Missing Egypt Air Wreckage Found In Mediterranean Sea by enuelsmith: 11:35pm On Jun 15, 2016
search party commissioned to search for the wreckage of the missing EgyptAir jet has identified several main locations of the wreckage in the Mediterranean Sea.The Egyptian investigation committee confirmed the find.The committee said in a statement the ship “had identified several main locations of the wreckage, accordingly the first images of the wreckage were provided to the investigation committee.”

Flight MS804 plunged into the Mediterranean Sea with 66 people on board after taking off from Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris en route to Cairo on May 19.

A search team on board the ship, contracted by the Egyptian government, will now draw a map of the wreckage’s distribution spots.Investigators are now examining photographs taken of the wreckage from the seabed.

It was not immediately known which parts of the plane had been found, nor whether the two black boxes were nearby.The recorders, one for voice and another for data, were contained in the tail of the Airbus A320.Parts of the wreckage and some of the victims’ possessions have already been found.It is not yet known what caused the crash but investigators desperately searching for the black boxes hope the flight recorders will provide the answer. The black boxes are designed to send out signals for 30 days after a crash, leaving the search team until June 24 to find the flight recorders in the Mediterranean, which is up to 3,000 metres deep.



Egypt’s aviation minister initially said the plane may have been brought down by a terror attack, but a technical failure was also likely.

Flight data pointed to the possibility of an explosion after a series of warnings indicating smoke had filled the cabin were sent out.

Debris and some human remains have already been found around 180 miles north of Alexandria, Egypt.

The plane lost contact while cruising at around 37,000ft and had just left Greek airspace.

There were 56 passengers, including Briton Richard Osman, and 10 crew on board.
