I hope they are ok, and this is not another religiously motivated terrorist attack.

Suddenly lost contact at 37,000 feet. I think we know what this is.

Its far too early to speculate. All I'll say is cruising altitude is generally considered the safest and least eventful segment of flight.

I know each life is precious, but this could have been WAY worse. And if it's just 66 people on board, I'm thinking it's probably a weather or pilot error than a terrorist attack.

I still hope everyone's ok though.

Weather or pilot error usually doesn't cause a plane to disappear from radar instantaneously.

I could see some stupid terrorist trying to 9/11 into one of the pyramids or sphinx.

I saw this in my news feed and it's very unsettling.

This doesn't look good. Hopefully they're alright but quite unlikely at this point.
