##SMALL-IMAGE#Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has said a submarine has been deployed to the Mediterranean Sea to search the black boxes of EgyptAir Flight 804 that went missing en route from Paris to Cairo.
While searchers have recovered parts of the plane wreckage, including passengers' personal belongings, life vests, aircraft chairs and even body parts, scouring the Mediterranean is still on to find the fuselage and flight data and cockpit voice recorders that would likely reveal what went wrong on the flight.
The debris about 290 kilometers (180 miles) north of Alexandria, Egypt were spotted said the Egyptian military, reports CNN.
So far, no survivors have been found, and authorities are still examining what have caused the plane with 66 people aboard to crash into the sea early Thursday.
Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister Sharif Fathi on Thursday said the chances of an act of terror causing the crash were higher than those of a mechanical failure. But on Sunday, he was more cautious urging the media not to jump to conclusions or speculate about what caused the crash.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault told passengers' families on Saturday said that "no theory" has been ruled out.
So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the crash.
Fathi has said that 30 passengers were Egyptian, 15 French, including an infant, and passengers from Iraq, Britain, Belgium, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Chad, Portugal, Canada and Algeria.
French aviation officials revealed on Saturday said that plane sent automatic messages about smoke in the front of the aircraft just before it crashed.
Meanwhile, Greek aviation officials said that Greece, France, the United States and other nations were searching about 130 nautical miles southeast of the Greek island of Karpathos.
