it was coming from paris. paris to cairo. it disappeared about 4:07 in the morning, just a little bit over an hour ago. and again, the route was from paris to cairo. and i just asked mary david a short time ago what route were they taking, and this is coming again from cnn. producers, and it appears they took off from paris, over croatia, sort of went to the side of italy oe-mails, you'll route they have for 804. okay, this is a presumed route. it may not be the specific route, over greece, over the mediterranean sea, and again, landing in cairo, egypt. what is that like in that area, mary schiavo? >> well, it's very, very busy traffic area, except not usually this early in the morning. when you look at flight aware and other tracking services, you just see an awful lot of flights on this particular route. the -- it's hard to, you know, guess what the weather is. there's a fair amount of weather, kind of a little to the east of there, you get a little bit more -- a bit more of the weather. i don't have, i'm not finding right

and before taking off from paris. it's done by the cockpit crew, they have a check list that they have to go through, the cabin crew has a check list that they have to go through. the security crew has a check list to go through. so it's business as usual. we did not get any red flags. >> you just mentioned some relatives of those who were on board this missing flight, arriving in cairo. have you met with them? what are people from egyptair telling these poor souls? >> we have met with them. i would rather not disclose anything that we are telling them now to respect their privacy. we're going to have a briefing with them tomorrow about all of the information that we know and then we're going to make a press release right after the briefing. >> ahmed adel, president of egyptair, thank you for your time and best of luck in your search. >> thank you, sir. good-bye. >>> let's bring in cnn correspondent tom foreman from our virtual room. a tragic story and so many questions surrounding this crash. tell us what we do know

when i look at it passengers from the standpoint coming from paris, screening at the paris airport is really good, they use area that is are considered high threat. that's what draws me to the idea that maybe somebody from the inside put it on there, not necessarily paris, it could have been tunic a. >> bob hager, when you been involved in these in the past, these investigations, i think of twa and some of the other deep water searches that have taken place. what are the beyond the initial search and rescues and what is the mechanism and who is involved in that? >> it is who has the best asset and is willing to turn them over. when we did the rescue operations, recover the break a. wreckage. it is always difficult, i mean, lowering divers in those kind of depths, it is tricky. you have to have camera to locate the wreckage and radar to map the bottom. it is a tough, tough job and really heavy equipment to get the wreckage up to the surface. that's only recovering the wreckage and now you got to bring it some where on shore and try to piece it together and look for tiny little clues th

the airbus disappeared over the mediterranean en route from paris to cairo. also on the show -- the only chibok schoolgirl to be freed from boko haram met with the president f nigeria. can she shed light on the fate of the other 200 girls still missing? and, a look at the toxic red tide causing wildlife disasters along the southeastern coast of chile. is it caused by el niÑo, or by humans? anchor: good to have you with us. tonight, it looks like a terror attack. the egyptian government has said terrorism is most likely would cost the crash of an egyptair jet with 66 people on board. the plane was en route from paris to cairo when it vanished from radar over the mediterranean. the airline says that pieces of the airbus a320 have been found off the greek island of karpatho s, but a greek transportation safety official tonight says the debris does not come from an aircraft. french president francois hollande is keeping an open mind on the cause of the crash. he said, the world should wait for the evidence and not rush to judgment. news cannot come fast enough f

it came out of paris. if there is any mechanical issue, they have airbus and they have their own maintenance folks there to deal with any maintenance issues. but investigators are going to be looking for trend information. were there particular issues with the aircraft that were reoccurring? they fix and it still have a problem, things like that, that could give indication if it was a mechanical failure. >> if it was a mechanical failure at some 37,000 feet over the water, there could be a possibility of some communication from the air traffic control from egypt or maybe over greece and maybe some communications. so far we have -- so far, no communications, no distress call. nothing unusual in the communications between the folks in that airplane. 66 people on board. and ground control, in greece, or in egypt, and certainly nothing coming out of france. stay with me. we are going to go back to london. >>> we continue following breaking news. a plane crash, 66 people on board from charles de gaulle in paris

