Report Finished on 1999 EgyptAir Crash
A draft of the final U.S. report on the crash of EgyptAir Flight 990 does nothing to contradict the theory that the jet was intentionally plunged into the sea, Associated Press learned.
The report, which is being sent to Egyptian authorities, for the first time contains analysis of what may have caused the crash that killed all 217 people aboard, said Keith Holloway, a National Transportation Safety Board spokesman.
The Boeing 767 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off Nantucket, Mass., in 1999. U.S. investigators have suggested that the plane’s co-pilot, Gamil Batouty, deliberately crashed the plane.
