Egyptian Authorities Say human remains were also found in the search area in the southern Mediterranean Sea where theyre still looking for more wreckage and the bodies of those who were on board. The planes flight recorders, or socalled black boxes, could help answer what happened on the passenger jet with recordings from the cockpit in the minutes before the plane crashed. Phillip balm is the editor of an aviation magazine. Presumably, the pilots were talking about the situation at that point in time between each other, as they were desperately trying to aviate or fly the aircraft and recover it. Well also get all of the readings from all of the different pieces of equipment on hoard the aircraft, which should give us an indication of what was going wrong. Reporter it was after 2 00 a. M. Local time on thursday that the plane suddenly swerved, turning 90 degrees to the left, then spinning in a circle to the right, all the while plummeting, falling off the radar and into the water. Data published by avherald, an Aviation Industry web site, appears to list automated transmissions from the airplane just before it disappeared from radar screens. They indicate smoke in the bathroom and in the avionics bay, then alerts from the planes Flight Control systems. It implies there was something more significant that niok place. Its very rare that you will have a fire that will simply, you know, take over the aircraft and result in the aircraft actually, ultimately, crashing in the space of three minute. Reporter according to aviation experts, a loss of pressure could also have set off the smoke alarms. Mechanical failure, human error, and terrorism are all possible causes of this crash. And, reena, so far, none of have been ruled out. Ninan Holly Williams in alexandria. Thank you.

The phrase that the french are using here is that there is still no favored hypothesis. In other words, theyre keeping all of their options open. Here at Charles De Gaulle, theyve tightened security. Theyre doing an investigation to see whether there could have been anything untoward put on that plane, but, thus far, there are no conclusions that score, either.
