On Thursday 19, Doyen Naija brought you a report on the EgyptAir Flight 804 that got missing after departing Paris for Egypt on Wednesday and was due to be in Egypt on Thursday. Unfortunately the Airbus A320 was flying at 37,000 feet when it disappeared. All efforts to trace the flight since Thursday have been futile till yesterday.
For the first time since the incident, the mangled wreckage from Egypt Air flight 804 were found. The plane's twisted blue metal panelling, marked with Egypt-Air branding, as well as items of clothing and yellow lift jackets have been recovered from the sea, as the search of the wreckage still continues at the crash site.
Investigators have confirmed that smoke alarms were reportedly sounding for almost three minutes on board the flight before it plummeted into the sea. Also, Egyptian media have reported that divers have found the blackbox of the plane, which could provide vital clues into what caused the plane to crash just as it entered Egyptian airspace on its journey to Cairo
