gwydion* An Egypt Air Flight intended to go from Paris to Cairo with 56 passengers and ten crew has disappeared half an hour or so before landing. The Greeks, who pinged them last report they swerved ninety degrees without warning then dropped sudenly before falling off radar. The French and Egyptians will most likely be taking lead on the investigation for obvious reasons. There is a lot of speculation, but as always in these cases, I'm sticking to what is known. Muppet armed panic and/or accusations are too early given the tiny amount that is known. I refuse to voice any opinions based on so little.
My thoughts are with the families. Waiting to hear one way or another is right up there on the short list of worst things I've had to do in my life and not something I'd wish on anyone.
* I am aware of events in Nevada. I understand people are upset, but violence, death threats, etc. are never acceptable in this sort of political situation, nor are gendered attacks including rape threats. Do NOT lower yourself to trump supporter behavior. It does NOT help Bernie Sanders and it seriously damages the party, the process, and the Country. We need to be better than this as a country and seeing this sort of thing going on is disgusting and incredibly disappointing.
