The BBC News channel just said that BBC Arabic journalists interviewed passengers getting off the plane, and they said that cabin crew took their passports, then the plane unexpectedly climbed in altitude, landed in Cyprus, then they were told that the plane had been hijacked. Not sure if this is useful or not. Seagull123 Φ 09:55, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Neither of the sources attached to this state that it has been confirmed that the explosives were fake. Indeed, the BBC News article says "it was unclear whether the hijacker had taken explosives on board or whether he was bluffing". Cwmxii ( talk) 10:06, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

I agree with protecting articles about a current event such as this while they are happening, because information about it changes fast and is often unreliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EvidenceFairy ( talk • contribs) 20:54, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
What is fact tag for? EgyptAir's codes or something else? 87.228.174.124 ( talk) 21:00, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
The Cairo-Alex distance is only about one third of the Alex-Larnaca distance. Does EgyptAir always carry this much excess fuel?
It looks like somebody politically minded has added a paragraph about tabloid controversies into the section describing the pure facts of the attack. I have created a new section entitled "Controversy" in order to provide this paragraph with a more fitting home. Please refrain from re-politicizing the facts section of this article. 65.96.67.40 ( talk) 20:40, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
