EGYPTAIR – On 31st October 1999, 217 people were killed when an Egyptair Boeing 767 crashed into the Atlantic 60 miles off the US coast. Although there has been much speculation concerning activity in the cockpit shortly before the plane came down, the cause of the crash is still unknown.
The 59 year-old FO Gameel El-Batouti was caught exposing himself to underaged females in the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York. He was facing a termination hearing. The SU990 NTSB report leaves little doubt as to the cause of the crash.
