A US review of satellite imagery detected no signs of explosion on board the crashed Egyptair flight, officials from several US agencies told Reuters on condition of anonymity, adding that this conclusion was based only on a preliminary examination that hadn’t ruled out any possible causes for the tragedy, including mechanical failure, a terrorist attack, or a deliberate act by a member of the crew. -RT

The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will assist Egypt “as necessary” in its investigation into the disappearance of an EgyptAir jet from Paris to Cairo over the Mediterranean south of Greece on Thursday, a spokesman said.

Under United Nations rules, a country is allowed to assist in an aircraft accident probe if its engines were manufactured in that state. The EgyptAir plane, an Airbus A320, was equipped with International Aero Engines, a consortium led by US-based Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp. The NTSB is in communication with Pratt & Whitney on the issue, the spokesman said in a statement emailed to Reuters.

“We stand by to offer assistance,” the spokesman said.

A terror attack could be the reason for the EgyptAir crash, Aleksandr Bortnikov, head of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), has said.
“Unfortunately, today there was another incident with an Egyptian Airlines plane. Apparently, it is a terrorist attack, which killed 66 people from 12 countries,” Bortnikov was cited as saying by TASS.

The FSB chief urged “all concerned parties, including our partners in Europe, to undertake joint measures to identify the persons involved in this heinous act.”

An EgyptAir flight en route from Paris to Cairo has gone missing on Thursday with 56 passengers and 10 crewmembers on board.

While a search and rescue operation is under way, authorities and experts say no scenario can be ruled out, including terrorism.

The crew of the missing flight were threatened days before the incident, claims Sharif Mehera, a former EgyptAir pilot, who describes himself as a close friend of the captain of the Airbus A320 that disappeared.

He told LifeNews that someone wrote a menacing message on the hull of one of the planes.

The message was in Arabic, and read: “the next murder will be the flight number SU-GCC,” Mehera said, adding that it was exactly the flight number of the missing plane and that all security services were aware of this incident. –RT

There are no known security issues with any of the passengers of the missing flight, the Egyptian aviation minister said during the press conference, adding that further checks are underway. According to the minister, the missing plane is more likely to have been brought down by a terrorist attack than a technical failure.
