1. Why Does The Story/Video Show Him Trying to Help Recover The Plane if He Did it on Purpose?…Second Thoughts?,,,Why Did He Let Pilots Back into The Cockpit?,,,Did He Shut off The Engines?…Weird Story

2. Religious people should be banned from flying planes.

3. The real crime is the pilots toupee

4. Did they pray for Allah to keep the infidels on board safe too??

5. my grandpa once said…..boy anyone that puts their life in the hands of a bunch of wires and batteries is an idiot!!!

6. "He couldn't have killed himself, he was a Muslim." Yeah, right, and no Catholic ever commits suicide either, right? The first suicide help line was founded by a Catholic priest after the funeral of a 14 year old girl who killed herself after her period started. She didn't know what it was and thought it was an STD for some reason. A friend of mine in college, his Catholic father killed himself. Religion does not alter the chemistry of the brain, truly distressed people make the same mistakes regardless of their religion. Maybe religious beliefs make it less likely, but there's no way they could eliminate it. There will always be people who are so desperate they do it anyway. And yes, he had just been told his actions would have consequences. This might have caused him a lot of shame, damaged his reputation. If reputation was what truly mattered to him, that could have been enough to cause him to decide to kill himself and the man making that decision (or at least the barer of the bad news) along with him- after all, if they were both dead, maybe it wouldn't get out and his reputation would be intact. Which to be fair Egypt did their best to try to do. This was like an office worker going postal, but the office and weapon were one and the same. It would hardly be the first time someone did that, although in 2 of the other 3 cases I know of they had been fired, not merely restricted. The 3rd case, I don't think they'd had confirmation they were going to lose their job from their employer, but apparently they had health issues they were not going to be able to hide that would prevent them from continuing to fly so they knew it was going to happen soon anyway. Perhaps there were other components to it in this case, but in particularly prideful people threats to their reputation would be enough to motivate extreme reactions.

   But honestly, I feel bad for everyone's family, including his. No wonder they can't face the truth that their beloved relative, who probably tried to be good to them, died doing such a horrible thing. Some of my family tree on my Dad's side is rotten wood too, I know how much it hurts to admit that much of your family tree could be wiped from the face of the Earth and ultimately make the world a better place by their absence. Having someone who you loved deeply and who probably treated you well but now are famous for the one massive bad thing they did must really hurt. That doesn't really mean it's a good thing to deny reality, but I can understand why they do. Most people seem to prefer to deny unpleasant truths, so it's certainly not something that would be fair to hold against them. As for the families of all the other victims- I've never lost someone in such a horrible way, but sometimes I have nightmares where my Dad dies. Just trying to imagine this happening to him is hard for me. But for them it's no nightmare, it's a reality they can never wake up from, and that's just so horrible I struggle to find words for it. I'm so sorry they have to suffer such pain. It's not right. I hope they find whatever peace and comfort they can.

7. Egyptians telling the NTSB they didn’t do a professional investigation is hilarious. I guarantee Egypt doesn’t have the resources to do the investigation without outsourcing it’s an American made plane.

8. “CFIT”?!

9. Captain Taha should have knocked out Al Batuti once he saw what he was doing and the captain could have then easily saved the airplane! Al Batuti in a final act of cowardice committed suicide taking everyone else onboard with him including innocent women and children! The Egyptian government and aviation authorities should NEVER allow anyone to be put in a position of authority OR LIFE just because of friendships!

10. Al Batuti intentionally crashed Egypt Air 990 and killed all on board.

11. Egyptian government are amazing at covering up all sorts from suicidal pilots to the great pyramids.

12. It was a suicide from the relief Flight Crew, He should have never had relieved him, also would look different if was done in another countries waters. Was the Totally Captain's fault too for allowing this to take place. Captain is responsible for everything that happens during his shift, weather in flight or grounded. The Ego of the old man also should have never started, giving him the impression that he could do anything was Wrong to do. Also any aircraft can get out of any situation if there is communication, which clearly was not the main priority.

13. What a pos. Why not just kill himself like he wanted to and leave other people out of it? The sad thing is there’s lots of people like this. Not only was he a murderer but a coward at that.

14. Why can't they tell Al Batuti about the firing after reaching Egypt?

15. The behavior of the Egyptian investigating authorities was atrocious and disgusting. There should be an international board with the power to arrest and throw into jail for decades investigators who are intentionally, due to a fake and ridiculous national patriotism, damage an investigation in course of an accident which caused the death of many of their own nationals and many more of others. But Allahu akbar they know to pronounce. Any other (normal) would have reached the clear conclusion in a matter of weeks. And with all due respect to Egyptian investigators, the NTSB is like 10 leagues above – when they tell you something, just swallow your saliva, say your allahu akbar and be quiet.

