 | | Egyptair Flight 990 was a flight that flew on a Los Angeles-New York-Cairo route (Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, New York to Cairo International Airport in Cairo, Egypt). |
 | | The flight was carrying 14 crew members (4 flight crewmembers and 10 flight attendants) and 203 passengers from seven different countries (Canada, Egypt, Germany, Sudan, Syria, United States, and Zimbabwe). |
 | | An investigation by the NTSB determined that the copilot, Gameel Al-Batouti, seized control of the plane when the pilot was out of the cockpit, turned off the autopilot, and deliberately crashed the plane into the ocean, while calmly reciting "I rely on God" and counteracting the pilot's valiant efforts to recover from the dive. |
