EgyptAir Flight 990 Crashes into the Atlantic Ocean, Killing 217

It was October 31, 1999, Halloween. EgyptAir Flight 990, a giant twin-engine Boeing 767 on the way from New York to Cairo, with 217 people aboard, had taken off from Kennedy Airport in the middle of the night, climbed to 33,000 feet, and flown normally for half an hour before mysteriously plummeting into the Atlantic Ocean 60 miles South of Nantucket. Rumor had it that the crew didn’t communicate anything to air-traffic control, that the flight had simply dropped off the New York radar screens.
