Unnecessary (& dubious) comment

[edit]

Second line of introduction/lead.

It was the fourth accident, and the third with fatalities, involving the newly established EgyptAir.[ref] 

The [ref] lists these accidents without any qualification or comment; the words above were added by an editor here. Whilst it is accurate, up to a point, please note the following;

  1. One of the accidents involved a Yugoslav registered aircraft, leased to Egyptair, most likely with a Yugoslav crew. Egyptair may have their faults, but pinning this one on them is harsh.
  2. Egyptair was newly renamed at this time (1971), not 'newly established', and in fact dates back to 1932.
  3. This is not the place to discuss Egyptair's safety record.
