Search teams hunt for EgyptAir black boxes

267

CAIRO: Search teams scoured the Mediterranean Saturday for more wreckage and the black boxes from EgyptAir flight MS804 for clues on why plane plummeted and turned full circle before disappearing off radar.

An EgyptAir official said the search was focused on finding the bodies of the passengers and the Airbus A320’s flight recorders, which will stop emitting a signal in a month when the batteries run out.

The plane carrying 66 passengers plunged into the Mediterranean early Thursday while flying from Paris to Cairo.
