So what brought down Egypt air flight 804?

In the past three days there has been a massive amount of speculation regarding this tragedy. First of all my thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and their families and friends that are suffering in this moment. I can only imagine how much grief they are going through right now.

I have personally had the opportunity to talk to a commercial airline pilot yesterday evening and we obviously discussed this latest tragedy and he actually came to the conclusion that without the black boxes there is really not that much that we can say, with the information gathered so far, the airline captain confirmed that there must have been some sort of explosion on board, because an aircraft cannot decrease its height is rapidly unless it puts itself into a deep dive or if it has lost extreme pressure either in the pilot Cabin or the fuselage itself.

From what we understand the United States has sent two submarines in the search the black boxes and if found will hand them over and to the Egyptian authorities and have given their full cooperation in the case that the Egyptian government may need it.

The next question would be: If it wants a terrorist attack, if it was some sort of explosive device on board, somebody has to explain to me how on earth did it get on board the aircraft at de Gaulle airport in Paris, the claim that they have the tightest security in any airports around the world. However, this aircraft was traveling from Egypt to Paris and then from Paris back to Cairo, so some experts say that somebody could have planted the explosive device with a timer in Egypt with security is extremely low, where basically anyone can get on board with anything.

I will be flying from Los Angeles to London tomorrow and of course after the latest facts I really do not have peace of mind knowing that I am flying in an aircraft for 16 hours.
