Donald Trump tweeted Thursday morning that the crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 “looks like yet another terrorist attack,” even though officials have yet to say what might have caused the plane to disappear over the Mediterranean Sea.
“When will we get tough, smart and vigilant? Great hate and sickness!” Trump added.
Looks like yet another terrorist attack. Airplane departed from Paris. When will we get tough, smart and vigilant? Great hate and sickness!

The airline said early Thursday in a press release that it denied “all misleading information published by news websites and on the social media channels regarding the reasons of the disappearance of EgyptAir flight MS804 and the company confirms that the reason of disappearance hasn’t been yet confirmed.”
According to reports, more than eight merchant ships have already joined the sea search operations.
“No hypothesis is favored or ruled out at this stage,” the Paris prosecutor’s office, which has opened an investigation into the flight, said in a statement Thursday.
