[EgyptAir]REUTERS/Christian Hartmann Ominous graffiti reading "We will bring this plane down" in Arabic was written underneath the EgyptAir jet that crashed en route from Paris to Cairo on Thursday morning, the New York Times reported on Saturday. The note is believed to have been written about two years ago by aviation workers at Cairo Airport who were sympathetic to the Muslim brotherhood, according to three Egyptian officials. "Playing on the phonetic similarity between the last two letters in the plane’s registration, SU-GCC, and the surname of Egypt’s president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, some workers also wrote 'traitor' and 'murderer,'" the Times reported. Three EgyptAir in-flight security officers,Walid Ouda, Mohammed Farag and Mahmoud el Sayed, were on the flight when it crashed, according to the Times. Officials said there are usually two security personnel on every EgyptAir flight, and previous statements from aviation authorities indicate that the third onboard guard was a trainee. Significantly, flights over Egypt have encountered trouble on several occasions in the past year, prompting aviation authorities to instruct pilots to fly above 26,000 feet in the region. In October 2015, a Russian airliner crashed in northern Egypt, killing all 224 people on board, and EgyptAir flight was hijacked and forced to land in Cyprus in March, prompting an hourslong standoff. No one was harmed in that incident. In 2002, an EgyptAir Boeing 737 went down near Tunis-Carthage International Airport, killing 14. In 1999, an EgyptAir flight from Los Angeles to Cairo, with a stop in New York, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, 60 miles off Nantucket Island, killing the 217 people on board. Greece's civil aviation department said that while it was in contact with the pilot, 36-year-old Capt. Mohamed Shoukair, he seemed "in good spirits and thanked the controller in Greek," after he was cleared to exit Greek airspace. Shoukair had logged more than 6,000 flying hours, and his co-pilot, 24-year-old Mohamed Mamdouh Assem, had logged just over 2,000 flying hours. Greek investigators said they found body parts, debris, and personal belongings of passengers in the Mediterranean on Friday, 140 miles north of Alexandria on Egypt's coast. French investigators confirmed on Saturday that smoke was detected in "multiple places" on board the doomed jetliner in the minutes before it crashed, likely indicating "the start of a fire." Reports have also emerged that search crews have found the black boxes from the plane, though that has yet to be confirmed. NOW WATCH: FORMER CIA DIRECTOR: Why I won't vote for Donald Trump

[Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump poses for a photo after an interview with Reuters in his office in Trump Tower, in the Manhattan borough of New York City, U.S., May 17, 2016. REUTERS/Lucas Jackson ]Thomson Reuters In an extensive interview with The New York Times, Donald Trump pondered his own success within the Republican Party, musing that he was able to gain support by eschewing the party's obsession with ideology. Trump suggested that his bombastic personality and non-traditional path to the nomination is what has gotten people to the polls to vote for him in likely record-setting numbers. He also explained why he thinks Republicans lose so many elections: One thing I’ve seen over the years is that the Democrats stick together, and the Republicans eat their young. That’s why they lose so many elections. You know, a normal, very nice, very likable Republican would be hard pressed to win. Trump certainly has obliterated his many competitors. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who was thought to be the likeliest Republican nominee before the primary season began, dropped out before winning a single state. Marco Rubio, a Florida senator considered a rising young star within the party, lost his home state to Trump. The 2016 Democratic primary has certainly tested Trump's theory about Democrats, however. The party has an insurgent candidate of its own in Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has drawn massive crowds at his rallies and drawn significant popular support among younger and more left-leaning voters. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was long expected to be the party's nominee — and likely still will be — but Sanders has refused to drop out and has pledged to fight until the end of the nomination process.
