moniquearis Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Egyptair Flight From Paris to Cairo Vanishes From Radar With 69 Aboard by ALEX JOHNSON, CHARLENE GUBASH and PHIL HELSEL An Egyptair flight from Paris to Cairo, Egypt, disappeared from radar late Wednesday night with 69 people on board, the airline said. Flight MS804, an Airbus A320, departed Charles de Gaulle Airport at 11:09 p.m. Paris time. It was at nearly 37,000 feet when it disappeared about 2:45 a.m. Cairo time (8:45 p.m. ET) about 10 miles into Egyptian airspace, Egyptair said. There was no immediate indication what might have happened to the plane, but Egyptian authorities told NBC News that search operations were under way over the Mediterranean Sea. In March, an EgyptAir flight from Alexandria, Egypt, to Cairo was hijacked by a man claiming to have an explosive belt strapped to his body. The aircraft was diverted to Cyprus, and the belt was later deemed to be a fake. Authorities said the hijacker demanded to speak to his ex-wife or to have a letter delivered to her. He later demanded asylum, a Cyprus government spokesman said. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/egyptair-flight-paris-cairo-vanishes-radar-n576541 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
