On October 7, a Tupolev Tu-154 aircraft operated by EgyptAir was involved in a critical incident shortly after departing Cairo International Airport. The flight was intended as a charter service and was carrying a small number of passengers, totaling six people. Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft experienced a stall, a situation where the airplane loses lift and begins to descend uncontrollably. Eyewitness accounts indicated that the aircraft's engines were audible straining to regain power moments before the crash. The plane did not manage to climb to a safe altitude, leading to the catastrophic event of crashing near the airport. Emergency services were promptly dispatched to the scene but found no survivors.Investigations were initiated, focusing on the aircraft's mechanical integrity and the expertise of the flight crew. Reports revealed that the airline had a track record of safety and adherence to regulations, making the incident unexpected and prompting further inquiries into operational practices. The Tu-154, a Soviet-designed tri-engine airliner, was widely used during this era for commercial flights. Its operational history included various incidents; however, this crash drew significant attention due to the circumstances surrounding it and highlighted issues related to pilot training and aircraft maintenance during the time period.
