Looks like explosives…
…may have brought down an EgyptAir plane last May:
TTraces of explosives have been found on the bodies from the EgyptAir crash in May ”” suggesting that the plane was bombed out of the sky by terrorists, according to several media reports Thursday.
All 66 people on board were killed when Flight MS804 crashed into the Mediterranean during a flight from Paris to Cairo on May 19.
Egypt’s Civil Aviation Ministry has announced a criminal probe that will look into the possibility of a bomb being planted on board, according to the Independent newspaper.
Another very disturbing piece of news to remind us that terrorism continues to take victims all around the world.
It also reminds us of how impressive forensics can be these days.

What can one say, so very sad. I wish people would stop killing each other.
Gas chromatography can detect concentrations of the order 1 molecule in millions and identify the molecular structure of this trace impurity. And do it in seconds. Much more sensitive than trained sniffing dogs.
But why wouldn’t the terrorist group ‘take credit’ for it like they usually do with attacks? What is the point of an anonymous terrorist attack?
…that’s what I’ve never understood about the TWA 800 theories that it was a terrorist missile or something that caused it to explode. No terrorists claimed responsibility for it — isn’t the point of attacks to make it known it was terror?
