In the sky and when that impact rumbled across the sea. I have a clear. Son line of sight above the haze bang into a beautifully clear with sky there was no. Explosion in the sky there was no rocket streaking there was no plane coming down in flames and if there had been i would have seen it. Because i was looking right out i mean im. A student me aware of my surroundings when im at sea. It didnt happen. Until rebel is a pilot with more than 52 Years Experience and then a rose by sea engineer we asked him where the flight 990 might have been hit by an. I believe me thats the missile did not hit the sack croft if we look at all the elements of the evidence that we weve received. Evidence from witnesses did not see any missiles in the air that night which was a very clear night before right all stations that have the aircraft on their screen saw no missiles being fired at that aircraft as we discussed earlier the debris field was fairly isolated and only found 400. 00 metres apart which would not have been the case of course if im a solid hit the aircraft at 33000 feet. Because of the 10 hour flight time 2 crews were required. Copilot jamail alba treaty was one of the members of the relief crew he would feature heavily in the n. T. S. B. Investigation 20 minutes after takeoff took over from audio on one copilot of the active crew. Only 2 days after finding the cockpit voice recorder leaks from the n. T. S. B. Theyd made out leads to accuse each time a loud batouti of crashing the plane. I deeply regret. That some advantage benefit sources have led the news media to speculate on undocumented information protect way from one of the most sensitive investigative tools at our disposal oh my goodness. There were leaks on every investigation i had any responsibility for oversee. Tina usa or for 27 others i had people sign confidentiality agreements and if there was not leak then the media would take someones information and make it appear there was a lick this is a. Back up pilot egyptian commits suicide and mass murder and end of discussion just open and shut case and that troubled me had to make a whole lot of sense this fellow as far as we could tell comes from a very well established a heavily back in egypt had military officer and an unblemished record one of her senior pilots about ready to retire all sorts of reasons to stay alive why would he commit suicide and kill over 200 people. I pulled 19th 2118 months after the crash the n. T. S. B. Issued its draft report finding that the probable cause of the accident was a result of the relief 1st offices Flight Control inputs i thought the n. T. S. B. Report was flawed in a number of areas. They kind of jumps on the conclusion that the handling pilot was mishandling the aircraft. With the finger pointed at suicide however i think they neglected to look at the other relevant evidence that was found not only from the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder but also. Parts of the elevator control system. In sausalito nori was one of 2 translators hired by the n. T. S. B. To translate the cockpit voice recordings. In a photo of the uta had in motion with a belt. It can show a sheet that thehotel and can often im smiling. When i do. So back to the atlanta hog in motion that they can one have had time to know mike enough that i think you have to be fucking fia. Achievement a cockpit voice recorder with those units l. T. Here but she is out of the out that im a open youre going back to get them fight that i had forgotten. Above all else what really seems to have condemned the 1st officer was his use of a common arabic phrase to a cult to which the n. T. Is to be translated as i rely on god more properly it is i put my trust in god this phrase was interpreted as the final prayer of a man intent on suicide and mass murder his motivation. At 149361 the night of the crash the flight data recorder shows a Rapid Movement of the right elevator the autopilot disengaged is followed by the copilot 2nd use of the i rely on god fries the throttle leave is a move from the crews power settings to idle fighters move between 3 and 4 degrees now use down the plane begins to die in 12 seconds altitude he repeats the same phrase 9 times the captain returning from the toilet asks whats happening. Now but to the repeats the i rely on god fries and a mosque a corner fortunes out. The occult a look at. What. A list of what he needs so tell us the name of the music of today. Well how many kids. Then of those of us of a like him could see the little fellas you know and then as it is over the heart of it he took us as it did then eileen went out of course. But jim hall remembers the initial response by egyptian personnel was somewhat different it was a general from egypt that came in the 1st general take over and was the Investigative Team and this was the last time i was to see him. Reported to me that it appeared that there was a problem with their pallet that had caused the invest problem the accident. That person was a vice marshal mom do as he has not spoken publicly on this issue since the crash. We were eventually able to contact him on a very bad phone line from egypt. Who are well what i. Was told by jim the whole he said that when you listen to the cockpit voice recorder you had to look like weve got a problem