| EgyptAir plane made 3 emergency landings in the 24 hours before it crashed |

| [Bus Insider] The EgyptAir plane that mysteriously disappeared in the Mediterranean on May 19 with 66 people on board made three emergency landings in the 24 hours before the crash, the French broadcaster France 3 reports. The report has yet to be confirmed by government or airspace authorities. The plane used for the EgyptAir Flight 804 connecting Paris to Cairo reportedly had to turn around three times and perform emergency landings on each occasion while travelling among Eritrea, Egypt, Tunisia, and Paris. Emergency signals indicated a problem on board shortly after takeoff each time, prompting the plane to turn around, France 3 reports. A technical verification on the ground took place after each landing, but no problems were found and the plane continually took off again and continued on its route, according to the information obtained by France 3. The French newspaper Le Parisien also reported this information. |

| #3 But EgyptAir ruled out a mechanical issue within the first minute or two and they would have nothing to hide, right? Suggesting an explosion must be because of terrorists assumes nothing on board would otherwise explode which seems dubious when there is jet fuel and 3rd world maintenance involved. And still no terrorists have claimed credit. |

| #2 One time it took us 3 days to get to Barber's Point, HI from NASWI. took off, nav system went TU, landed in North Island. RON #1. Took off again Nav sys crashed, landed in Alameda. RON #2. Took off, nav system failed at the 55% distance waypoint, did DR to BP ( glad island hadn't done the continental drift thingie). As a bonus, the day after we landed in BP the big 1989 earthquake took out the Alameda hotel we were staying in. So multiple emergency landings can happen. |

| #1 Yeah once you stop heavily using most of the avionics equipment (like, when you're on the ground), they seem to cool down a bit. Inshallah |
