An EgyptAir flight disappeared over the Mediterranean Sea en route from Paris to Cairo on Thursday , triggering a search and rescue operation by the Egyptian and Greek militaries. Officials said they
believed the jet has come down in the sea.
Flight MS804, with 66 people on board, disappeared from radars while cruising above the Mediterranean at 2.29am Cairo time (8.29am Singapore time), 45 minutes before it was due to land at 3.15am, EgyptAir said.
French president Francois Hollande in a televised press conference confirmed that the plane has crashed. “We must ensure that we know everything on the causes of what happened. No hypothesis is ruled out or favoured,” he said. The Paris prosecutor’s office said its accident department had opened an investigation into the crash.
Egypt officials say this afternoon that terror attack or technical fault is the most likely cause of the crash,considering the fact that the plane swerved violently before it went down.
