EgyptAir pilot told colleagues he was 'ready to die'; Brother calls him a martyr.'
2016-05-22
[Right Scoop] Investigators are trying to unravel why the plane went down into the Mediterranean Sea. Is it terrorism? Is it a Muslim suicide pilot?

We don’t know for sure yet, but the Muslim pilot of EgyptAir flight 804, Mohamed Said Shakeer, is looking very suspicious!

The pilot’s own brother told El Watan News that Shakeer called him before the flight and asked him to pray for him. Not only that, but his brother is calling him a martyr for Islam.

Caps removed, still appears viable.

Steve White's posting from today appears to rule out suicide.
Moved to Opinion. This is speculation with translation from the Egyptian press and social media by Walid Shoebat, who knows whereof he speaks. Whether or not this was a suicide by airplane, the pilot's connections should be of interest.
