptAir flight 804 that crashed on the way from Charles de Gaulle
International Airport in Paris, France to Cairo International Airport in Cairo,
Egypt show smoke alerts before flight MS804 crashed into the Mediterranean Sea.
Until now, the plane has yet to be found. The only evidence found until now are
only two kilometers long oil slick and some wreckage that found 290 kilometers
north of Alexandria, Egypt. Now, the most important thing is to find both
flight data and cockpit voice recorder to find out what caused the crash of
EgyptAir flight 804.

There were
many speculations if the plane was destroyed by a terrorist bomb, as the
accident linked to the November 2015 Paris Attack and the bombing of Metrojet
flight 9268. Two months, before the crash of flight 804, the another Airbus
A320-200 of EgyptAir was hijacked, but all people on board were saved. But
unlike the crash of Metrojet flight 9268, when an Islamic extremist group
claimed to be responsible for the crash of the plane immediately, there was no
claim from any extremist group. Rest in peace for all those passengers and
crews that perished aboard flight 804, they may be rest in peace, and God will
give strength to the families and relatives of the deceased passengers and
crews about flight MS804.
