The EgyptAir flight that crashed last week had ominous graffiti scrawled on it two years before it went down, a report has claimed.
The New York Times reported that so-called political vandals wrote in Arabic on its belly, “We will bring this plane down.” The threatening graffiti was the work of aviation workers at the Cairo Airport, and some of the workers also wrote “traitor” and “murderer” to reference Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi one year after he took power in a coup. They wrote the insults, “playing on the phonetic similarity between the last two letters in the plane’s registration, SU-GCC, and the surname of Egypt’s president,” the paper said.
