Plane disappeared after entering Egypt airspace


The flight EgyptAir 804, which crashed over the Mediterranean Sea, had departed Paris at 11:09 p.m. on Wednesday. The pilot spoke to Greek air traffic controllers at 2:26 a.m., and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, officials said. Three or four minutes later, the plane made its last radar contact. At 2:37 a.m., shortly after entering Egyptian airspace, the plane made a 90-degree turn to the left and then a full circle to the right, first plunging to 15,000 feet from 37,000 feet and then to 9,000 feet. At that point it disappeared from radar, the Greek Defence Minister, Panos Kammenos, said at a news conference on Thursday afternoon.