one of the participants in the brussels and paris bombings purchased detonators from a source near paris. there are a lot of things that point to the airport. when you sweep the plane it is overnight maintenance and overnight staff. as you stop at various airports along the day what is a better way to describe is a walk around and you do look for obvious problems but at charles de gaulle airport there was something written on the plane. >> the notion that the investigation will be so quick i can only assume it began within moments of learning the plane had disappeared of everybody who had access to the plane, to the tarmac, the staff, the crew, the pilots and the manifest of the passengers. this is a massive forensic operation. >> and remember with the metro jet bombing isis said we managed to smuggle a guy into the airport at sharm el sheikh. it was a soda can filled with an explosive material. if this is the case then france has got a major, major problem on its hands. if terrorists of any stride can infiltrate charles de gaulle airport and work as technicians or flight crew or a pilot

. >> the plane left paris late last night heading to cairo, egypt. it vanished from radar early this morning. an airline official now distress call was received from the airplane's emergency equipment before they lost contact with it. aviation officials also confirm the plane has crashed. >> egyptair says the airbus was flying in egyptian air space at the time. it had just in fact enteredee gypion air space. conditions were fairly clear at the time. so that might not have been. a major factor. so what was the major factor in this? let's bring in matt olsen. matt, you hear the sort of news that a plane at cruising altitude which içs supposed toe the safest point disappears out of the air and you think what? >> yeah, well we don't know exactly yet what the cause was, of course. but given what we do know that this was a plane taking off from egypt that, it was destined for paris, france, you have to consider the possibility. >> or the other way around. just wanted to clarify. go there was terrorism involved. given this part of the world and given wha

this started in paris. a lot of stops before paris. why homeland security chairman is worried about paris and supposedly safe europe. and only harken back to attacks in the city but in brussels. it has happened and reports today that isis wants to make it happen all over again. h becomes part of a club you definitely want to be in. real cheese people would never eat a slice wrapped in plastic when they can have a slice of 100% real. natural cheese slices from sargento. we're real cheese people. >>> they think in these waters this is where egyptair went down. what they're not sure, these are pretty big waters here. this is the eastern meds at the raran, 200 middle east of crete. so, you're covering a lot of territory there. but they thought they were seeing wreckage from the schupp -- from the ship, but it wasn't. kind of like finding a need until a haystack. but the think they can hone in on this. catherine herridge with the latest. >> reporter: the white house was asked about reports a bomb is early theory. >> i'm not aware of any sor

let's go to paris. i want to get into the aspect of this of who was on that plane, who could have had access to the plane while it was there in paris and we talked about the flight, where this plane had been in the 48 hours previous to landing at charles de gaulle. this is a western airport that we here in the united states believe is a secure airport. so the idea that a bomb got put on it while in paris seems to be pretty frightening. >> reporter: yeah. such a good question because that's where the spotlight will turn very quickly, if as it does appear they do pursue this line of inquiry through the question of whether there was an explosion on board and whether, in fact, this was caused by a bomb. if that is the conclusion and it's interesting to note that you heard the egyptians first say that they thought it was more likely to be terror related and then the news from u.s. intelligence officials that they suspect that there was an explosion. i think those two things may be connected. it does come to

generally in paris to a possible attack. >> reporter: well, authorities across paris whether it's in the center of town at all the tourist sites, museums, at sensitive sites like the airports certainly in the wake of the brussels attack at the end of march which targeted the brussels airport, you can be sure they were at a very security officials are very visible. heavily armed police as well as soldiers dressed in camouflage and patrolling with automatic weapons. so there would be very significant security at charles de gaulle airport and across paris, certainly more significant than at the egyptian airport we were just talking about. i traveled through many times over the course of the past few years and they are quite easy to get through the with sort of just these notional patdowns. you'll remember back in march, an egyptair flight was diverted to cyprus after a man they said was psychologically unstable used -- got a fake suicide vest through the metal detecters past plane officials and diverted that plane to cyprus in order to try to win back his ex-wife. that highlighted the l

