Debris of the missing EgyptAir plane was found off a Greek island, according to the Greek Army. Signs of possible wreckage were found Thursday off the Greek island of Crete in a search for an EgyptAir flight missing in the Mediterranean, according to a Greek military spokesman. "There have been finds southeast of Crete, inside the Cairo flight information area," general staff spokesman Vassilis Beletsiotis said, adding that an Egyptian C-130 plane had spotted the floating objects, and ships would be sent to investigate. Earlier information agencies and TV networks reported that the plane's debris was found south of the Greek island of Karpathos, close to the spot where a transponder signal was emitted earlier. EgyptAir Flight MS804 departed from the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris at 23:09 GMT. The aircraft was heading for Cairo International Airport. According to the airline, there were a total of 66 people on board the plane, including 56 passengers. Information on the reasons for the disappearance of the EgyptAir passenger jet over the Mediterranean Sea earlier on Thursday is not expected for several days, Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister added.
