EgyptAir AirbusA320 Crashed in the Mediterranean

An Egyptair flight MS804 that lost communications with Control in Cairo has reportedly crashed in the Mediterranean.

The flight which left Paris for Cairo was lost mid air at about 37,000ft above seas level. The plane which had a total of 66 passenger which includes, Egyptians, French citizens, Belgian, Sudanese and a Brit was surpose to touch down in  Cairo by 3:05am (Egyptian time) but lost all controls with the Airport control with no distress call whatsoever.

Reports has it that the plane has supposedly crashed after the Egyptian Air Officials said that they picked up what they thought to be an emergency beacon 2 hours after the plane disappeared from radar.

The possibility of the crash has been confimed since the plane which was 16 kilometers (10miles) into Egyptian Airspace, around 280km (175miles) off the country's coastline north of the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria didn't land in any nearby airport.

Search parties which includes Egyptian Military Aircraft and Navy Ships are taking part in a search operation to locate the plane off Egypt's Mediterranean Coast.

15 family members and relatives of the passenger on board has arrived the Egyptian Airport and Doctors has been deployed to take care of some relatives who collapsed on hearing the news of the plane's mishaps.

Also earlier this year (March precisely), an EgyptAir plane was hijacked and diverted to Cyprus. A man who confessed to the crime was described by authorities as "psychologically unstable" in the custody in Cyprus.

The incident renewed concerns over the security and safety of Egyptian Airports and Airspace after a Russian passenger plane crashed in Sinai in October 2015.

Russian officials reported that it was shot down by an explosive device and that a local branch of Islamic State is responsible for the attack that killed all 224 passengers and crew on board.

Another major air crash related to Egypt was in 1999 when an EgyptAir Flight 990 crashed near the Massachusetts Island of Nantucket into the Atlantic Ocean killing all 217 passengers and crew members on board. U.S investigators  filed a final report that concluded that the flight's co-pilot switched off the autopilot function on the plane and pointed Boeing 767 downward as Suicide. But Egyptian officials refuted the report of the crash as a Suicide Mision.
