No EgyptAir Flight Debris Found Yet, Authorities Say

Contradictory reports remain whirling around the disappearance of flight MS804 of EgyptAir. No trace has been found of the Airbus A320.

Egyptian authorities have pleaded the press not to speculate on the possible causes behind this crash that keeps experts looking for answers.

Even though authorities have not ruled out a terror attack, they are also weighing the possibility of technical malfunctioning as the cause of the tragedy.

Early press reports this morning indicated the finding of plane debris off the coast of the Greek island of Crete, but the Egyptian Ministry of Aviation has refused to confirm that information.

Forces from Egypt, Greece and France are searching for plane and people remains in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, but no official statements have been made so far on this joint effort.

In a press release, EgyptAir has denied any canceling or rescheduling of domestic and international flights so far.

Planes and ships scoured the heavily traveled waters of the Mediterranean Sea on Thursday, searching for EgyptAir Flight 804 after it disappeared from radar and, according to authorities, presumably crashed into water as it flew from Paris to Cairo.

Flight MS804 carried 10 crew members and 56 passengers, including citizens from the UK, France, Belgium, Portugal, Egypt and Sudan. Three children were among the missing passengers.
