	The Fall of EgyptAir 990 - The New York Review of Books
		EgyptAir 990's dive into the sea took place in three phases: a plunge from 33,000 feet down to 16,000 feet, a sudden rise back up to 24,000 feet, then a final plunge to the bottom of the sea.
		EgyptAir 990 was, first of all, a foreign carrier from a country that is not always regarded as a close United States ally.
		In fact, the single plane other than EgyptAir 990 with which the Atlantic controller is in contact during the period before the crash is a Navy plane with the call sign "Arise 57," which was flying in a corridor between warning zones.

	CNN.com - EgyptAir official: NTSB 'speculating' on cause of crash - April 19, 2001
		The EgyptAir official said the NTSB report uses "contradictory logic," focusing on the case of Flight 990 with very little, if any, reference to other incidents involving 767s, he said.
		The official said EgyptAir still has reason to believe the crash "could be the result of a technical failure in the tail region of the plane, especially due to recent discoveries that there were tail failures in other Boeing 767's, which is the same kind of plane as the doomed plane."
		EgyptAir has 60 days to review the draft report and offer comments before the NTSB votes on the probable cause of the accident and issues its final report.
