Initial reports indicate it was an A320 with 69 souls on board.

According to Flight Aware, it was a 737-800.

No need to fear...Don Lemon and Mary Schiavo are on the job and on the air.

I believe Egyptair has confirmed it was an A320.

Whatever you do, don't say his name 2 more times!!

(or you might find out where he is.)

Well the armchair pilot Facebook community tells me "Boeing or I ain't going!!"...... as they book their Allegiant trip for $49

I thought this argument was for flight simmers with no flight experience what so ever

None but my understanding is statistically they have a higher loss rate than Boeing. Hence the term Scarebus. But as has been pointed out it turns out to be a Boeing air frame so the point is moot.

Wow! Perfectly sum's up how i feel when i hear Donald Trump speaking!!!

What have you seen to suggest Airbus has a higher loss rate than a Boeing?




This news is very sad. The plane sounds less than half full but still, any loss of life is devastating.

Just reverse everything you just posted and it would be accurate.

I think he is currently flying one, is he not? @Seggy
