US EditionEgyptAir plane crash which killed British man caused by oxygen fire, says coroner
- A geologist aged 40 who was raised in Carmarthen, Wales, lost his life in the May 19, 2016 crash of EgyptAir flight MS804 over the Mediterranean Sea.
- The crash resulted after the flight disappeared from radar and was caused by a fire on board, though investigations presented conflicting causes including a proposed explosive device.
- A British aviation specialist and the coroner concurred that the fire probably ignited near the cockpit area associated with the co-pilot’s oxygen equipment, spreading swiftly and rendering the aircraft uncontrollable before it crashed.
- Despite traces of explosives on wreckage and victims, expert Ken Fairbank stated the evidence does not support an explosion causing the crash, saying, "the weight of evidence is not consistent with the published scenario."
- After nearly nine years, the inquest provided closure to Osman's family, with the coroner planning a prevention report to avoid similar future tragedies.
