Egyptian officials say EgyptAir plane crashed
Egyptian aviation officials say an EgyptAir flight from Paris to Cairo with 66 passengers and crew on board has crashed.
The officials say the search is now underway for the debris. They say the “possibility that the plane crashed has been confirmed,” as the plane hasn't landed in any of the nearby airports.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press.
Greece joined the rescue efforts on Thursday by deploying air assets and a frigate, the country’s defense ministry said.
