EgyptAir flight MS804 Latest Update News: EgyptAir Wreckage Indicates That An 'Explosion' Had Downed Flight 804

After finding burn marks and small human remains among the EgyptAir Flight 104, an Egyptian forensics expert said that an explosion had downed the plane. However, the head of Egypt's forensics unit dismissed the point.

"The logical explanation is that an explosion brought it down," the official said, though he did not want to be named.

Part of an investigating team, the official has personally examined the remains at a Cairo morgue.

Head of Egypt's forensics authority, Hisham Abdekhamid, tried to walk back the official's comments, dubbing them "mere assumptions" and deciding that it was too soon to arrive at conclusions.

Egyptian navy said Friday that the debris shows the plane had plunged into water. The debris in Flight 804 includes luggage, seats and body parts. It had been found just 180 miles off the Egyptian city of Alexandria, when it was flying from Paris to Cairo. It disappeared from the radar on Thursday over the Mediterranean Sea. All the 66 passengers were dead.

"The conflicting reports emerged as search teams scoured the Mediterranean Sea, racing the clock in search of the planes' voice and data recorders before their signal batteries die in about 30 days," reported USA Today.

The military forces have reportedly found debris, including body parts, about 180 miles from Alexandria. Photographs that have been disclosed by the Egyptian Army reveal a remains of the devastation, including some mangled pieces of debris, tattered clothing and a life vest.
