May 19, Monday- EgyptAir Flight 804 crashed from the sky, and only pieces of the plane found.
Some pieces have been found, however, 60 people in the plane were presumed dead. Egypt, Greece, France, the United States and other nations united, and each of them used their ships and planes in searching the Mediterranean Sea north of the Egyptian port of Alexandria for the plane's voice and flight data recorders, as well as more bodies and parts of the aircraft.
In a previous report, the Flight 804 disappeared en route from Paris to Cairo last week. Some debris of the plane such as vests, personal belongings, and parts of wreckage have been recovered.
Later on, some body parts of human remains have been found by officials, and they are now trying to identify and match them to victims families. Families of victims have nearly completed giving DNA samples to help officials identify the victims, EgyptAir's vice chairman Ahmed Adel said on Tuesday.
According to the officials in the morgue, it is too early to conclude the reason why the plane crash.
"Any high velocity impact leads to defragmentations, and this is not indicative of what caused the accident," Adel told CNN .
"Let's not jump to conclusions," he added.
Amid of confusing reports about the reason of plane crash, Egyptian forensics official clarified the cause of downing of the plane in the Mediterranean Sea on Thursday.
The forensics official examined the remains of the passengers who died in the crash. The result of the examination suggested that there was an explosion on board of the plane because the body parts were very small in size and had burn marks.
"The logical explanation is that an explosion brought it down," the official told Associated Press.
