The mvp taking one for his team leading the Golden State Warriors to victory plus the nolook shot of the night everyone is talking about this morning. And good morning, america. We want to get right to that breaking news. An egyptair flight heading from paris to cairo disappeared overnight, 66 people on board. The radar shows it over the mediterranean after it entered egyptian airspace. Youre looking live at the airport in cairo where it was headed. Passengers families gathering there. It is an airbus a320 with 56 passengers, ten crew members on board. It departed Charles De Gaulle airport in paris at 11 09 p. M. Local time and officials lost contact with it as it was over water 3 40 into that flight. The french president spoke confirming it was damaged and lost. We have full Team Coverage live in paris and cairo and begin with our aviation correspondent david kerley in washington, good morning, david. Reporter good morning, at this hour an air and sea search is under way for the wreckage but already there are several clues about this crash and whether it was an accident or an act of terrorism. The airbus a320 with 66 people on board including ten crew was on a late night flight to cairo leaving Charles De Gaulle airport at 11 09 local time. With only 20 minutes left in the fourhour flight, the pilot speaks to air Traffic Control saying all is fine. Just three minutes later, the jet disappears from radar over the mediterranean northwest of cairo. The jet had been in egyptian airspace for ten minutes at an altitude of 37,000 feet. Egyptair is reporting receiving an emergency signal possibly from one of the planes emergency transmitters which are activated by water. Griefstricken family members rushed to both airports hoping to get more information. According to egyptair, the pilot had more than 6,000 hours of flying time on the airbus a320. His copilot more than 2,000 hours. Egypt, greece and france are coordinating search efforts now in the daylight hours. Mari marinetraffic. Com showing five freighters scrambling to what could be the crash zone. Among the ten crew members three were reportedly Security Officials similar to u. S. Air marshals which frances transport minister calls usual practice. So heres what we know at this point. This jet was in egyptian airspace at cruising altitude when it drops off radar with no distress call from the pilot. That suggests something sudden and dont forget, there were three air marshals on this flight. Many questions still this morning but it appears officials do have a good idea where this wreckage is and it, the wreckage and black boxes will likely reveal whether this was an accident or act of terrorism. Robin. All right, david, thank you. As we said egyptair flight 804 took off from Charles De Gaulle airport in paris late last night heading for cairo and Alex Marquardt is there at the paris airport with the latest as the families of those missing gather. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, robin. Thats right. This is terminal 1 at Charles De Gaulle airport where these passengers came before midnight to check into their flight. 56 of them, among them 15 french citizens and this morning their families desperately waiting for any news. The french government is taking care of those families in a nearby Airport Hotel in one of two crisis centers, the second investigating on the investigation that the french have launched. Just a short time ago frances president hollande came out with a statement saying the information we have at this stage confirms this plane was damaged and lost. The french have offered help in this search. They have sent a plane to the mediterranean to join egyptian and greek assets. Now after those two devastating terror attacks here in paris last year, security was beefed up, across the city and here at the airport and, of course, the immediate fear is that this incident could be terror related, as well. Back to you. Okay, alex, now we turn to randa ali at the cairo airport. Good morning, randa. What is the scene there right now . Good morning. The scene is relatively calm except for the families of the passengers who come in and leave back and forth. The general sentiment is shock. Theyre all in shock and a lot of people are in tears. Not interested in talking to the press except to tell them that my son was on that or my daughter was a Flight Attendant on this plane and thats the general sentiment, just shock from the families. We have avenue heard from the french president. What are we hearing from egyptian officials this morning . Well, there is a press conference thats supposed to take place in 30 minutes with the minister of civil aviation. There has been no official finding yet. I talked to egyptair earlier and they said there is no official there is no official statement yet out and yet they are not denying whether it has crashed or not. No official statement out yet. Okay. Just waiting for the press conference. We will keep an eye on that. Randa ali, thanks very much. We turn to abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross. As we said Nothing Official now but authorities are looking into the possibility of a bomb on board and whether this could be a link to terrorism . Thats right, robin. Good morning, french authorities are already studying airport Surveillance Video at Charles De Gaulle airport operating on the theory at this point only a theory that a bomb was smuggled onto the plane. In the last several weeks aviation Security Officials have been warning of possible many bos hidden in Laptop Computers. Terror groups in somalia have twice been linked to just such explosi explosives. In one case earlier this year on board a jetliner able to land safely. In another case, a laptop bomb that went off in an airport. The most recent