An EgyptAir flight that crashed in the Mediterranean did not swerve and change direction before disappearing, an Egyptian official says.

The Airbus A320 was en route from Paris to Cairo with 66 people aboard when it vanished from radar early on Thursday.

Greece's defence minister said the plane turned 90 degrees left and then did a 360-degree turn towards the right before plummeting. But a senior Egyptian aviation official said there was no unusual movement.

Ehab Azmy, the head of Egypt's state-run provider of air navigation services, told Associated Press the plane had been flying at its normal height of 37,000ft (11,280m) before dropping off the radar. Some debris has since been found.

2. Greece has nothing to hide or gain from that disclosure. Egypt sure does though.

3. They said the same damn thing about the Russian airliner

When everyone else was saying it was a bomb. Eventually they admitted what everyone else already knew. Forgive me if I take what they say with a grain of salt, they have a vested interest in downplaying this event.

6. On the other hand most groups that commit airline bombings have a statement

ready to go in order to prove that they did the deed while they then revel that they just murdered alot of innocent people but there wasnt such a statement in this case.

4. There we go again...

Claims and counterclaims. Why the F do they ALWAYS do this?
