The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Quite possible. A couple of rapid turns, then stepwise rapid descents. Suggests loss of control surfaces, struggle in the cockpit, or pilot inability to deal with a system failure. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

I hope you are right. Still tragic of course, but somehow less horrific. |

On Jun 29th 2016 Egypt's CAA reported that the flight data recorder has been successfully downloaded. Data are present from departure at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris until the aircraft was at FL370 just after the ACARS messages (see below in data section) were transmitted. Together with wreckage parts from the front of the aircraft, that had been recovered for showing severe heat damage and thick black smoke damage, there is evidence of a fire in the forward section of the aircraft. The investigation is going to undertake comprehensive analysis to try to determine the source and cause of the fire. |
