EgyptAir flight 804 from Paris to Cairo disappears from radar
An EgyptAir flight from Paris to Cairo disappeared from radar Thursday morning, according to multiple news accounts citing the airline. Flight 804 had 59 passengers and 10 crew aboard. According to Sky News Arabia, the plane was last detected in the skies over Greece, about 40 minutes from Athens. “Egyptian aviation authorities [have] raised the alert level at Cairo airport,” Sky News Arabia reported. Both France and Egypt have had their transportation networks attacked by Islamic State and allied terrorists in recent years, ranging from a lone jihadist going on a knife rampage on a French train to the shooting down of a Russian airliner leaving an Egyptian resort. Mary Schiavo, a former Transportation Department inspector general, told CNN that because the plane was not over a war zone, the disappearance was likely a “mechanical failure or possible nefarious activity.”
