A Cairo-bound EgyptAir flight that went down in the Mediterranean Sea with 66 aboard early Thursday hours after departing from Paris zig-zagged sharply before plunging, according to aviation officials, who said terrorism was a more likely cause of the crash than technical failure.
Government officials from France, Greece and Egypt spoke at separate news conferences even as boats and ships from several countries were scouring the waters off of the Greek island of Karpathos, near where a witness reported seeing a fireball in the sky.
By midday Thursday, an Egyptian plane spotted two orange items believed to be from the missing plane, a Greek military official told The Associated Press.
The official said the items were found 230 miles south-southeast of the island of Crete but still within the Egyptian air traffic control area. One of the items was oblong, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in accordance with regulations.
Speaking from Cairo, Egyptian Minister of Aviation Sherif Fathy said all officials can confirm for now is that the AirBus 320, which left Charles de Gaulle Airport at 11:09 p.m. local time Wednesday and was due in Cairo at 3:15 a.m., "vanished."
"I'm not excluding any theory," said Fathy, who responded to a reporter’s question by saying that the possibility of a terror attack as the cause of the crash is "stronger" than technical failure.

I’d say in today’s world under lead from behind on terror Obama, terrorism is the MOST likely reason - it’s actually being encouraged by Obama’s lack of effort to destroy ISIS.
More importantly, did the plane have unisex bathroom?
A first good step for us would be to not hire muslims in the airline industry. Fly muslim airlines at your own peril.
Might also notice it was the 19th.
AND THE 19TH MEANING IS?
Thanks.
I’ll bite. Why?
hell, my bookie coulda told me that... and the odds too
Any location that harbors islamic scum should be bombed if the local “innocent” moslems will not take them out themselves.
Just do it.
Shoebat says two of the passengers had exact same names as 2 guys released from Gitmo...
Just mohamhead commiting mohamicide.
Interesting.
Grammar is important: I just saw this tweet, which appears to blame an Australian for bringing down the plane.
“Australian on board downed EgyptAir plane.”
When in reality it’s only mentioning that an Australian was on board, not calling him a terrorist.
Thanks mandaladon.
Who has absolutely verified that the aircraft crashed?
The aircraft took a 90 degree left turn. Let’s see.....what country is to the left of where it went off of radar? SYRIA!
Then it took a 360 degree right turn to.....SYRIA!
It went off of radar at 9,000 feet. Going off of the radar at 9,000 feet does not necessarily mean that it crashed.
Where is the evidence that it has actually crashed or ‘went down’ in the Med?
Aircraft and ships have been searching for 24 hours and thus far there is no wreckage.
I rest my case, your honor! ;-)
Interesting.
“Interesting.”
Yes, I thought so, too. You heard it here first! ;-)
It was a missle. That’s why the aircraft veered off at a 90 degree angle initially and then got hit. Cartwheeled down.
Oh how horrible it must be for the families involved. Prayers up for all of them.