it took off from paris, there were attacks in paris, there were issues of jihadists in paris and brussels. i think the investigation ordered by the french president is very meaningful and will show us probably something. maria: okay, walid, stay with us. we will take a short break and come back with the late eciÓn developments of the egypt air flight in the mediterranean sea. stay with us this just got interesting. why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas for pulmonary hypertension, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you hav

the french have had an emergency meeting in paris. the french transport minister confirming there was no sort of sensitive or dangerous pilot on board. the french offering their services in terms of rescue. as you know, this is a very busy part of the world. a very busy part of the mediterranean. we're trying to get an idea of how many vessels are in that area, militarily or otherwise. you would have italians, lots of european contingencies in that region, for no other reason than the refugee crisis. we'll see what they come up with. >> kelly in london. thank you vex. we're seeing these images after cairo airport. it is after 10:53 in the morning. 9:53 paris time. tom costello was talking about how everything seemed so routine and mundane and average and this flight from paris to cairo. and that all the times that these planes had to control with the control tower. and everything was perfect. all of a sudden, poof. disappeared. >> there are times like this, and you and i have had this conversation many times. we're at war. this is a d

originate paris-cairo and cairo-paris and now on its way back where you add up to the fifth flight. that's completely reasonable. but they would have swapped the crew out. just trying to get to what we know factually at this point. the pilot, we are told he had flown in total i think 6,000 hours. what does that tell you? >> a fairly experienced pilot and not a rookie by a long shot. i got a little over 4500 hours, but mine were in the tactile aircrafts which means my flights were of shorter duration than those of most airline pilots. mine was built some as short as an hour and 15 minutes and others two and a half to three hours. he is -- he or she is very experienced for handling the duty and especially as a captain. that's not that unusual and untypical for this equipment. >> i am reading additional information and it is continuing to come in. it was supposed to land around 3:15 a.m. and the disappearing on radar around 2:30 a.m. the particular radar. what would the pilot had been experiencing in terms of air traffic control if you are are crossing from one and -- i asked about thi

it took off from paris. when they found some of this debris, assuming that they do find this debris, where do they take this debris? does it go back to cairo? does it go back to paris? or to france, rather, because they have that laboratory where they can analyze these pieces of wreckage. >> reporter: they're taking the lead, the egyptian air traffic investigators, but we know the three air traffic investigators from france have left to join that investigation. and also, technicians from airbus as well, the manufacturer of the plane to advise. certainly, in other investigations they've been sent to the u.k., for example, the black boxes, once they've been found. we know the french foreign minister is very focussed on the black boxes, trying to find out what they can from them. so the immediate concern is recovering those as well, and then if airbus or the french investigators have the most expertise, and i'm sure the egyptians will lean on that and will potentially bring the black boxes to france or the u.k.

an egypt air flight heading from paris to cairo crashed into the mediterranean sea. the search is on for the wreckage and why it fell out of the sky. >>> new this morning, officers on patrol are in involved in an overnight crash. while bernie sanders and hillary clinton fight for every last delegate, there are fears of disruption in philadelphia this summer. those stories all next on "action news." nd earlier today we spoke about that with abc news contributor matthew olsen, the former director of the national counterterrorism center. >> well, maybe there's some information in the distress signal that we'll learn about later as the investigation ensues, but it seems to me that it could be consistent with either a mechanical failure or a terrorism event. either way, some sort of catastrophic event appears to have occurred. >> matt, on board this flight you had 30 egyptian, some french, 15 french citizen, you had a few others from the west including a canadian citizen and one britton was on board the flight. would that be the sort of plane terrorists would try to attac

