Pictures of the crashed EgyptAir flight 804 have emerged as investigators confirmed smoke was detected in multiple places moments before the plane plummeted into the Mediterranean.
The plane’s twisted blue metal panelling, marked with EgyptAir branding, as well as items of clothing and yellow lift jackets have been recovered from the sea, where investigators continue to search the wreckage.
The cause of the crash that killed all 66 on board remains unclear but smoke alarms were sounding for almost three minutes before it began its rapid descent, according to the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) data.
Egyptian media have also reported that divers have found the blackbox between close to the crash site. The blackbox could provide vital clues into what caused the plane to crash just as it entered Egyptian airspace on its journey to Cairo.
