EgyptAir missing plane MS804: Live updates

EgyptAir Flight 804 from Paris to Cairo disappeared from radar Thursday morning over the Mediterranean Sea with 66 people on board. Here’s what we know so far:

— The cause of the disappearance is more likely terrorism than a technical issue, Egypt’s civil aviation minister said.

— U.S. government officials have an initial theory that a bomb took down the plane. Officials said the theory could change, with one senior administration official cautioning it is not yet supported by a “smoking gun.”

— Greek air traffic control tried to reach the Airbus A320’s pilots about two minutes before it disappeared — but got no response.

— As the plane left Greek airspace for Egyptian airspace, it swerved sharply and plunged from 37,000 feet down to the Mediterranean, Greece says.
