Egyptian naval fleet has found on Friday debris from the aircraft including plane parts, luggage and some passenger belongings, and even human remains. However, there were no signs yet of the bulk of the wreckage, or of the location pings from its black box.
Flight MS804 was en route to Cairo from Paris and was carrying 66 people, including a child, two infants and 10 crew members. It crashed minutes in between its exit from the Greek airspace and entry to the Egyptian airspace on Thursday early morning. Egyptian Prime Minister Sherif Ismail has said it was too early to rule out any cause of the crash.
