The fact that the other first officer was flying home for his wedding just breaks my heart even more. He, the captain and all those passengers didn't deserve such a horrible fate
How do you know?
@@greenesyt563 just from news coverage from when the crash happened
There's plenty of heartbreak beyond that. We lost two friends on Egypt Air 990 for the simple reason they wanted to see Egypt. The financial cost for their survivors was horrific and their deaths are still mourned in Durango, Colorado, where they had lived.
That first officer crashed the plane but the Egyptian authorities in a way didn't want to believe it because he was a former high ranking airforce pilot may the victims rest in peace
nope he not
u lied u sussy baka
True. He was actually a sex offender who knew he was about to lose his job as a pilot flying internationally..A sicko indeed..🤨🤮
I think he did purposely push the plane in a nosedive and the ailerons couldn't handle the pressure pushing the plane into an unrecoverable state
@@nuzairmuhammadnuh5620 he is
The part where they plunge into darkness mustve been so scary i bet people were dying of heart attacks
That rogue pilot crashed the plane. Egypt authorities can deny all they want but this was voluntary crash into the ocean.. may the souls continue RIP
Why would he do that?

@@Ericjunior7656It's sad seeing this as a Egyptian rest in peace all the people who died
I actually found out most of Egypt's government at the time, including the state leaders, heads of authority and even the president, all earned wings, and because of that, the country's aviation authority was given the highest respect imaginable. There's your source of denial, people. The Egyptian government were too proud of their pilot associations, and it could also explain their stubbornness with the crash of Flash 604 which was pilot error!
This is an extremely obvious case of pilot suicide.
Or, as many of us TRIED TO TELL AUTHORITIES, one of the first examples of AIR TERRORISM!
@@kathleeneparker98 Not even close to being the first.
Bro was suicidal. He deliberately crashed that plane. Coward.
This dude turned off all the engines over open water...then when the Captain gets back to the cockpit and asked him what's going on he says...I rely on God! GTFOH... i don't know what those Egyptian investigators were smoking but if this wasn't pilot suicide then what is!
Engines would have shut down on their own due to the extreme angle of the intakes

@@marksmith-ri5ur Egypt 🇪🇬 Says Mechanical Failure But Many countries Say, Pilot Suicide
Because he was a pervert who was just fired for harassing hotel staff and young guests prolifically for years, also because Egypt interfered in the investigation and still denies reality to this day.
Yes
This is what's terrifying about flying if a captain or first officer decide to end it all your going with them this flight also germanwings Silk Air pitching a plane nose down at high speed I cannot imagine anything more terrifying germanwings didn't even do that the first officer waited till the captain went to the toilet secured the cockpit door and set a flight level of about a thousand feet and coasted into a hillside taking all on board with him terrifying it doesn't matter how many pilots are on board when this guy on Egypt Air made his mind up everyone's fate was sealed
I've always wanted to know about this one. Its weird that its never been explained and pretty much forgotten.
It’s been explained. Egypt just won’t accept the explanation. They say Muslims cannot commit suicide… even though the lead 9/11 hijacker was Egyptian.
It has been explained. First officer deliberately crashed the plane.
It's well known that the pilot crashed the plane on purpose because he was being investigated for sexual harassment and had been demoted in the airline, on top of that the guy who demoted him was a passenger on the plane. Because of his high stature and the fact he was once in the Egyptian military the Egyptian investigators refused to admit the obvious out of fear of embarrassing Egypt so chose to completely humiliate the country instead by arguing with the highly respected NTSB and making Egyptians look incompetent and stupid in the global press by putting forward all sorts of idiotic excuses as to why the plane crashed.
Everyone who has ever studied the crash has said it was obvious that Al-Batouti crashed the plane, he had the motive and all of the evidence supports it. The Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority (ECAA) has the final say on cause and so the cause is attributed to a damaged component, but the NTSB have stated that as nonsense, since it was proven that the component in question was only damaged by the extreme forces on the plane as it dove in to the sea, they attribute the crash to malicious intent on behalf of the pilot.
@@krashd That's my understanding, too. Egypt's denial of the cause lowered my opinion of that country immensely. Its denial and behavior is something I'd expect from Russia and China.
The cause of the crash of EgyptAir Flight MS990 Is suicide by pilot(First officer Gamell Al-batouti)
It has been explained.
Egypt is just living in denial.
They're too ashamed to admit an Egyptian national was responsible for this.

@@Dr.AhmedRedaAli The technical flight data proves that the plane was crashed deliberately.
Suicide is blasphemy not just for his religion but for many religions. Yet, religious people still do it. So how can we trust religion alone? Do we trust everyone to always act perfectly and consistently? Or can we admit that people do not always act that way, especially when they were so distressed that they ended their life.