airports of paris down about 1.4% so far. markets here in the u.s., futures are pointing to a lower open. we saw quite a sea saw session yesterday immediately after the fed minutes pointing to possible rate hikes. and the dow fell more than a one hundred points negative. and at the end of the day the dow was flat. as you can see now we are more pointedly in red. down about 70 for the dow with the s&p and the nasdaq also called lower by in and around .4%. let's have a look at oil as well. it did hit a new high of 49.85. finished down about a quarter of a percent. down again today about 2% for wti. >> here we go again. the federal reserve hints and investors react across assets. stocks commodities, bond, and currencies. and then the question is. does the federal reserve react to the market panic. is it going to be pronounced enough for them to get cautious again? because we went through this whole exercise over the last year. >> i think the key from yesterday is there was a very pronounced reaction in the dollar, very pronounce

generally in paris to a possible attack. >> reporter: well, authorities across paris whether it's in the center of town at all the tourist sites, museums, at sensitive sites like the airports certainly in the wake of the brussels attack at the end of march which targeted the brussels airport, you can be sure they were at a very heightened state of alert. security officials are very visible. heavily armed police as well as soldiers dressed in camouflage and patrolling with automatic weapons. so there would be very significant security at charles de gaulle airport and across paris, certainly more significant than at the egyptian airport we were just talking about. whether it's cairo or sharm el sheikh. i traveled through many times over the course of the past few years and they are quite easy to get through with these sort of just notional patdowns. not heavy security. you'll remember back in march, an egyptair flight was diverted to cyprus after a man they said was psychologically unstable used -- got a fake suicide vest through the metal detecters past plane officials and diverted th

you think about paris, cal. look at paris. it was the site of the horrible attacks at the end of last year. "charlie hebdo" early in the year prior to that. and then brussels right on the heels of that, in an art. >> security was already heightened at paris airport at l after the brussels attacks and remained at that level and was heightened today when this flight left paris. it's the things that we take for granted that people go after. certainly isis, in their magazine where we saw the picture of that can, this is what they said they're going to do. that they're going to go after the things that people rely on, that they take for granted. air travel first among those lists. we're going to see emergency government meetings in france today. we'll see emergency government meetings in egypt. that is what we are going to be looking at in the next 24 hours as this unfolds. >> we should say we do not know what has brought down this plane. we don't know if it's mechanical failure in a cataclysmic way. we don't know if it is a bomb.

elaine is in paris right now. we'll bring in cbs news national transportation safety board expert and former chairman of the ntsb, mark rosenker from london. we know 56 were on board, ten crew members. the flight had crossed into egyptian airspace and had a ways to go before it was close to cairo's airport. it was at a cruising altitude, we understand, 37,000 feet, about ten miles from the egyptian airspace. let's talk about what might be happening now. it's believed that it went down around the mediterranean sea. i assume that investigators are looking in two areas. they're considering what might have brought this plane down could and they're looking at the search and rescue or recovery efforts. what's happening right now in terms of this mystery? >> the first thing they have to do is find the aircraft. they'll be trying to listen for the emergency locator transmitters which, in fact, go through a satellite. hopefully that will pinpoint where most of the aircraft might be. they'll be looking carefully to find, to

the flight originated in paris. let's talk about what we know and show you a list of the passenger in terms their nationalities. there were 30 egyptians, two iraqis. walid phares joins us now. so you have heard what the egyptian officials are saying. do you agree with them and if so, why? >> let's look at at chron long cal information. the greek report showed there were two incident at different altitude. the egyptians at first didn't want to accept this was terrorism. the russians said it's most likely terrorism. the minister of aviation said it's most likely terrorism. there was consultation and rush of information in the last few hours and it's looking like it's terrorism. martha: in the past with some of these incident we have spoken about, there was a perceived or real hess take on the part of egyptian officials to call it what it is because of for obvious reasons. they have a large tourism industry, they may or may not want it to appear they have a bigger problem than they would like to have on their hand. you

