According to Egyptian Airlines, it was standard procedure to have 3 Air Marshals on board, but who knows......this is same airline who tried to deny official findings of cause of crash wherein one of their pilots deliberately crashed the plane killing himself and everyone on board (exactly same circumstances my friend Freddie Gray was flying Continental Flight 11 in Mar 1962)....Passenger put bomb in bathroom and even after they lost tail, Freddie tried to land that plane but just couldn't recover from the damage caused by bomb.....
My only point was I think we should wait until investigation is completed. I think Egyptian Air will say anything to get the heat off of them.....but to yell about it being terrorists is just wrong before the facts are in...think of the family members.
Zero mentions the rudder problem which caused more than one crash....With proper maintenance, this shouldn't happen, but even a loose screw can be the reason for a catastrophic event (usually coupled with pilot or instrument failure, etc..)
