Wasted Egypt Plane Debris Found Near Greek Isle; Possible Terror Attack Higher Than Tech. Problem

Greek authorities found floating wreckage -- including two life vests -- from the Egypt flight carrying 66 people that crashed into the Mediterranean Sea early today (May 19, 2016), the USA Today website reports.

EgyptAir said the Egyptian foreign ministry confirmed to the government in an official letter that Greek authorities found the debris near the Greek island of Karpathos.

The Greek minister of defense said the Airbus A320 made two sharp turns then suddenly lost altitude before vanishing from radar 174 Miles from the Egyptian coast.

Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister Sherif Fathi said "the possibility of a terror attack" as the cause of the crash of flight MS804 is "higher than that of a technical error." He also indicated that planes don't tend to disappear that rapidly, unless they are bombed.