i want to bring in keir simmons who is here with me in paris. keir, we started talking about the question could something have happened here that caused that plane to go down. >> right. >> talk a little about the investigation that's going along at the stops along the way. >> you know, what happened here will be a question probably whatever they defined happened to the plane. if it was a bomb, and you've made clear we don't know that for sure, but if it was, then they'll want to know how it got on board that plane and the first place they'll look will be here. if it was a mechanical failure, they'll be wanting to look at what happened here, the repairs, the servicing of the airplane. remember, airbus is not far away from us so the spotlight will come back here, pretty much whatever scenario plays out, i guess, unless it was some kind of crew failure that caused the crash, in which case, of course, they egyptair employees. the focus then would go back to cairo. but we know something about where the plane went during the period before it took off

and european officials since those attacks in brussels and paris. there's a lot of concern here in the united states about security at european airports and, of course, what's going on in egypt where it's well known that isis has been stepping up its attacks. pressure on the egyptian government trying to bring pressure on the egyptian government there. something that concerns the united states very gravely. but at this point, there's nothing from the american side based on analysis of intelligence or satellite imagery that indicates whether or not there was a terrorism attacker whether the plane exploded we understand from various defense officials. clearly the investigation is moving along very quickly, if, in fact, debris has been found and spotted and determined where it is. that will certainly help determine what happens. very early stages and, yes, the bottom line here, a lot of concerns about whether this was or was not a terrorist attack. >> ron allen, thank you very much reporting from the white house. >>> before we go to a break, i want to

but let's get to paris right now. cnn senior international correspondent teekah shatika sh at charles de gaulle airport. what you seeing there, what are you hearing at charles de gaulle right now? >> reporter: well, we're actually in front of the egyptair ticketing desk and the airport, even though it is at its highest alert level is operating as normal. we have seen armed police, armed security going through the airport, making spot checks, but i have to point out this is high-level security that's been going on for some time now, for quite a few months here. the paris prosecutor has launched an investigation into the missing egyptair flight. that is absolutely standard procedure when an air disaster like this happens. what they are doing right now is scrutinizing that passenger and crew list, figuring out the backgrounds, the history of who was on board, but also, of course, any personnel that may have had access to that plane before the flight. now, actually in the last few months the charles de gaulle airport unde

was it in paris? >>> plus, los angeles international airport under heightened security alert tonight. let's go "outfront." >>> good evening. i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, the breaking news. a massive search under way tonight for any sign of egyptair flight 804. the plane, 66 on board, is still missing. it disappeared from radar nearly 24 hours ago. let me repeat. it's still missing. they haven't found it yet. u.s. officials are working on the early theory that the plane was taken down by a bomb. so far, no group, though, has come forward to claim responsibility. and just in at this moment to cnn, the names of the highly experienced crew. captain mohamed syed and his first officer, ahmed asem. the airbus a-20 calling from 37,000 feet in the sky. swerving wildly, plunging thousands of feet in just minutes, according to greece's defense minister. the paris to cairo flight took off from charles de gaulle airport, the main airport in paris. it is the second-largest airport in europe. and late today

you look at the paris massacres. you look at what happened in belgium, and then all of a sudden, you see this radical islamic threat that we have had there in europe, in what's on. so that is where i'm going to default right now. i think there's a much, probably 75% to 85% chance that it was terrorism. the egyptian government doesn't want to say that. the french government doesn't want to say that. nobody wants to say that. we have political correctness. we have all these things, but i do believe it's interconnected. >> the egyptian government, heather, even saying at this point that it's too early to say if it has crashed. it's egyptair itself saying that it's crashed. >> general, this is heather here. i want to ask you about this automated distress call, because we still don't know what happened yet. the plane disappeared at 37,000 feet. some sort of distress call went out. could you talk to us about an automated distress call and a voice distress call from one of the crew members or a pilot or co-pilot? >> i belie
