| EgyptAir Plane ‘Crashed’ With 66 Aboard Posted: 19 May 2016 05:55 AM PDT Read This, Skip That...   | |  French President François Hollande and Egyptian officials have confirmed that an EgyptAir plane that took off from Paris bound for Cairo late Wednesday night crashed into the Mediterranean. "The information we have gathered—ministers, members of government, and, of course, the Egyptian authorities—confirm, sadly, that it has crashed," Hollande said early Thursday. "It is lost." Flight MS804 vanished from radar screens once inside Egyptian airspace, prompting Egyptian and Greek authorities to launch a massive search and rescue operation for the Airbus 320. Flight MS804, which had 56 passengers, including two infants, and 10 crew aboard, was scheduled to depart Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport at 10:45 p.m. but left shortly later, at 11:09 p.m. It vanished at an altitude of 37,000 feet, at 2:45 a.m., according to the airline's Twitter feed. It was reportedly completing its fifth flight of the day when it went missing. Weather conditions were clear and calm. Egypt's civil aviation ministry said a signal from MS804 pinged at 4:26 a.m., though it wasn't clear if the call was from a crew member or an automated signal from the plane itself. According to reports, in fewer than 24 hours, the plane flew from Tunisia to Cairo before heading to Paris and back. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  Paris prosecutors have launched their own investigation into MS804, the missing EgyptAir flight is reported to have crashed in the Mediterranean with 15 French citizens on board, according to a statement issued Thursday. The Cairo flight departed from Charles de Gaulle Airport and never landed in Egypt. The probe "will begin by hearing statements from all those who came near the plane—the airport staff, baggage handlers who loaded the luggage inside the plane," said Dominique Grizet, a specialist crime reporter for France's BFMTV. "The lives of all those people who had anything to do with that plane which spent an hour in Roissy [Charles de Gaulle airport] will be delved into." | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  Jeff Bezos launched a counterattack on presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump late Wednesday, calling the reality-TV star's actions "not an appropriate way for a presidential candidate to behave." Trump has criticized The Washington Post and threatened Amazon—both owned by Bezos—in various formats. Trump has claimed that Amazon is "getting away with murder, tax-wise. [Bezos is] using The Washington Post for power so that the politicians in Washington don't tax Amazon like they should be taxed." In his response, Bezos noted that "a company like Amazon deserves to be scrutinized and criticized." He added, "It's critical that we be able to carefully examine our leaders." Bezos also defended the freedom of the press. "The citizens of this country make decisions and they need information to make those decisions," he said. "We want a society where any of us, any individual or institution, if they choose to, can scrutinize, examine, and criticize an elected official, especially a candidate for the highest office in the most powerful country on earth. It's critical. What would be shocking and disturbing is if you weren't doing that." | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  Bayer AG has made an unsolicited bid to take over U.S. seed and pesticide giant Monsanto, which, if successful, would create an agriculture behemoth with annual revenue of more than $67 billion. Bayer said early Thursday the deal "would create a leading integrated agriculture business," and Monsanto officials said its board was reviewing the bid. A statement called the offer "unsolicited" and "non-binding." Even if Monsanto is interested, regulators may not be willing to bless the deal that would marry off the creator of aspirin to the inventor of the controversial herbicide Roundup. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  Mott & Bow, NYC's premiere denim startup, made its name handcrafting outrageously comfortable, premium-quality jeans—and selling them online for a fair price.

"For example, I looked at The New York Times. Are they going to interview Juanita Broaddrick? Are they going to interview Paula Jones? Are they going to interview Kathleen Willey?" Hannity asked Trump, per the transcript of the show. "In one case, it's about exposure. In another case, it's about groping and fondling and touching against a woman's will." "And rape," Trump added.With no challenge to the validity of his statement, Hannity responded: "And rape.""And big settlements, massive settlements," Trump continued. "And lots of other things. And impeachment for lying."Trump himself has been accused of rape by his ex-wife Ivana. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to the U.S. Air Force, a B-52 plane crashed on Guam moments after takeoff.

At his posh Florida resort Mar-a-Lago, revenue hit $30 million since the beginning of his campaign, nearly double the $16 million recorded in 2014. Even sales of the orange-hued demagogue's bottled-water brand, Trump Ice, have jumped, to $413,000 from $280,000 in 2015. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered up apologies late Wednesday after he was accused of "manhandling" a member of parliament during a debate about an assisted-dying bill.
