Teorin: Brinnande Iphone bakom Egypt Air-krasch

Det kan ha varit en brinnande Iphone och en brinnande Ipad som orsakade Egypt Air-kraschen för ett drygt år sedan. Den teorin har förts fram av franska myndigheter som nu ska undersöka saken närmare, enligt Le Parisien.

Enligt flera franska experter kan kraschen ha orsakats av att telefonen och paddan laddats i ett felaktigt uttag i cockpit, vilket ledde till att de började brinna.

Apple säger till Le Parisien att man inte känner till uppgifterna men att man är villig att samarbeta med myndigheterna i utredningen.

Den egyptiska utredningen kom fram till att ett attentat låg bakom kraschen. Detta efter att utredarna hittat rester av sprängämnen på några av passagerarnas kvarlevor. I maj sa franska utredare att man inte hittat några spår av sprängämnen.

bakgrund
 
EgyptAir Flight 804
Wikipedia (en)
EgyptAir Flight 804 (MS804/MSR804) was a regularly scheduled international passenger flight from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to Cairo International Airport, operated by EgyptAir. On 19 May 2016 at 02:33 Egypt Standard Time (UTC+2), the Airbus A320 crashed into the Mediterranean Sea. No mayday call was received by air traffic control, although signals that smoke had been detected in one of the aircraft's lavatories and in the avionics bay were automatically transmitted via ACARS shortly before the aircraft disappeared from radar. The last communications from the aircraft prior to its submersion were two transmissions from its emergency locator transmitter that were received by the International Cospas-Sarsat Programme. The cause of the disaster is under investigation. The plane was carrying 66 people on board: 56 passengers, 7 crew members and 3 security personnel. No survivors were found. Debris from the aircraft was found in the Mediterranean Sea approximately 290 km (180 mi) north of Alexandria. Nearly four weeks after the crash, several main sections of wreckage were identified on the seabed, and both flight recorders were recovered in a multinational search and recovery operation. On 29 June, Egyptian officials announced that the flight data recorder data indicated smoke in the aircraft, and that soot plus damage from high temperatures was found on some of the wreckage from the front section of the aircraft. As of November 2016, no further explanation about the reasons behind the crash has been given, a fact that was criticized by French foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault in August, 2016. In December 2016, Egyptian officials said traces of explosives were found on the bodies. However, on 7 May, 2017, French officials stated that no traces of explosives had been found on the bodies of the victims.
