A huge hunt is underway in the Mediterranean for debris from the EgyptAir jet that swerved abruptly and disappeared from radar while carrying 66 people from Paris to Cairo.
EgyptAir initially claimed debris and life jackets belonging to MS804 had been found near the Greek island of Karpathos, east of Crete, but airline vice-president Ahmed Adel later said “we stand corrected”.
He added that the recovered debris “is not our aircraft”.
Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammenos said the plane spun all the way around and suddenly lost altitude just before vanishing from radar screens around 2.45am Cairo time on Thursday.
He said it made a 90-degree left turn, then a full 360-degree turn to the right, plummeting from 38,000 to 15,000 feet.
It disappeared at about 10,000 feet, he said. There were no reports of stormy weather at the time.
Egyptian and Greek authorities in ships and planes have searched the suspected crash area throughout the day for traces of the airliner or its victims, with more help on the way from the US, Britain and France.
11.20 Egypt's army said it is taking all the necessary procedures to find the missing plane by dispatching a number of rescue and search jets along with navy vessels specialised in rescue and relief operations. A high alert has been imposed in military hospitals and the army is currently in coordination with the cabinet and the foreign and civil aviation ministers to provide the needed support. The army spokesman said the search for the disappeared plane is taking place where the plane reportedly went missing, with the participation of jets from Greece.
Least we forget China implemented a Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) over south china sea. Then we not forget likely shooting down of MH370 arising from ADIZ implemented by China and the trials held in China taking to task three highest security CEO's no matter what lies are told.
We wont forget Vietnamese Search and Rescue photographed wreckage off southern end of Vietnam, and witness who observed fireball in the sky least we forget...MH17 either, which was flying at 30,000 feet not 33,000 as stated in NSW coroner report, if it had been flying at 33000 then missile system couldn't have reached tat high, least we forget lies get told
The disagreement between the US and China emerged the previous year when the latter was accused of beefing up its military presence in the South China Sea, which is an area disputed by at least six counties.
The confrontation comes amid heightened China-US tensions over three disputed islands in the South China Sea. US ally Japan has contested China’s right to the island chain, which is also claimed by Taiwan. The standoff has been fueled by the area’s natural resources, as well as China extending its Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) over areas claimed by neighboring states for their own ADIZs.
And it announced that the Greek Ministry of Defense deploy a frigate and military aircraft to search for the missing Egyptian southern Mediterranean plane

One cup of rice, one/half cups of water, don't stir or boil hard so the steam escapes is sort of eatable. Lots of rice puddings are pretty good, example in Indonesia they make a black-rice pudding which is eatable. Fly'd lice comes in many varieties, there are four major categories of rice worldwide: Indica, japonica, aromatic and glutinous.
Potato of course comes from south america, probably got mixed up in all the gold stolen from there...but nothing beats roast spud, or meee mums mutton stew thickened of course with potato's.
The modified potato commercially grown today are disgusting while however i've taken to thickening my stews with frozen chips and a two minute soup mix.