with that. Is that correct. You dont remember her work or her thank you. For your call once he reported back to cairo which he said he had. And. His that individual and the team. The majority of them returned to cairo and were replaced by another Investigative Team. That. And at that point in time. We had the official line from egypt that it had to be the problem with the aircraft were you recalled because the 1st comments. Or a photograph or the art you have are. Very high. Very very here very hard work walker very again right right you were in the line of your military both. Here very. Careful in your minded do you think but to be deliberately crashed the plane. Crew of course no. Let me put another scenario to you got a very busy n. T. S. B. You know t. W. I. 800 lots of other investigations it kind of feels like they heard this phrase and they thought all thats easy pilot suicide thats totally wrong. And insult to bind us together. We need. Choose to wait we were asked to take this investigation to begin with we did it. And a good job was done by the investigators the n. T. S. B. Has a worldwide reputation. For factual investigations and where we have problems with staff. In terms of workload we just extend the time for the investigation. We tried to tying the cop but voice recordings from the n. T. S. B. But they are legally able to release to the f. B. I. Also refused to release the recordings referring asked back to the n. T. S. B. But finally after 3 years of searching and long after all interviews for this film or completed we have time to copy of the cockpit voice recorders. Flight 990. 00 took off from j. F. K. At 121. 00 and climbed to normal. But i think. You saw it on the flight it to the 3 you know. About 20 minutes after takeoff the relief 1st officer. Comes forward and says he doesnt want to slate and suggest that he release the active 1st officer i doubt. He will but i thought you. And i know. That any. Event there. Was. This what. 27 minutes after takeoff the captain goes to the toilet 12 seconds later we hear an unintelligible frights followed by what was translated as i rely on a. Pet dog and as an aviation safety expert with 42 Years Experience he teaches a crash investigation. We also asked him to look at the n. T. S. B. Report. What about the use of that oft repeated frights. Yeah its important is it very important not really i mean if your in danger your lifes in danger and youre threatened youre going to say whatever you want to say and youre going to say rapidly in this case she rapidly less than a 2nd between each one of them statements of making that statement i mean this guys scared or something going on that he doesnt know he doesnt understand hes not trained hes not capable of handling this got him scared i mean id be saying something to. None of the egyptians involved in the 990. 00 investigation would agreed to be interviewed without the permission of the government this wasnt given. At the time however the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority or e. C. I who by now were doing their own investigation issued a furious or a bottle of the n. T. S. B. Report on. The n. T. S. B. You selected facts and speculative conclusions to support a predetermined theory and particularly the n. T. S. B. Is conclusion that the proper book codes of the accident is that deliberate action of the 1st officer is not supported by any evidence of intent or motive it is inconceivable that the n. T. S. B. Can credibly proffer a probable cause was based on pilot action when it admits the existence of unexplained damage to the critical of the theater component offered to president mubarak through ambassador the ambassador here. Listen to the cockpit voice recorder yourself. As an aviator so you can set and listen to it in your own environment. And so. You know we want i wanted. To. Edge every investigation. To be sure that we were doing the very best job we could. The cockpit voice recording last for a total of 31 minutes 45 seconds. Per head of whatever mio but melanie. What if you have a survivor a man wants to crash a plane so every was trying to clear the cockpit he was pretty lucky that the captain wanted to go to the toilet in exactly the right time if he wanted to play the cup why didnt they lock the door why didnt he push the elevators all the why ford why did he retired the throttle when you would push the thought it was all the way forward ignoring taken since none of that makes common sense you know again the report speaks for itself im glad to participate in the interview. Because i have Great Respect for aljazeera and your viewing audience. In regard to the report. It is there and available. On the n. T. S. B. Website for any wondering. And to the work of other federal agencies cast doubt on the reports conclusions. In the 1st century. The growing up in the United States i learned that the 1st amendment is really key to being a freedom of the soul going to be something new for men and women for the resources that are available but its an aljazeera story is that we just dont tell you what the subjects of the story want to know the government is not going to do the one thing the demonstrators want to apologize for thats what aljazeera does we ask the questions so that we can get closer to the truth but in.

