Re: EgyptAir Domestic flught hijacked

Am I allowed to say "Oh my God" or is that politically incorrect?

Feel sorry and sad for all involved. This is now totally out of control.

Hopefully it will be resolved peacefully......why they are heading to Cyprus is a mystery.

Apparently now landed in Cyprus. Originated from Alexandria.

Don't have much else in the way of info atm.

edit: 81 pax (assuming plus crew) flight MS 181, landed at Larnaca Cyprus.

Another report says 60 pax (again assuming plus crew)

Looking at Flightradar, https://www.flightradar24.com/MSR181/93d5b9d

seems a very direct route. Now saying 55 pax plus 5 crew

It would appear to be a personal matter rather than terrorism. The hijacker is an Egyptian male with a Cypriot wife who is living in Cyprus.

He has requested asylum in Cyprus

I think hi-jacking a plane and holding hostages is terrorism regardless of the purpose otherwise everyone would have been released. He bought a ticket to get on the plane, he should have just bought one to Cyprus.
