Egyptair Accident Update Puts To Rest Sudden Explosion Theory
Egyptian authorities report radar images confirm airplane turned left and then 360 degrees right before starting descent into Mediterranean

The Egyptian Aircraft Investigation Committee confirmed Monday that radar images of the Egyptair Airbus A320 that crashed into the Mediterranean Sea on May 19 “swerved left and then turned right for a full circle” before its rapid descent, confirming reports from British and Greek authorities. While the Egyptian authorities concede that investigators cannot rely solely on the latest information to determine what caused the disaster, it does suggest that the airplane did not explode in midair.
