Egypt Air Flight 990 Nightmare

October 31, 1999. Radar documented an Egypt Airlines 767-300ER registered SU-GAP departed from level flight at an altitude of 33,000 feet, descended to around 16,000 feet, climbed back to 25,000 feet and finally plunged into the Atlantic Ocean.

Data on the FDR and CVR would show what happened after SU-GAP began its first dive that no matter how prepared the captain was to handle any technical issues, it's impossible to anticipate all possible emergencies.

All the co-pilot said was "I trust in God" repeatedly, then suddenly the engines shut down and the elevators come to a position pretty much impossible to happen by chance... Accident... right...

[pixelmancer3]

@ballebanan Not exactly, first the RFO started repeating "I rely on God" then he disconnected the autopilot before reducing engine power to idle and going into a dive. When the captain returned and increased the throttles and pulled up, the RFO cut fuel flow to both engines and pushed down. To say the RFO was being counterproductive would be an understatement, saying it was an accident is just wrong.

@pixelmancer3 first of all am really srry about the miss-/-spelling ITS A VERY BIG DEAL i know :) and they didnt find the black box and I KNOW what color the black box is and plz plz plz plz if u dont understand what r u talking about dont say non sense cuz first they didnt find the black box PLUS the elevator cables were iced cuz late back in time a/c where flown by cables now they r wire and not all of them SO u dont understand any thing :)

[pixelmancer3]

@MrKareemawad You really are a funny guy, don't apologize for misspelling humor as hummer, that's comedy. Anyway, not even the Egyptians mentioned that as a possibility and if the control cables inside a 767 could get iced up then it would've happened to other 767s by now. You might be confusing the problems with the rudder hydraulics on 737s getting too cold and reversing, that issue brought down two 737s and almost a third here in the states before the NTSB figured out what had happened.

@wazithefreak and @pixelmancer3......first of all thats not of a sense of hummer thing,if u both didnt study any aviation dont talk like that wazithefreak the cables @ the elevator were iced they didnt move forced the a/c to dive...its a cpt. fault 75% of the avi. crashes r human factors plus the a/c was all egyptians double crew and 17 or 18 military cpts read about the flight crash plus i didnt hear any thing!!AND the black box wasnt found.....wounder who knows where is it now!

[pixelmancer3]

@MrKareemawad I can't tell if you're ignorant or a troll, either way you're a funny guy. Iced cables? That's like saying someone has frostbite in just their biceps, pretty much impossible. Also they did find the "black box", both of them, which are actually orange and white. I know where they probably are too, either in Egypt or here at the NTSB.

Also, this isn't meant to make fun of your English but sense of "hummer" is the funniest misspelling of humor I've seen in a long time.

[pixelmancer3]

@PokerJoker3 This... is a joke, correct? Not even the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority thinks this was terrorism, and they're still looking for any reason besides the RFO to blame.

@lealowo You respect their culture? You respect honor killing, incest, rape, torture, corruption, hipocracy, execution as punishment for being homosexual, Punishing women with torture and death when they're raped, basically treating women like cattle, like a commodity and not human beings? You respect a culture that exists for nothing other than to make the entire world an islamic state and eradicate the freedom that gives you the right to argue openly with me? Fuck you bro. You're a moron.

@AmonBlack Ur right, 33 officers of which F16 pilots + 3 nuclear scientist ..

[Pvjinflight]

@AmonBlack This was not suicide attack, just random suicide of the pilot, and because of that there was no need to crash it into American soil. He probably chose that part of the flight as captain left the cockpit so it was easier for this sad fucker to get things fucked up.

[AmonBlack]

12 of the best Egyptian fighter pilots took this flight on their way home after a training on the F-16.

The American gov planned for the 9/11 attacks or at least they know that the Mossad was the hidden hand behind it, then they pointed the fingers at "the terrorist Muslims". Now you wanna convince me that they won't try to cover this as well?

If this was a suicide attack, why he crashed the plane in the water not over the American soil?

some people really enjoy getting sodomized by the media.

[nonameisftw]

Well, if he commited suicide then may his soul rot in hell forever because he took innocent lives with him. He could have simply killed himself some where alone. But if this was an accident then may his soul rest in peace.

[freeway5400]

Which one comes first, "Egypt Air Flight 990 Nightmare" or "Wag the dog" ???

[freeway5400]

Funny you guys , when u talk about freedom of speech and u forgot about the freedom of thought which u never use, when u r not familiar with culture and other languages and slang just like ur M.F. to insult or call someone idiot and it does not mean the act itself......cmon, think as humans, stop race and religion things, this analysis is just a cartoon and what hits the plane ( even by mistake) is really missing in this video go back to TWA , THE SAME AREA, civilized Gentlemen.

[wazithefreak]

Sorry bout thre repeated comments below but my computer was acting up.

[wazithefreak]

Look this incident has nothing to do with any religion, there are sane and crazy muslims just as there are sane and crazy christians. Getting back to wat this vids about: This had to have been done on purpose b/c of two key facts: both pilots were controlling the stick in different directions and both engines were turned off. I don't care wat emergency you're having there is no reason to shutoff BOTH engines.