suspected terror attack to bring down an aircraft involved a russian jet that blew up over the sinai desert in egypt killing 224 people. Counterterror officials believe it was an inside job in which terrorists used back of the airport workers to smuggle an explosive device on board. Even with the best of security screening machines, if you have an insider who is willing to place an explosive on a plane, you have a real problem. Reporter isis later took responsibility for downing the russian jet posting this photo of what it said was the bomb hidden in a beverage can with a simple detonator. Close the switch and arm the timer to start its countdown. Reporter both isis and al qaeda have long targeted airplanes and airports. And the master al qaeda bomb maker remains at large despite repeated efforts to kill him. Egypt and france have both been regularly targeted by a variety of terror groups and no shortage of candidates who might be responsible. Terrorism is only a working theory, one that can be not confirmed until the planes wreckage is located and tested for explosives. We heard in your report before inside job. How likely is it the case . Great concern. Back in december more than a dozen authorities dozen workers at airports in france lost their security clearance because of known ties to isisonline ties so its a great concern that an inside job could take place that somebody working at the airport could smuggle the bomb on. How likely is the possibility this is terrorism gentleman. Well, right now its a theory but the working assumption. Authorities have to operate on that assumption and right now theyre try tock find anybody who was in proximity to the plane who had access to talk to them. Searching over everything, thank you. Lets dig in more with Stephen Ganyard and our consultant brad garrett former fbi special agent. Steve, let me begin with you. As brian said the working theory could be an act of terror right now but lets go back to the plane and the possibility of a mechanical failure. It was a clear day. Can you rule that out . Yeah, you can never rule it out, george, until were able to do the whole investigation but in this case we have very good data coming from the airplane that was being updated at onesecond intervals at 37,000 feet and it disappeared. Airplanes, airliners do not disappear and looking at the idea that something catastrophic occurred like a bomb. When you think of 37,000 feet over the water, not over land, is that too high for a surfacetoair missile or shoulderfired missile . It is. Remember, you and i have talked about when the shoulderfired missiles have a limited altitude so were concerned that terrorists have these kinds of surfacetoair missiles but only go up to about 20,000 feet. This would require Something Like a radar guided very sophisticated radar guided missile up to 37,000 and u. S. Intelligence authorities would probably have some sort of an electronic signature that would warn them and say, hey, somebodys been shooting this kind of missile. So far we arent getting that guidance from u. S. Intelligence officials. Brad garrett, if the working theory is an inside job, perhaps a bomb on board what clues would agents be following now to get to the bottom of this . Well, the real key, george, is going to be who had access to the plane because typically bombs that take down planes are in the cargo bay like lockerbie, scotland, pan am 103, so who had access to the plane . Do they have video of the loading of the plane . But the real key is the background of the individuals working at the airport. As brian pointed out, theres a real issue in paris and france in general about extremists being involved in traditional jobs at airports and other locations, so thats where im going to be focusing in addition obviously to the passenger manifest. When you talk about that passenger manifest, given the facts as laid out by Steve Ganyard that it just disappeared can you rule out hijacking or is that a lesser theory . Well, i suppose you could say that, george, but typically in hijacking, the hijacker wants attention, hes going to talk to the pilots, the flight crew, to get the cameras and the media attached to them. So i would say thats not probably likely based on the information we have. And, Steve Ganyard, were just getting information from the Greek Defense minister who said the information he has is that the plane made some abrupt turns and lost altitude before going down. What does that tell you . Well, first of all, george, we have to be careful here. If you remember back during the metrojet, the Russian Airliner brought down out of sharm el sheikh, the word we got out of the egyptians was never quite accurate and never got quite the right story. We have good data on the flight. No indication of any heading change, it just stopped flying at 37,000 feet. And i guess brad, as well, theyll be looking for eyewants, any kind of eyewitnesses. Some reports of people seeing a fireball but thats going to be key, as well. Yeah, i think one of the things here thats important, normally we want to get to the black boxes but in this case because it was likely catastrophic what theyll want to do is get to the wreckage thats at the bottom of the mediterranean right now and look for witness marks that would have shown some type of an explosion so we really teed to get to the wreckage thats on the bottom of the mediterranean. And, brad garrett, if it does turn out this was some kind of a terrorist act and bomb that perhaps originated in france, it seems like france now the e epicenter, so much a target in the heart of europe right now. It is and it would make sense, george of isis or other groups to again use france as the victims even though the flight was obviously closer to egypt. So i think thats a very good working theory as to maybe whats going on here. One thing we have not seen yet, brian ross, any claim of responsibility. Thats right. Were scouring online. Generally it takes a day or two before terror groups will claim responsibility but they will want to claim responsibility if a terror group is responsible. Brian ross, Steve Ganyard, brad garrett, thanks very much. The latest on Airport Security here at home. Abcs mary bruce is at Reagan National airport with more on that. