EgyptAir Flight 990

EgyptAir Flight 990 was a passenger flight from New York to Cairo that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on October 31, 1999, killing all 217 onboard. The crash occurred after a series of deliberate actions by the relief relief pilot, who disengaged the auto-pilot and caused the plane to dive. The U.S. investigation suggested the co-pilot intentionally caused the crash, raising questions about whether it was an act of terrorism or a personal crisis. The incident remains controversial, with Egypt and the U.S. offering different perspectives, but it ultimately highlights the importance of security and mental health considerations in aviation.
