The plane crash cost 66 people their lives because the pilot smoked | BT Udland - www.bt.dk The pilot of the plane from the Egyptian company EgyptAir on its way to Cairo had a lit cigarette in the cockpit. It started a fire, which caused the plane to crash into the sea with the loss of all lives on board. It has a new report established. The aircraft, with flight number MS804, was on its way to the Egyptian capital on 19 May 2016 from Paris. Suddenly it fell into the sea between the Greek island of Crete and northern Egypt. France's aviation safety authority, BEA, has concluded that pilot Mohamed Said Shoukair took a smoke break on the trip. It turned out to be fatal. That . It started a fire in the cockpit of the Airbus A320 as it ignited the oxygen, which was leaking from an oxygen mask on board. Some of the remains of the plane, an Airbus A320 with the number MS804, which was secured by the Egyptians. The disaster was a fact. All 66 on board the plane were killed in the crash. Ten of those killed were crew members. There were no Danes on board, but 12 French citizens, along with the 30 Egyptians, were the largest nationalities. In Egypt, it was believed that the plane had become a target for terrorists. They claimed that traces of explosives had been found on some of the bodies. However, it was rejected by everyone else. The plane itself and its black box were lifted from the depths of the sea near Greece by a US warship. In 2018, the decision came from France that a lit cigarette was to blame for the crash, and again in 2022, BEA said it had ignited an oxygen mask that was leaking. The sound of the leaking oxygen was clearly heard on the tapes from the recorder in the box. The two black boxes from the plane are raised from the seabed. The oxygen mask had been replaced just three days before the crash by an EgyptAir employee. But it was set to the emergency position, which could cause it to leak. Incredibly, it was allowed at that time for the Egyptian pilots to smoke in the cockpit. That rule has since been scrapped. A plane crash case is currently being heard in a Paris appeals court, and it is the report that blames the fire for the crash Egypt refuses to continue publishing their own report. They still deny the BEA accusation of firefighting in the cockpit. This photo shows a plane from EgyptAir becoming the taxi at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.
