According to reports, searchers have found the wreckage of EgyptAir Flight 804. This was revealed by airline Vice President Ahmed Adel in an exclusive interview from Cairo with Christine Amanpour Thursday. According to Adel, the debris was found about 150 nautical miles north of the Egyptian coast.
Also, a spokesman for Greece's Hellenic National Defense General Staff had said crew aboard an Egyptian search aircraft had spotted two floating objects 210 nautical miles southeast of Crete. It's unclear whether those objects are part of the wreckage described by Adel.
It has been speculated that the crash could possibly be as a result of terrorist attack. Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister Sharif Fathi added that technical failures and terror are both possible explanations.
"But if you analyze this situation properly, the possibility of having a different action aboard, of having a terror attack, is higher than having a technical problem," Fathi said.
EgyptAir Flight 804 from Paris to Cairo disappeared from radar Thursday morning over the Mediterranean Sea with 66 people on board.
