NTSB Blames Co-Pilot In EgyptAir Crash
Federal investigators today (3/21) blamed the October 1999 crash of EgyptAir Flight 990 on co-pilot Gamil El-Batouty, who has previously been portrayed as a creepy pervert/stalker in FBI reports. A National Transportation Safety Board review, aided by material recovered from the flight data recorder pictured below, concluded that El-Batouty, while alone in the Boeing 767's cockpit, disconnected the plane's autopilot, dropped power to the jet's engines, and steered the plane into the Atlantic Ocean off Nantucket. All 217 people aboard were killed. Along with pictures of the flight data recorder, we've posted a pair of FBI reports detailing El-Batouty's bizarre behavior at New York's Hotel Pennsylvania, where EgyptAir employees stayed during Gotham layovers.
