Egypt releases EgyptAir 804 report after 8 years

Honestly I had never heard of this incident before. What do you think happened, who is responsible, and what might be the originating cause or motive? I suppose it's useless for me to try and not be somewhat jaded, because I am, but I would like an idea of why this should be considered important, if it should, other than the simple humanity of it all.

I did a quick Wikipedia search (I know, I know) and it wasn't very illuminating.

Egypt is known for releasing bogus accident reports. If there was a bomb on board, that left explosive traces in the cockpit, and all the way to the back of the cabin, the CVR would have picked up the sound, and they wouldn’t have flown over 13 minutes afterwards. The French BEA didn’t find any traces of explosives initially in their tests.


In the EgyptAir 990 crash the NTSB reported that one of the pilots wanted revenge on a general that was on board, the CVR recorded him saying “Allah akbar” repeatedly, and a manual push forward on the control column was recorded, that remained, along with the other pilot pulling back on the control column. The NTSB reported it as pilot suicide. Egypt refused to accept the report, did their own “investigation” and determined it was an accident caused by a mechanical failure in the elevators causing a split elevator condition. The problem is that EgyptAir is state owned, and they’re not going to allow embarrassing things like accidents and suicide mar its name.


The evidence points to an oxygen leak in the First Officers high pressure oxygen bottle creating an oxygen rich environment, and someone smoking or a short in something. There have been known shorts in iPad charging systems used in the cockpit or even passenger seats.
Logic is dead. Long live BS.