So this plane crashed and everybody died right ??
So how do they know that the Captain surfed back to the deck ?? Where there witnesses ?? Obviously there where but they are all dead. It’s something to ponder.

Never leave someone in the cockpit by themself. They can lock the other pilots out and have all the controls to themself
That is not allowed by most airlines regulations anymore.
@@johnmc3862 I'm aware and I can see why it's not allowed.
"HEY PRETTY LADY! WHERE DID YOU GET TO?!"
As someone who knew two people killed in this tragedy, it's too bad that so few people understand that because of denial--and the U.S. State Department's unwillingness to call Egypt on the condition of the pilot, families had little legal recourse. There was NO restitution for loved ones' horrific deaths.
There is more to the story than what the public has been told. There were 33 Egyptian military officers on that plane, coming home after receiving arms training from the American Military. They were targeted and the investigation was covered up.
Yes, I am well aware, through families who lost loved ones and who receive State Department communications. But, sorry, I'm DONE with conspiracy theories. @@actionjackson8439
Great job fellows!! That first officer crashed the plane but the Egyptian authorities in a way didn't want to believe it because he was a former high ranking airforce pilot may the victims rest in peace.
you just copied someone’s comment… lmao
Can you make a video of the recent plane crash in China?
it takes time. these are clips from mayday and stuff. just wait a few months as the ntsb gathers information
Now they are saying that one was also deliberate! Wonder if China will deny it like Egypt?
@@strnglhld Nah they just confirmed that indeed one of the pilots had some sort of mental problems, they don't know who exactly but by the video shown and that discoverment the crash was 100% intentional

So sad rip
2:33 Well if that's a mechanical vertical speed indicator then it would not be spinning wildly, instead pegging out at 6000 FPM climb or dive.
Done seen this one about 500 times
761mph is the speed of sound.. wow
Why was nothing done about him in the first place or the rest of them
Right? This pilot was going around flashing his junk to young girls, propositioning maids to come in his room and do stuff to him, there were many complaints about him, they obviously didn’t care for a long time
@@strnglhld In all fairness he was being investigated for it and he was demoted by the airline for it, which is surprising as none of those things are illegal or even frowned upon in most Muslim countries.
Exactly, there was multiple accusations that Gameel Al-Batouti was sexually harassing female hotel staff, following women around, exposing himself to two young women, offering maids money to go into his room, he was a pervert. He shouldn’t of been allowed on that flight, nor left in the cockpit on his own. There should always be a Captain and a first officer in the cockpit.
@@krashdthose misconducts are in fact illegal and frowned upon in Muslim countries
Gee what could it have been? Such a big mystery for people devoid of a brain.
Me too
Terrifying
Crash could have been prevented if Raouf took over El Habashis spot since he went to get his meal or go to the restroom. Once that's done El Habashi is back in his spot. This is also why two persons in the cockpit rule at all times is used
Very eery the similarities of this flight and China Eastern 5735
Pilot made something
You were correct Dustin. Now they are believing China Eastern was a deliberate crash!
I respect the captain so much ♥️
What?
Who else just watched 1 video and instantly became addicted to it
There was a Grandpa And Grandma onboard😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
For those who don't understand how it happened, (even though you should) basically the first officer in the black shirt purposely crashed the plane to get revenge. He was going to be demoted and was scolded by the pilot before the takeoff. This made him extremely mad. He kept saying the phrase "I rely on god" constantly as he controlled the plane and sent it into a nose dive. He didn't want to face his consequences for what he had done before so he decided to take his life... along with 216 others. R.I.P to the passengers and other crew who perished in this incident.

The cause of accident is can't explain there are two possible theory the first officer committed suicide or had a mechanical breakdown
It was pilot suicide, there was zero evidence of mechanical cause
@I Also, if the specific mechanical failure Egypt attributes the crash to (elevator failure) had happened, the plane could have easily made it to New York or Boston.
I guess since of the date at the time of the crash, I got called the Halloween flight