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning. Well, u. S. Officials have been monitoring this situation closely overnight from the tsa to the faa and Homeland Security trying to glean any information. Now, its unclear at this point if they will change security measures at airports like this one, but its not uncommon for officials to make adjustments even as they are investigating. Now, all this comes, of course, as frustration is boiling over over these growing security lines at airports across the country. Thousands of travelers are being delayed and missing flights and now all of those complaints have lefthanded on capitol hill. Frustrated flyers are hoping the administration and lawmakers can finally do something to address this problem. Robin. Mary, a lot of people heading to the airports this morning. How soon could this affect the growing security lines as youve just discussed . Well, the tsa has not announced any changes just yet. But, robin, they are keeping a close eye on this ongoing investigation. All right, mary bruce, thank you. Back to david kerley in washington covering this crisis with the tsa at airports all across the country and tobacco growing for weeks now and will get worse. It is going to get worse, george. This is something that tsa talked about, in fact, the Homeland Security secretary talked about it on friday. They said theyre not going to skimp on safety or security. You know, we have an incident like this and reminds people of how safe and secure they want to be when they go to the airports but then when we get the lines because tsa changed some of the procedures not because of brussels or any other attack but because they failed some tests last year and get these lines because tsa says they dont have enough officers its that balance. We want to stay safe and secure. None of us wants to spend three hours in line and thats the dilemma were facing. The white house is saying congress should fully fund tsa, give them more officers which the tsa says they need because so many more of us are flying. But this is another reminder, another incident thats just going to cement that idea that these when we go through tsa, these security measures cannot be reduced or relaxed so that we can stay safe, guys. Okay, david. Thank you. Going on to abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas now with more on how u. S. Officials are responding to all of this. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, robin. U. S. Officials were alerted to this immediately last night. I was speaking to officials this morning. They are trying to get as much information as they can as quickly as they can because they know what happens overseas can have a direct impact inside the united states, again, the officials i spoke to have no clear indication of what this is or what this is not. But obviously they will be looking at security across the board and talking very closely to their french counterparts about what might have happened because, again, terrorism has been our primary concern for months now concerning Aviation Security and u. S. Officials want to make sure theyre on top of any developments, again, when this happened they were all over it last night, robin, george. All right. Thank you, pierre and, of course, this is a very fluid situation and we will stay on top of this story. Right now to amy with todays other top stories starting with a u. S. Military jet crash. Yeah, thats right. Its remarkable that no one was injured. Youll see why when you look. The air force bomber a b52 aborted takeoff in guam and crashed but the seven crew members on board escaped in time. The air force is calling the incident a mishap. The bomber was deployed as part of the militarys security presence in the pacific. Meanwhile, the pentagon is investigating a close call between a u. S. Navy plane and two chinese fighter jets. The american spy plane was flying over the South China Sea when the chinese jets came within 100 feet of it. U. S. Officials say the american pilot was actually forced to maneuver to avoid a collision. Well, in washington, overnight House Republicans approved spending 622 million to fight the spread of the zika virus this summer. But that now sets up a showdown with the senate and white house which argued that is not nearly enough money. In florida a dramatic car crash during a highspeed chase, a Police Cruiser blows through a red light you see there and slams into a car sending it spinning in circles. The driver in the blue car was injured but is expected to be okay. The officer was pursuing an Armed Robbery suspect near orlando. Well, in sports it was a wild night of basketball. Fans holding their breath after superstar mvp steph curry went diving into the stands, look at that chasing a loose ball. He was okay and later went on a scoring rampage, 28 points as the warriors blew out the thunder, 11891 to even the series, 15 of those points in two minutes by the way but here was the shot of the night. We have a nolook layup from andre iguodala. Nice. Did i say that all right . It was in a phonetic spelling. Iguodala. But look at that. He knew it was going in too. Im not looking because i know i got it. Thats right. Oh, yeah. Watch it happen. Boom. As you said the series now tied at 11. How about that steph curry.
