EgyptAir MS804 crash wreckage images Released
EGYPT: Egyptian military confirmed the discovery of wreckage drawing conclusions there were no survivors from the EgyptAir MS804 plane crash.
Egyptian authorities initially spotted a body part, two seats and suitcases during their search in the Mediterranean Sea for the crashed EgyptAir Flight 804.
French investigators are also checking again for security flaws at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, despite already stripping hundreds of employees of their security clearance since last year’s jihadist attacks.
Meanwhile, flight data suggests there were smoke alerts aboard EgyptAir Flight before it crashed into the Mediterranean Sea, CNN is reporting.
However, a US official characterised Friday’s report as an unconfirmed rumour.
In other developments, a European Space Agency says one of its satellites has spotted a possible oil slick in the same area of the Mediterranean Sea where the plane disappeared.
The agency cautioned that there was no guarantee the slick was from the missing aircraft but said its sister satellite Sentinel-2A would pass above the same area on Sunday and images will be studied for further clues as to the plane’s fate.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi expressed his condolences to the families of those on board.
“The presidency with utmost sadness and regret mourns the victims on board the EgyptAir flight who were killed after the plane crashed in the Mediterranean on its way back to Cairo from Paris,” said a statement released by his office.
The navy is sweeping the area looking for the plane’s black box, the military said.
