2016 EgyptAir crash caused by fire, not bomb: French inquiry
French investigators have said the 2016 EgyptAir crash that killed 66 was likely caused by cockpit fire, contradicting Egyptian authorities who claimed the plane had been bombed. They said onboard recorders suggested the fire spread quickly through the plane, causing the loss of control of the aircraft. The plane was flying from Paris to Cairo before crashing into the Mediterranean.
