Congressmen Say Terrorism Likely Cause Of EgyptAir Flight 804 Crash

Republican Reps. Peter King of New York and Mike McCaul of Texas Sunday pointed to terrorism as the likely cause of last week’s crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 in the Mediterranean and said counterterrorism efforts should focus more sharply on airport workers.

But former United Airlines pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and former National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Mark Rosenker have each cautioned it’s too early in the investigation to draw any definitive conclusions.
