The Oceanus, the first vessel on the scene to search for the ill-fated Egypt air plane…
Flame in the sky… Was that the ill-fated MS804 Egypt Air A320? Could that be the plane south of the Greek Island of Karpathos in Greece’s south eastern seas?
The “Oceanus”, a bulker operated by Laskaridis Shipping was the first vessel on the scene. The ultramax of 63, 000 dwt was diverted from its course and immy started searching the area where info available was sending her towards the possible crash area.
As you read these lines, it seems as a mystery that since day-break, when we were advised for this incident, despicable and conflicting news and reports emanating from supposed to be reliable sources and leaders of various nations fly around. The plane left Paris bound for Cairo in an overnight flight and dissapeared at 01:30 BST this morning.
It is about time all this mickey-mousing about stops given the Malaysian double airplanes events and recent others still have a case to answer…