The fact that the plane did not crash it got shot down because the officers were high level so the Americans decided to take advantage
False. Deliberate act by pilot
@@strnglhldwhy because your favorite alphabet agency said so? They covered up TWA 800 three years prior that was shot down. It's their MO to cover things up. 33 Egyptian officers onboard, with the plane cruising at 33,000 feet. Am I the only one that reads between the lines?
@@actionjackson8439 Because the Egyptian government’s explanation is literally physically impossible.
@@strnglhld how do you know that the Egyptian government revealed everything that they discovered from their investigation? In other words, if this was a targeted hit against their officers, what motivation do they have to publicly reveal all that they know? Don't assume that we are given all of the facts.
Maybe becuase 1999 up side down is 6661 like bruh 666 in the number and 990 flipped is 660
so what you’re saying is neither of those numbers are 666
@@strnglhld no it’s becuase the flight crashed bc of the number 666
@@Eli_tee pretty sure it’s because the first officer deliberately crashed it bro. Look at evidence, not some numerology BS
@@Eli_tee also look at the manipulations you had to do to make it 666 - flip it upside down, oh but then it’s only 660 - but that’s close enough to 666 - wtf?
So no one knows what happened. Why would he crash a plane for being demoted, doesn't make sense.
Everyone knows what happened, Egypt just won’t accept it. He was told he would no longer be allowed to fly the popular route Egypt-US due to his predator behavior to young girls and women in US hotels. Then, he had to fly back home with all his coworkers on a long flight. This is extremely demoralizing. From his personal habits and way of treating others he obviously was a little off
@@strnglhld He was 6 months away from retirement so why would he care that he can’t fly again?
It doesn't make sense at all and it's pathetic how many people buy the "official" narrative. There were 33 Egyptian officers on board that plane including two generals, all of whom were returning from training with the U.S. military. The plane was deliberately targeted for this reason. You will never see this listed as an official cause. You have to dig for the info.
Camel roast
Incredible how they reached 99% the speed of light. That's almost like the millennium falcon.
Not light, they reached 99 per cent of speed of sound.

Speed of sound.
A Halloween Weekend 1999
I believe suicide is primarily an act of cowardice. I hold nothing against those who commit that act though. I simply believe they had much more awaiting them, but they decide to simply chicken out before seeing it through. Except people who take even one life with them. That I consider terrorism regardless of if they are allied with an organisation or not. To me any act of war is terrorism.
I do not judge those who decide to end it all. After all, I can't know their suffering. But I have no forgiveness for those who take their own lives and others' lives too.

Ty!
The acting In this is terrible
It wasn't the pilot's fault. This was just a cover for the builder. I remember this. Some Boeing 767 aircraft were grounded after this accident. The same elevator problem on all. Money matters more than the trooth. The engines were shut off as a measure in order to slow down the plane. His ideea, who knows... but not the reason of the crash. At such speed no plane would have stalled. The man was praying and maybe overpassed by the situation and shocked. He was alone in the cockpit and this might have been horible in this situation.
It was suicide. He pushed the yoke forward sending the plane into a dive right after the captain left to take a piss. Stop with the bullshit.
They were grounded because for 2 or 3 days, there were simply no answers, beyond a fishing boat that saw the plane hit the water. IT IS THE REASON for the crash, though motivation might have been air terrorism.
The bolts were faulty. End of story. Boeing didn’t want to pay up. So what if the first officers private life was seedy, but a story was built around it. This is a very biased and questionable documentation.
It was pilot suicide
So according to your one liner it’s pretty conclusive that this was pilot suicide. Thanks.
Let me remind you of Flight 811 where the cargo doors flew open and passengers lost their lives.
The official report was fudged for commercial reasons, until Mr and Mrs Campbell stole those documents and discovered the truth. Their son had died a gruesome death.
As a result many lives were saved in future flights.
Learn to question authority, they have ruined many lives.
The crucial mechanisms in the tail plane were faulty and were found in other planes.
This documentary was drama and possibly funded by interested parties. It happens.
@@samcohen1625 U clearly haven’t watched the full episode 😂 y’all living in denial
@@samcohen1625 Al-Batouti crashed the plane on purpose, he was a suicide pilot and a mass murderer, taking the lives of himself and 216 innocent ppl.
How the heck do you know I haven’t watched the whole episode. You seem to make a lot of hollow assumptions. As an aviator I am deeply involved in this. I depend on facts, not emotional simplistic reductions.
Sorry but I am finished with you,
I am editing my prior comment: I believe it was not caused by the pilot. I dont agree with the ntsb findings.
Why?
The actual reason was because there were American military submarines and they couldn't identify a plane, they thought it was a attack plane so they shot it down with a missle, once that happened they said it was pilot suicide bc they didn't want anyone to know
Oh goodie. We hear from the conspiracy theory crowd. The ones who MAKE IT UP to fit their own agenda, an insult to all who died. Perhaps you're unaware that a FISHING BOAT SAW IT COME OUT OF THE SKY, with absolutely no evidence, whatsoever, of a missile. God God! What is wrong with us as a people that we have to put out such malicious horse manure?
That’s been proven false.
