EgyptAir flight 804 plane that crashed into the Mediterranean in May likely broke up in midair after a fire erupted in or near the cockpit, the New York Times has reported.
However, it remains unclear whether the blaze was triggered by mechanical malfunction or a criminal act, Egyptian officials who spoke on condition of anonymity told the Times.
Last Saturday an Egyptian-led investigative committee reported that the word "fire" could be heard on EgyptAir flight 804's cockpit voice recorder before it crashed.
But the forensic and aviation officials in Cairo who spoke with the Times said that both the cockpit voice and flight data recorders, combined with the distribution and condition of recovered debris and human remains, had led them to their latest conclusion...

ReplyDeleteL'avion d'EgyptAir qui s'est abîmé en Méditerranée en mai dernier s'est probablement désintégré en plein vol après un incendie dans le cockpit ou près du cockpit, a rapporté vendredi le New York Times.
On ignore si le feu a été provoqué par un problème mécanique ou un acte criminel, ont déclaré des responsables égyptiens sous couvert de l'anonymat au journal. Le mot "feu" a été capté par un enregistreur de vol de l'appareil EgyptAir avant que celui-ci s'abîme en Méditerranée en mai, avait annoncé samedi dernier une commission d'enquête dirigée par l'Egypte.
Les enquêteurs avaient déjà indiqué fin juin que l'analyse de l'autre "boîte noire", celle contenant les données de vol, avait montré que des alertes signalant de la fumée à bord s'étaient déclenchées avant le crash en mer de l'Airbus A320....rtbf.be