This agreement paves the way for the creation of Transitional Authority to choose should and that will implement Political Economic and social reforms one of the most important priorities of this government will be to ensure pace and conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the killing of protesters and bringing the killers to justice.

You know im. On the 31st of up time and 999 egypt air flight 990 disappeared from ride and crashed into the atlantic about 111 kilometers of the east coast of the us with over 200 casualties. The investigation into the crash was conducted by the National Transportation safety board or n. T. S. B. In washington d. C. But we will consent that it hadnt and havent the true cause of the accident when the federal Aviation Administration required a change in the design of boeings him 67 in 2014 we decided to revisit the case. Because american citizens died in the crash and there was the possibility of a criminal act be iced out were among the fairest on the same in fact once the n. T. S. B. Had heard the cockpit voice recordings it wanted the f. B. I. To take over the investigation the f. B. I. Refused i repeated request for an interview referring us to their website and the history of the Boston Office it can be found a very brief mention of the f. B. I. 990 investigation. The f. B. I. Concluded that the tragedy was neither a criminal know what terrorist incident. This funding was not published until 2010 about 10 years after the crash yet the n. T. S. B. Did not attract its report or reconsider its conclusions. It was clear. In whatever language there was a struggle going on in the cockpit of the 767 but how was there a struggle what all we had was a cat come back inside. Whats happening whats happening and if you read the. Rest of this struck script that has been the text recording. It well youll see it. In flight 990 s last moments the captain returned to the flight deck and gave frantic instructions to his copilot. That night. That. He did. Theres no evidence according to the that the the data that was issued by the n. T. S. B. To indicate that it was a struggle in the cockpit so if im going to if im going to kill everybody and myself included i would have locked the cockpit kept anybody from forcibly prevent me from doing what i want to do been hes not somethings going on that scared this guy and in the end hes still hes got to go react and he freezes he doesnt know what to do and then the captain comes back and try to help him and you see him function as a team to try to recover the fly the airplane. Disconnecting the old i pod was another reason that suspicion kind tourist unjam out but today. A year after the crash the Egyptian Government asked the n. T. S. B. To interview captain jamal out and he had flown on the same bearing 767 from Newark Airport to los angeles the day before the crash. Captain aaron told investigators that the auto pilot was hunting for the glide slide during the approach to ally hicks and that because he was uncomfortable with the autopilots performance he had disconnected it and landed the plane and. I think happened what my team saw happen and what we put forth. Is that albert tutti. Who is monitoring this on a lot of. Felt something or heard something that wasnt quite right. Here power many many hours experience hes trained and the 1st thing you do and suddenly youre going on youre not quite sure what it is youre the shutters up if you disconnect at all you want to you know its you want to get a few whats going on about whats problem here and we think that n. C. Just like that out of the leverage on the back was more than he hold down straight up now we also know that this same problem has occurred on a number of other operators of that same type American Airlines entered into Charles De Gaulle they had a similar problem with pitching of the and stabilizer problems and elevator problems. And 2 or twice with their own mexico on the same airplane. One of the main concerns the egyptians had with the n. T. S. B. Investigation was with what became known as the im intelligent bill fries 27 minutes after takeoff the captain says hes going to the toilet theres a conversation between him and al but before the flight big door closes. 12 seconds later another voice is heard saying words which the investigation describes as and im intelligible fries. That that amount of your family and you had for the emotional family not the sweet mess im at the hyd