16. I don’t understand why we keep watching this repeating episodes

17. How can they possibly deny, all to protect image and reputation of one person, what that co-pilot did, both preceding and during the flight? It’s so clear to everyone else what this scenario was. I know suicide is huge sin in their culture, but to deny and try to drive the investigation away from the truth is wrong. So many lives lost, but they’re all out to protect the reputation of one. Disgraceful in my opinion.

18. too bad.. So tragic 😥 So sad..

19. Egypt: well, he has a conversation with his son about car tires, so why would he commit suicide?
    NTSB: No issues with the airplane per the FDR, until Batouty was alone, pushed the plane into a dive, cut the power and never responded to the captain, and was still pushing forward when the captain was pulling back on the yoke.

    Um yeah, but he talked about tires….murderer

    Never ever fly on non-US carriers…especially African ones. They are death traps

20. This is my second time listening to this case and I'm still feeling very angry and disbelieve how someone can be so selfish!

21. Hope that guy is burning in hell. His family deserves it too, especially that fat slob that kept defending him. I hope anyone that knows him or his family all suffer what those innocent families suffered. What a piece of shit.

22. The NTSB stopped short of calling it suicide —

    Probable Cause

    The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of
    
    the EgyptAir flight 990 accident is the airplane's departure from normal cruise flight and
    
    subsequent impact with the Atlantic Ocean as a result of the relief first officer's flight
    
    control inputs. The reason for the relief first officerís actions was not determined.

23. Ah .. religious people & the invisible man in the sky .. delusional selfish freaks

24. The reason why Egypt is in denial that he purposely crashed the jet, goes back to the old saying. Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes people deny the truth, because it hurts.

25. Old man who took over obviously crashed it

26. Cut the crap, that piece of garbage crashed the plane. They wasted way too much time with the investigation. Throw the family in jail

27. What ever the cause but lives were lost😢😢

28. Sadly Al-Batouti behavior is normal in today's Egypt. In Egypt, many women are harassed on daily basis, it is also evidenced by harassment reports during Arab spring protests.

29. There has never been a clearer case if pilot suicide. A vile act, which has destroyed thousands of lives.

30. Was not the only crush, another plane crushed with military members onboard, and the only one that survived was , guess, the actual M** F** actual president Sissi

31. Everything was planned by the government, the military onboard, that's the reason

32. He did crash it into the Atlantic.
    That's why he went into the Cockpit so early, and chased away the young First Officer.

33. "I rely on 'God'"

    ….

    The feeling would not have been mutual, more like 'Purgatory'.

    Lucky for him, 'god' doesn't exist.

    Just think of all the idiots that have done stuff like this thinking they were going to be somehow saved… Oops. Really sucks for the victims of these morons.

34. CIA got their hands on him.

35. Whenever I seek answers to difficult questions, I ALWAYS look to history for answers.
    There was one eerily similar case that occurred 50-years ago in the ex-Soviet Union that strongly resembled this one. The case revolved around a Russian man who was the most prolific and sadistic mass murderer in Soviet history, killing a hundred boys and girls in the most grisly ways imaginable. The reason they never pursued him was because the Soviet government refused to believe that a Russian citizen could commit such heinous crimes, believing that only "sick and twisted Americans" were capable of such senseless violence. So they stonewalled the entire investigation, allowing him to kill virtually at will for years and years. Many dozens of innocent children could have easily been saved, but in their abject denial, the murders continued without interruption. That is nearly the identical circumstance here, where an entire government refused to believe that one of their own could have killed himself and others intentionally. Try explaining that concept to the hundreds of terrorists who commit suicide on a regular basis, taking out hundreds of innocent bystanders in the process. This was clearly an Egyptian coverup with absolutely no mitigating evidence to the contrary.

36. This is what religion, cults, and ideology does to human beings. If reality conflicts with your beliefs you side with your belief system. This has lead to so much suffering in the world throughout history.

37. Sad but if this is all true and no spin, I'd have to believe the pilot lost the plot and took everyone down with him. If the sexual misconduct tales are true he would be facing a lot of shame.

38. I really respect the real Captain. He tried to save everyone😢

39. Allah is not god. Muhammad only created his own god, just to satisfy his own
    perversion.

40. Obviously the guy was a loser

41. “Egyptians don’t commit suicide “ …….. WHAT?? So you’re speaking for an entire COUNTRY of ppl just are all perfect….. rIiIiIgHt!!!

42. CIA hit that’s why fbi was covering it
