Good Morning Australia!! - A haphazard beginning to the investigation into the crash of EgyptAir Flight MS804 - Australian Federal Police raid Labor sites in the middle of an election season - Hillary sticks it to Trump - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

EgyptAir Flight MS804 made two sharp turns before plunging in the Mediterranean Sea with 66 people on board.  Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos said the Airbus A320 had "turned 90 degrees left and then a 360-degree turn to the right", diving from 37,000 feet to 10,000 feet as it left air traffic controllers' radar.  Because the Cairo-bound flight originated out of Paris, France is sending an investigator as is Airbus, but Egypt will lead the investigation.  But already, Greek and Egyptian officials are taking opposite sides on reports that search and recovery teams have spotted orange debris in the sea south of the Greek islands of Kapathos and Crete.

Anonymous US sources have spent the day saying telling reporters that an explosion is suspected in the downing of MS804, but they're careful to say that it's not clear if it was caused by a bomb or a mechanical failure. And Egyptian officials say terrorist is more likely than technical failure.  But something odd happened; tech savvy Islamic State put out its daily news update, which reportedly made no mention of the crash.  In the past, IS has claimed responsibility for similar attacks within 12 hours.  There have been some claims of responsibility, but intelligence sources are likening those more to online trolling.

The Airbus A320 can accommodate up to 220 passengers, but Flight 804 was carrying only 56 passengers, including three children, plus seven crew members and three members of airline security personnel.  There were no Australians or New Zealanders on the flight; 30 were from Egypt, 15 from France, two from Iraq, and one each from Algeria, Belgium, Britain, Canada, Chad, Kuwait, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan.

The plane itself was was delivered to EgyptAir in November 2003 and had accumulated 48,000 hours of flying time, and there were no indications of trouble beforehand.  Security at Charles de Gaulle Airport outside Paris was already tight, and was ratcheted up after last year's terrorist attacks in Paris.  But in the days before the crash, the aircraft had flown round trips between Cairo and Asmara, Eritrea, as well as between Cairo and Tunis.  European and US officials have expressed concerns about security gaps in North African airports.

The crash has nothing to do with the US, but it quickly became fodder in the US presidential race.  Republican Party candidate and fascist demagogue Donald Trump immediately proclaimed the downing of Flight MS804 to be an act of terrorism, arriving at the conclusion hours before anyone actually involved in the investigation did.  Democratic former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton noted that it did "appear to be an act of terrorism", but Trump's record of making "irresponsible, reckless, dangerous comments" without any back-up proves that "he is not qualified to be president of the United States".  Hillary also said that if it was indeed terrorism, Trump's plan to ban Muslim immigration to the US would only exasperate the situation.  The White House said it's too early to definitively caused the plane to crash.

Meanwhile, Australia took a big step towards becoming a third world banana republic after Federal Police raided the office of Labor senator Stephen Conroy in Melbourne, and the home of a Labor staffer in the suburb of Brunswick.  What was the AFP's urgent reason for these raids that only by total coincidence take place in the midst of a heated election season?  Some documents leaked from National Broadband Network (NBN) related to technical bottlenecks that would make the government's plan deliver slower service than what is technically available.

The ABC quotes Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull as claiming the Australian Federal Police operates "entirely independently of the Government".  But "the Government has a great deal of explaining to do," said Shadow attorney-general Mark Dreyfus.  "All Australians are right to be concerned about the appearance of a raid being conducted on a Labor senator's office and on the homes of Labor staffers in the second week of a campaign," Mr. Dreyfus continued.  Labor shadow finance spokesman Tony Burke also questioned the timing of the raids; he says the leak, which revealed that the NBN roll-out was slower and more expensive under the Coalition than under Labor, had caused "immense damage" to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

The BBC is reporting that the Nigerian Army is claiming that a second Chibok School Girl has been rescued, more than two years after Boko Haram abducted more than 200 students from the boarding school in Chibok town.  That would mean that 217 are still missing, and presumably being held by the Islamist terrorist militia.  Earlier this week, local vigilantes rescued a young woman, identified now as Amina Ali Nkeki, and her four-month old baby.  Amina has been taken to the capital Abuja, where she met with President Muhammadu Buhari.

That's a long pizza.
